SHAVING TIPS

• The Remington® WE Tech CLOSE SHAVE is waterproof. You may use shaving

foam or gel with your shaver. You may also shave in the shower.

• 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 all three heads 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 rotary heads.

• As with every shaver, your shave will improve over time. Allow up to four

weeks of daily shaving to develop an effective shaving style and for your skin
to adjust to the new shaver. The adaptation period my take a little longer if
your skin is sensitive, if you are switching from a different method of shaving,
or if you alternate between shaving methods.

TRIMMING

1. Push trimmer release button to engage trimmer. (Diagram F )

REPLACING THE HEAD & CUTTERS

Please refer to the FEATURE table on page 5 of this manual that lists the correct
replacement part number for your shaver.

It is very important to replace your head and cutters when necessary to ensure
a close, comfortable shave without irritation. We recommend they be replaced
every 12 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 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
heads and cutters.

Replacement heads & cutters may be obtained from your local retailer, or directly
from Remington
page 8 & 9, or alternatively your order can be processed over the phone via the
Remington
