How To Order Shaver Accessories

Please refer to the shaver compari­son and features chart near the
front of this manual that lists the
correct replacement part number
for your shaver.

It is very important to replace your
screens and cutters when necessary
to ensure a close, comfortable shave
without irritation. We recommend they
be replaced every 6 months. Here are
some signs of head and cutter wear,
indicating that replacement
is needed:

■ Irritation: As the screens get
excessively worn you may
experience some skin irritation.
This would be especially noticeable
when you apply moisturizing lotion.

■ Pulling: When the cutters wear you
may feel a sense of pulling and a
loss of closeness when you shave.
This is an indication that it is time
to replace your screens and cutters.
