Shaving advice

Shaving

There are 2 ways to obtain advice: guided shave real time or synchronized shave. We advise you to start with the guided shave to enhance your shaving experience. Correct handling of your shaver will contribute to the best shaving result. Next, follow the advice obtained from the synchronized shaves and the personalized programs.

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 needs time to adapt to any new shaving system.
Follow the advice provided by the app and shave regularly (at least 3 times a week) with this shaver for a period of 3-4 weeks to allow your skin to adapt to the new shaver.

Shaving tips

- For the best results on skin comfort, pre-trim your beard if you have not shaved for 3 days or longer.
- Move the shaving heads over your skin in circular movements.
- Keep each shaving head fully in contact with your skin.
- Exert gentle pressure for a close, comfortable shave.
