Shaving
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 to adapt to any
new shaving system. To allow your skin to adapt to this
new appliance, we advise you to shave regularly (at least
3 times a week) and exclusively with this appliance for a
period of 3 weeks.
Shaving tips
- For the best results on skin comfort, pre-trim your
beard if you have not shaved for 3 days or longer.
- Select your personal comfort setting (see 'Personal
comfort settings').
Dry shaving
1 Switch on the shaver.
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.
3 Switch off and clean the shaver after each use (see
'Cleaning and maintenance').
The display lights up for a few seconds to show the
remaining battery charge.
Wet shaving
For a more comfortable shave, you can also use this
appliance on a wet face with shaving foam or shaving
gel.
1 Apply some water to your skin.
