symbol means suitable for use 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.
• Do not bring the system outer foil into contact with hard
objects.
Doing so may damage the blades as they are very thin and
deform easily.
• Do not dry the main body with a dryer or a fan heater.

outer foil, do not shave with only a
part of the system outer foil.
