performance.

NOTE: In order to ensure optimal performance, thoroughly rinse the
shaver head under water during and after shaving.

5. Apply water to face and neck area.

6. Apply shave gel or foam to applicable shaving area.

7. Rinse shaver head under water.

8. Shave face and neck using short, circular strokes.

9. Throughout the shave, regularly rinse shaver head under water to avoid residue
build up.

10. When finished shaving, rinse face.

11. Thoroughly rinse shaver head of all gel or foam.

12. Follow cleaning and care instructions located on page 8

Shaving Tips (Dry)

• Ensure your skin is free of oils.

• Wait at least 15 minutes after getting up before shaving, to ensure your face is
free of puffiness that may be present from sleeping.

• Always hold the shaver at a right angle to the skin so that the screens are
touching the skin with equal pressure.

• Stretch skin with the free hand so hairs stand upright, making it easier for
them to enter the cutting chamber.

• Use moderate to slow, circular stroking movement.

• The use of short, circular motions in stubborn areas may obtain a closer
shave, especially along the neck and chin line.

• Do not press hard against the skin to avoid skin irritation and/or damage to the
shaver head.

**We recommend that you use your new shaver daily for up to four
weeks to allow time for your hair and skin to become accustomed to the
new shaving system**

REPLACING YOUR HEADS & CUTTERS

It is very important to replace your head and cut ters when necess ary to ensure a close,
comfor table shave without irrit ation. 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 heads get excessively worn you may experience some skin irritation. This

would be especially noticeable when you apply moisturizing lotion.

• Pulling: When the cut ters 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 heads and cutters.

Replacement heads & cutters may be obtained from your local retailer, or directly from
Remington®. Simply fill out the enclosed accessory order form or alternatively your order can
be proces sed over the phone via the Remington® Ser vice Hotline - refer to page 12.
