Philips Domestic Appliances and Personal Care unit, a division of Philips, started manufacturing electric shavers, since 1939. The company forayed into selling electric shavers in the USA in the year 1948, following the World War II. The original shavers were named as Philishave until the year 2006, when the company abandoned the name tag for a simpler title of “Philips.” The company chose the brand name in the year 1940 as a step to legally prevent another company “Philco” from misusing the brand name. The title, Norelco, is a derivative of the words, "North American Philips Company" and "Electrical".
