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. We advise you to shave regularly (at least 3 times a week) with this shaver for a period of 3 weeks to allow your skin to adapt to the new shaver.

Note: This appliance can only be used without a cord.

1. Switch on the appliance.
2. Move the shaving heads over your skin in circular movements.
   
   Note: Do not make straight movements.
3. Clean the shaver after use (see chapter 'Cleaning and maintenance').

Wet shaving

You can also use this shaver in the shower or on a wet face with shaving foam or shaving gel. To shave with shaving foam or shaving gel, follow the steps below:

1. Apply some water to your skin.
   
2. Apply shaving foam or shaving gel to your skin.
   
3. Rinse the shaving unit under the tap to ensure that the shaving unit glides smoothly over your skin.
   
4. Switch on the shaver.
5. Move the shaving heads over your skin in circular movements.
   

Note: Rinse the shaver under the tap regularly to ensure that it continues to glide smoothly over your skin.
