STAMFORD, Conn., Nov. 16, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — What happens when artificial intelligence (AI) is integrated into your grooming routine? You get a shave personalized to your preferences and the features of your face that are wholly unique. Introducing the Philips Norelco Shaver Series 9000, the latest innovation from the world’s #1 electric shave and groom brand that features a revolutionary pairing of AI and the connected Philips GroomTribe app to deliver the ultimate smart shaving experience. Philips Norelco Shaver Series 9000  delivers superior closeness* and personalized skin comfort even on five-day beards.

• For incredible skin comfort, Philips Norelco Shaver Series 9000 has a Pressure Guard sensor, which links with an intelligent light ring that illuminates in different colors to indicate whether and when the right amount of pressure is applied.
• Motion Control sensors in Philips Norelco Shaver Series 9000 track and guide shaving motions for a more efficient shaving technique.
• When used with the Philips GroomTribe app, the shaver provides real-time feedback to users on their shaving patterns including pressure, speed and motion, as well as personalized shaving plans and tips.

“Philips Norelco pioneered artificial intelligence in electric shavers with the debut of Philips Norelco Shaver Series 7000 in January 2021,” said Brett Bardsley, Philips Norelco Marketing Director. “SenseIQ technology is the outcome of years of research and development and delivers superior results, helping users feel confident in their shave no matter their hair length, hair type or skin type.”

From software to hardware, Philips Norelco Shaver Series 9000 has features that help deliver a more comfortable shave every time, even on a day five beard*:

• Providing superior closeness, Dual SteelPrecision self-sharpening blades perform up to 150,000 cutting actions per minute, requiring fewer strokes and resulting in less skin irritation.
• 360-degree, fully flexible heads follow facial contours without tearing skin and the Protective SkinGlide coating reduces friction on skin by 25%**.
• Ensuring a close shave that also helps keep skin smooth, hair-guide precision heads are shaped to get as close to the skin as possible; the surfaces are enhanced with hair guiding channels designed to move hair into an effective cutting position.
• Featuring both wet & dry capabilities, Philips Norelco Shaver Series 9000 is available with the new Quick Clean Pod cleaning station, which thoroughly cleans and lubricates your shaver in just one minute, keeping it performing at its best for longer.
