If you are curious about how safe it is to use a shaving foil on your body, please see the information below.
All Philips products consisting of a shaving foil are skin friendly. Philips is not a dermatological authority and cannot give skin, hair, or nail advice on individual cases.
Before using a Philips product with a shaving foil, it is good practice to visually check the grooming device to ensure the shaving foil is still intact. Replace the foil immediately when it is damaged, via our webshop or your local Consumer Care.  
You can use the shaving foil to trim and shave your body hair below the neckline, for example armpits, arms, legs and pubic area. We do not recommend using it on your face or head, because you will not get desired results, and it may also damage your skin.
Some products come with additional attachments to use on sensitive areas, like your pubic region. You can find more information about using these attachments this in your user manual or can contact us.

Back of the device
- For some grooming devices like the OneBlade, the model and serial numbers are located on the back of the handle. The model number usually starts with 2 letters followed by 4 digits, e.g. QP2540. The serial number has the format of YYWW (Year and week).
Top of the device
- Some hair clippers and beard trimmers have the model number located on the top of the device, just below the cutting teeth. The serial number is usually located under the cutting unit. Try removing the upper part of your groomer and check for the 4 digit number in the format of YYWW, e.g. 1823.

Crossed-out tap symbol
- If you see a crossed-out tap symbol on the box or body of your groomer, it means that the groomer is not washable and should be cleaned without water.
Tap symbol
- A tap symbol printed on your grooming device indicates that it is washable and its parts (cutters and combs) can be cleaned with water. However, this does not mean that you can use it to clip or trim your hair in the shower or bath.
Bath or shower symbol
- If you see a shower or bath symbol printed on your groomer, it means that your device is waterproof. It can be safely cleaned with water and used while taking a shower or a bath. For safety reasons, these waterproof groomers can only be used cordless and will not turn on if they are connected to the power supply.
