    Should I shave with or against the direction of hair growth with my Philips Head Pro?

    Published on 26 August 2025

    For best results, move the device in circular motions and shave in the direction of hair growth. Stretch the skin slightly and apply gentle pressure for a close, comfortable shave.

    Please note: Shaving against the grain may cause irritation for some users.
