Shaving

For safety reasons, the appliance can therefore only

You can use this appliance either wet or dry, or even
under the shower. For a wet shave, apply some water
and shaving foam or gel to your skin and rinse the
shaving heads under the tap with warm water before
following the steps below.
Switch on the appliance.
1
Move the shaving heads over your skin in circular
2
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.
Note: If you are shaving with gel or foam, rinse the
shaving unit regularly during your shave to ensure
that it continues to glide smoothly over your skin.

in hard-to-reach areas such as along your jawline
and under your nose.

off the appliance.
