Use on wet skin
You can use the Ladyshave on wet skin, while you have a
bath or shower. To achieve the best result, lather your skin
with soap or shaving cream beforehand.
Use on dry skin
If you prefer to use the Ladyshave dry, make sure that
your skin is clean and completely dry.
Note: in principle, there is no difference in using
the appliance on wet skin and using it on dry skin. You can
simply choose which method you like best.
Note: Do not apply alcohol based-lotions to the skin directly
before or after shaving. If you want, you can apply some
talcum powder.

as this has a negative effect on shaving performance and
may cause some skin irritation.
Shaving
Legs and bikini line

appliance (Fig. 9).
2 Hold the appliance at an angle of approximately 70°.

the best result, move the Ladyshave up and down
and from left to right (Fig. 13).
Efciency cap (HP6342 only)
If you are new to shaving, you can use the efciency
cap to help you place the Ladyshave on the skin at the
optimum angle. When the efciency cap is placed at on
the skin, the shaving foil and trimmer are fully in contact
with the skin. This helps to get perfect results.
