Getting a Close, Comfortable Shave
Congratulations on your purchase of a premium
R e m i n g t o n®M i c r o S c r e e n®3 Shaver. Yo u r
R e m i n g t o n®M i c r o S c r e e n®3 Shaver is a wise
investment for men who are concerned with looking well-groomed. It will give you years and years
of close, comfortable shaves. As with every shaver,
your shave will improve over time. So allow about
three weeks to develop an effective shaving style
and for your beard to adjust to the new shaver. T h e
adaptation period may take a little longer if your
skin is sensitive, if you are switching from a diff e rent way of shaving, or if you alternate between
shaving methods.
When you first removed your M i c r o S c r e e n®3
Shaver from its box, you may have noticed what
appear to be small particles of white or gray powder on the MicroScreen or in or around the cutter
assembly. The particles are from a coating of a
special lubricant applied to the new foil and cutters to smooth breaking in your new shaver.They
will disappear with use.
The Best Technique
It’s simple to get a great shave out of your new
shaver. Your M i c r o S c r e e n®3 Shaver is designed
to do all the work. The first foil sets up the beard
so that more hairs enter the cutting chamber of
the second foil where they are cut just below the
level of the skin. The third foil helps give you an
extra-close shave. Here are a few tips for getting
the closest shave possible:
Always use a clean, dry shaver.
Wait at least 15 minutes after rising
1 2

to allow the puffiness that most
men experience upon waking to

disappear.
Make sure your face is clean and dry before
starting.
Hold the shaver so all three foils touch your face
t o g e t h e r. This allows the shaver to work the way
it was designed for the closest shave and minimum foil wear. Avoid holding the shaver at an
angle so only one foil touches the skin. This will
d i s t o rt the foil and may cause some skin irr i t a t i o n .
Use short, circular strokes.
Use your free hand to stretch your skin. This
encourages your whiskers to stand out, making it
easier for them to enter the cutting mechanism.
Never press hard. Pressing only flattens your
whiskers, which makes it harder for them to
enter the cutting mechanism. It will also wear
out the foils more quickly.
Shaving Longer Hairs
Your Remington®MicroScreen®3 Shaver is
equipped with a special push-up trimmer that
allows you to shave stubborn long hairs on facial
and neck areas or trim a beard or mustache
quickly and easily. Just push the trimmer button
upward until the trimmer locks into position.
Stroke the hairs being trimmed lightly. To extend
battery life, turn off the trimmer while you are
shaving.
For a Better Shave...
To help maximize your shaver’s performance, consider using
the Remington®Pre-Shave Powder Stick (SP-5). Just rub it
over your beard. It absorbs moisture and facial oils, helping
set up the hairs so they enter the cutting chamber more easily.
It makes shaving quicker and more comfortable.
Cleaning Your Shaver
TO ASSURE SMOOTH, EFFICIENT PERFORMANCE, IT
IS IMPORTANT TO CLEAN YOUR SHAVER.
your Remington®MicroScreen®3 Shaver is easy.
■ Remove the head assembly
by holding onto the sides of the
head assembly at the arro w s
and gently lifting the assembly
away from the shaver.
■ Tap the base of the head
assembly lightly on a flat surface. This should dislodge most
of the hairs trapped within it. To
g u a rd against inadvertent damage, do not remove the foil
a s s e m b l y, except to replace it.
■ Next, clean the cutter
assembly while it is still on the
s h a v e r. Hold the shaver and
cutter assembly as shown,
and, using shorter bristles on
the brush supplied, lightly bru s h
and blow the hair clippings fro m
between the blades.
Ti p :To help reduce wear and tear, spray the foils and
head assembly with Remington®Spray Shaver- S a v e r
Lubricant after every shave. This helps remove hairs
while keeping your shaver operating smoothly.
