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.
• Press and slide up the on/off switch to
turn the shaver on. Make sure that the

• Move the appliance slowly against the
direction of hair growth. Adjusting to
the body contours, the long hair trim-
mer first raises all long hairs and cuts
them off. Then the shaver foil follows
to smooth away any stubble.
• Always ensure that both, the shaver foil
and the long hair trimmer are in contact
with the skin.
