Are Philips shavers waterproof, washable or shower-safe?

Published on 04 September 2026

Most current Philips shavers are designed for convenient cleaning and Wet & Dry use. Philips 3-head shavers made after 2010 are watertight, allowing you to rinse them under running water and, where supported, shave with foam or gel and use the shaver in the shower.

Most Philips 2-head shavers are also washable, although some basic models may not be designed for wet or shower use. If you have an older Philips shaver or a 2-head model, always check the product specifications or user manual to confirm whether it is suitable for use with water.

For safe use, always shave cordless when using water, foam, gel, or shaving in the shower. Rinse the shaver after use and follow the cleaning and charging instructions provided for your specific model.
