Before use



This WET/DRY shaver can be used for wet shaving with shaving
lather or for dry shaving. You can use this watertight shaver in
the shower and clean it in water. The following is the symbol of
Wet shaver. The symbol means that the hand‑held part may be
used in a bath or shower.

Treat yourself to wet lather shaves for at least three weeks and
notice the difference. Your Panasonic WET/DRY shaver requires
a little time to get used to because your skin and beard need
about a month to adjust to any new shaving method.



Using the shaver

Caution ‑ The outer foil is very thin and can be damaged if not
used correctly. Check that the foil is not damaged before using
the shaver. Do not use the shaver if the foil or blades are
damaged as you will cut your skin.
