Shaving
For safety reasons, the appliance can therefore only
be used without cord.

under the shower. For a wet shave, apply some water
and shaving foam or gel to your skin and rinse the
shaving heads under the tap with warm water before
following the steps below.

2 Move the shaving heads over your skin in circular
movements to catch all hairs growing in different
directions. Make sure each shaving head is fully in
contact with the skin. Exert gentle pressure for a
close, comfortable shave.
Note: Do not press too hard, as this can cause skin
irritation.
Note: If you are shaving with gel or foam, rinse the
shaving unit regularly during your shave to ensure
that it continues to glide smoothly over your skin.
3 Use the narrow sides of the shaving unit to shave
in hard-to-reach areas such as along your jawline
and under your nose.
4 Switch off and clean the appliance after each use.
Note: Make sure you rinse all foam or shaving gel
off the appliance.
Skin adaptation period
Your first shaves may not bring you the result you
expect and your skin may even become slightly
irritated. This is normal. Your skin and beard need time
