Getting Used To Your Shaver
MicroFlex® Extra features more blades than any other rotary for an extra close,extra comfortable,extra fast shave - Guaranteed!
As with every shaver, your shaver will improve over time. So allow about three weeks to develop an effective shaving style
and for your skin to adjust to the new shaver. The adaptation period may take a little longer if your skin is sensitive,if you are switching from a different way of shaving,or if you alternate between shaving methods.
Turn on the Shaver
Push up the on/off button while pushing in its locking bar. (Locking bar on R-842 and R-845 only)
Mustache Trimming
Hold shaver heads at the desired trim line for a quick,easy, professional trim. Trim the upper edge of your moustache with the Easy-View® pop-up trimmer.
Pop Up the Trimmer
Hold the shaver as shown,and push up the trimmer button to pop it up for use. To conserve energy, we recommend using the trimmer only when needed for trimming.When you’re done,push the
trimmer button downward to lock it in the off position.
Trim Sideburns
Touch the cutting edge of the trimmer to your sideburn for a neat,clean line.
