Philips Shaver Series 9000 Prestige

The product shown is a high-end electric rotary shaver from the Philips Series 9000 Prestige line. This flagship series is characterized by its high-quality metallic finish and advanced shaving technology. Philips originally introduced the rotary shaver in 1939 under the 'Philishave' brand, invented by engineer Alexandre Horowitz in Eindhoven, Netherlands.

While Royal Philips has shifted its primary focus toward health technology, its personal care division continues to lead the grooming market. While many entry-level models are manufactured in China or Indonesia, premium models like the S9000 Prestige are notably still manufactured at the Philips factory in Drachten, the Netherlands.

In 2021, Philips sold its Domestic Appliances division to Hillhouse Capital, a global investment firm. However, the shaver business remains part of the 'Personal Health' division of Royal Philips, not the divested domestic appliances unit (now known as Versuni). As of 2026, the brand remains under the ultimate ownership of Koninklijke Philips N.V., headquartered in Amsterdam.
