Shaving
For radiant skin, the Silk&Soft system
captures even problem hairs, the
integrated SoftStrip stretches the skin
to ensure a closer reach and the floating
shaver foil and the floating longhair
trimmer hug the skin, all to ensure a
perfectly close shave. For a gentle shave,
the EasyGlide cushion ensures smoother
gliding and reduces skin irritation.
The additional OptiShave attachment (1)
allows an extra close and comfortable
shave of legs.

turn the shaver on. Make sure that the
TrimLock (2f) is in the «
• For optimum shaving results, place the
OptiShave attachment onto the shaver
head (A). It ensures perfect closeness
and the optimum usage angle so that
both, the shaver foil and the long hair
trimmer are in contact with the skin.
• Move the appliance slowly against the
direction of hair growth. Adjusting to
the body contours, the long hair trim-

them off. Then the shaver foil follows

Wet usage
The appliance can also be used on wet
skin. Make sure that the skin is very moist
to achieve optimum gliding conditions.
Wet usage on sensitive skin might lead to
skin irritations (e.g. reddening).
Shaving your legs with the exfoliation
attachment
Instead of the OptiShave attachment,
you may want to use the exfoliation
attachment (6) that helps enhancing the
general look of the skin surface thanks
to its exfoliation pad. The exfoliation
pad gently scrubs the skin to remove
dead skin particles, thus revitalizing the
skin and giving it a radiant lode.
Proceed as follows:
– Remove the OptiShave attachment (1)
and replace it with the exfoliation
attachment (6).
– When guiding the appliance slowly
against the direction of hair growth,
make sure that the long hair trimmer,
the shaver foil and exfoliation pad are
in contact with the skin.
Shaving and styling the underarm and
bikini area
In these sensitive areas, make sure that
you always shave on stretched skin in
order to avoid injuries (B). Please take
special care if the skin surface is uneven
or provided with skin tags. Make sure not
to touch them with the long hair trimmer.
Shaving the underarm and bikini area:
Remove the OptiShave attachment for a
perfect reach. Always stretch your skin
when shaving.
