Bumps, cuts, and in-growns, oh my!

Body hair. It’s a thing that no one ever talks about. But we all have it, right? Hair removal is not a sexy topic but, if I can be candid with you, I started using my first-ever electric shaver—the Philips SatinShave—over the last few weeks and it’s truly made me quit thinking of hair removal as a dreaded chore. Before I always used a manual razor. Cheap ones, slightly nicer ones, even ones from hotels when I’ve forgotten to pack my own. I think I hated spending money on this women’s product just because it is so disposable. As a result, it made shaving so much trickier and time-consuming because I had to be sure to go slowly and evenly in order to avoid nicks and irritation.

We’ve all heard the cringy (but let’s face it, true) seasonal shaving memes that come with the temps dipping—It’s the first day of fall! Leg shaving season is officially over; or how about, Winter: the three-month break between a woman and her razor; and my personal fav, It’s time to break out the weed wacker. These legs aren’t going to shave themselves! Now I’m all for body hair positivity… but you guys… for those “sometimes days” (or nights) when you just want a smooth leg (and other bits), the Philips SatinShave makes going fuzz-free at home so easy and painless that you may even look forward to it. If you’re a newbie to electric shavers like me, let me tell you why I’m never going back to manual/disposable blades!

You get a much closer shave—and you don’t have to steal his razor anymore to get it.

Your S.O.’s sturdy metal shaver for men traditionally has more blades than your smaller one—which is an essential detail that gives him a closer shave. The first blade pulls the hair up, and the blades that follow get really close to the root. Now Philips SatinShave has closed the gender gap—it comes with an Efficiency Cap addition that you simply snap on to help hairs stand upright while shaving so hairs are easier to remove. Bonus points: it’s designed to capture more hairs in one single pass!

Advanced design means less nicks, cuts, and irritation.

What about nicks and cuts? These are often caused by dull, overused razors (guilty!) and not enough cushion between skin and blade. Philips SatinShave provides two accessories for extra safety in sensitive areas—and you only have to change out the shaving head cutting unit once a year! Shaving cuts the hair right below the skin’s surface, which leaves you with a prickly feel after shaving. But Philips SatinShave helps you get a much closer shave so bumps are a thing of the past.

* The floating foil shaving head maintains close contact for an even shave—so much better than any other manual razor I’ve used!

* Pearl-tip trimmers next to the foil protect your skin from irritation

* Ergonomic S-shaped handle is easy to steer for effortless control—and more effectively reaches all your contours for fewer missed hairs. The quality weighted design provides a balance that you don’t get with razors, and acts as a natural extension of your hand. No need to worry about how hard to push.

* Soft Glide Cap attachment covers the back trimmer for extra safety in sensitive, curvy areas… perfect for underarms, ladies! Pro tip: for shaving underarms, put your hand on the back of your head to stretch the skin

* Trimming Comb attachment for the bikini area lets you easily groom hair to a length of 1/8 inch

Say bye bye to shaving creams.

Or maybe you’re like me, sometimes I only use water to shave because I’m super lazy but then my skin gets irritated. (I know, I know.) When I do use a shaving cream, I hate how messy it can get and how the residue leaves my shower feeling slimy. So, what to do? Suffer no more, with the Philips SatinShave, you can use this shaver wet or dry, whatever floats your boat. *Literally doing the happy dance right now!* Now I can sit on the comfort of my bed shaving and it’s mess-free.

Seasonal jokes aside, removing unwanted hair has become as much a part of our routines as taking out the garbage (and inspires just as much excitement). But thanks to innovations in shaving with Philips SatinShave, you can get smoother faster, and with far less irritation. Plus, another fabulous feature? Now I can toss those cheap hotel razors, because the Philips SatinShave comes with a convenient travel pouch and a rechargeable battery (provides up to 1 hour of cordless usage)—perfect for all the weekend getaways and upcoming holiday travel. If you’re ready to change your shave game with me, raise your hand!
