Packed with new, innovative technology, Philips Norelco Shaver Series 9000 delivers the closest shave without compromising comfort, control or choice. Stand-out innovations include:

• Proprietary Contour Detect technology, which allows the three rotary shaving heads to simultaneously flex in eight different directions. This movement intuitively detects and follows every contour on a man's face, capturing 20 percent more hairs in every pass.
• With its new state-of-the-art cutting system – V-Track Precision blades – the shaver can reach hairs at any angle, including hard-to-reach areas on the neck, cutting hairs up to 30 percent closer to the skin*.
• A unique SmartClean system cleans, dries, charges and lubricates Philips Norelco Shaver Series 9000 at the touch of a button, so it shaves like the first time, every time.

"Delivering on our promise of creating meaningful innovation, the Philips Norelco Shaver Series 9000 combines world class engineering with innovative design to give men our most advanced shaving experience yet, with the most convenient way to maintain their shaver at peak performance," says Annette Domnik, Senior Marketing Director for Philips Personal Care. "We are committed to consistently raising the bar in the male grooming category - bringing new advancements in shaving to men who want the latest and best in shaving technology."
