Philips Launches Palm-Sized 'Compact Shaver 500 Series' on June 3

Philips Japan announced the release of the 'Philips Compact Shaver 500 Series,' a palm-sized rotary shaver designed for portability, starting June 3, 2026.

Philips electric shavers are a global No.1 brand with over 80 years of history, distributed in 123 countries. Since their launch in 1939, Philips has focused on blade quality, conducting continuous research and development at its own manufacturing facilities in the Netherlands.

The new 'Compact Shaver 500 Series' features a design measuring approximately 88 x 59 x 34 mm and weighing about 130g. Despite its compact size, it incorporates a rotary shaving system that delivers a thorough, close shave. It includes a protective cap and a carry case, making it convenient for use during work, before evening outings, on business trips, or while traveling.

By condensing Philips' rotary shaving technology into a small body, this product serves as an ideal tool for mid-day grooming or as a secondary shaver, catering to the active lifestyles of modern users. Its sleek design also makes it a suitable choice for gifts.
