PHILIPS BODY SHAVER SHOWERPROOF SERIES 3000

• Designed for “everywhere below the neck” grooming – chest, back, shoulders, underarms, groin, legs. 

• Skin-friendly shaving head: features hypo-allergenic foil and rounded tips to protect skin from cuts and nicks. 

• Includes a 3 mm click-on comb for trimming to a fixed length; you can also remove the comb for a closer shave. 

• Runtime: approx 40 minutes cordless use after an 8-hour full charge (for certain model variants) using Ni-MH battery. 

• Fully showerproof / water resistant: wet & dry use; easy cleaning by rinsing. 

• Ergonomic rubber grip for better control, especially on harder-to-reach body zones. 

• Built for durable, maintenance-free use (no oiling required). 

 Key Benefits

• All-in-one body grooming: Instead of using separate trimmer + shaver for body zones, this device covers full-body use (legs, groin, back, chest) with safety in sensitive areas.

• Skin-protective design: The hypo-allergenic foil + rounded tips mean less risk of irritation, nicks or cuts — especially useful in areas like underarms, groin.

• Wet & dry flexibility: You can use it in the shower (easy rinse) or dry. Good for convenience and hygiene.

• Simple trim length / shaving option: With the 3 mm comb you get a uniform trim; remove the comb for a closer finish.

• Cordless + good runtime: Approx 40 minutes (some variants up to 50 minutes) cordless after charging, so you can cover body zones without being tethered.

• Ergonomics for reach: The rubber grip helps maneuvering across shoulders/back and other awkward zones.

• Easy maintenance: Fully washable; no need to oil blades; built for body hair (different from face-only shavers).

How to Use It

Here’s a step-by-step guide to get best results:

1. Charge fully

   • Plug in and charge until the battery is full (approx 8 hours for Ni-MH version). 

   • Make sure battery indicator (if present) shows ready before you start cordless.

2. Select your trim/shave mode

   • If you want a light trim: attach the 3 mm comb.

   • If you want a closer shave: remove the comb and use just the foil/shaver head.

   • For thicker hair, you may choose to trim with comb first, then go in for closer shave. 

3. Dry or Wet Use

   • While you can use it in the shower (wet mode) because it is showerproof, many users prefer trimming before you shower (on dry hair) for better control and capture. 

   • If using wet, rinse frequently to remove clipped hairs; ensure device is safe to operate in water (check manufacturer instructions).

4. Shave / Trim across body zones

   • Hold the groomer with a comfortable grip. Use the rounded tips surface to gently glide over skin surfaces.

   • For larger flat areas (chest, back): go in slow straight strokes.

   • For tricky zones (under arms, groin, legs): maneuver carefully, use less pressure, let the blade do the work.

   • If using comb: move against direction of hair growth for even trimming. If shaving: use light sweeping strokes.

5. After-use cleaning & care

   • Rinse the head under running water (device is washable/showerproof).

   • Dry the head and body of the groomer well before storing (especially if wet-used).

   • Disconnect comb (if detachable) and clean any trapped hairs.

   • Store in a dry place; avoid leaving in sopping-wet environment for prolonged time.

   • Check for any performance drop (if blades dull or feel tugging) — though these models typically need minimal maintenance and no oiling.

6. Long-term & tips

   • If you find certain parts (e.g., back) difficult to reach, consider using a mirror or doing that area last.

   • For trimming down long body hair (say several cm), you might want to pre-trim with scissors first, then use the groomer.

   • Replace the device or parts according to manufacturer guidance when performance drops (check manual).

   • Maintain consistent grooming schedule (e.g., once a week) for neat results and less discomfort.
