The Philips SH90/81 is a set of replacement shaving heads designed for the Philips Shaver series 9000 (S9xxx) and Star Wars Shaver series (SW97xx, SW67xx). These shaving heads are crucial for maintaining optimal performance of your Philips shaver, ensuring a consistently close and comfortable shave. Philips recommends replacing the shaving heads every two years to restore 100% performance, as within this period, the heads will have cut approximately 9 million hairs.

Function Description:

The primary function of the SH90/81 replacement heads is to restore the original shaving efficiency of compatible Philips shavers. Over time, shaving heads naturally wear down, leading to reduced cutting performance and a less comfortable shave. By replacing the old heads with the SH90/81, users can experience a "reset" to new, ensuring the shaver continues to deliver a precise and smooth shave. The heads are designed to perfectly guide hairs for a close shave and lift hairs to cut comfortably close, thanks to their advanced blade technology.

Important Technical Specifications:

Compatibility: Specifically designed for Philips Shaver series 9000 (S9xxx), Star Wars Shaver SW97xx, and Star Wars Shaver SW67xx. It is also compatible with Shaver series 8000 (S8xxx).
Blade Technology: Features V-Track Precision blades and Super Lift & Cut Action. The V-Track Precision Blades are engineered to gently position each hair in the best cutting angle, including flat-lying or different length hairs, allowing for a cut up to 30% closer in fewer strokes. The Super Lift & Cut Action involves a dual-blade system where the first blade lifts each hair, and the second blade comfortably cuts it below skin level for a smooth result.
Included in Pack: Shaving unit.

Usage Features:

Single Pass, Precise Shave: The V-Track Precision blades are designed to perfectly guide hairs, ensuring a close shave. The Super Lift & Cut Action further enhances this by lifting hairs for a comfortably close cut.
Improved Version: This version is presented as an improved solution, making the maintenance of your Philips Shaver easier than ever. The new format simplifies the installation of new shaving heads, facilitating thorough cleaning and optimizing the daily shave experience.
Easy to Replace Heads: The replacement process is straightforward and can be completed in just two steps. First, pull the shaving head holder off. Second, replace the old shaving heads with the new SH90/81 heads. Third, reattach the shaving head holder.
Resetting the Shaver: After replacing the shaving heads, it is important to reset the shaver to acknowledge the new heads and clear any replacement reminders. This is done by pressing and holding the on/off button for more than 7 seconds. This action resets the shaver's internal counter, ensuring optimal performance tracking.

Maintenance Features:

Replacement Recommendation: Philips recommends changing the shaving heads every two years to maintain 100% performance. This ensures that the shaver continues to cut efficiently and comfortably.
Replacement Reminder: Modern Philips shavers equipped with the SH90/81 heads feature an inbuilt replacement reminder. This reminder, often displayed as a shaving unit symbol, will light up to indicate when it's time to replace the shaving heads.
Automatic Reminder Turn-off: If the manual reset procedure is not performed after replacing the heads, the replacement trigger will automatically turn off after 9 successive shaves, assuming the new heads have been installed. However, manual reset is recommended for immediate acknowledgment and optimal performance tracking.
Easy Maintenance: The design of the SH90/81 heads and the shaver's head holder facilitates easy removal and reattachment, simplifying the cleaning process and ensuring the shaver remains hygienic and performs at its best.

In summary, the Philips SH90/81 shaving heads are an essential accessory for compatible Philips shavers, designed to restore peak performance and ensure a consistently close, comfortable, and precise shave. Their advanced blade technology, ease of replacement, and integration with the shaver's maintenance reminders make them a user-friendly and effective solution for shaver upkeep.
