shaving lather or for dry shaving.You can use this watertight

means suitable for use in a bath or shower.
Treat yourself to wet lather shaves for at least three weeks and
notice the difference.Your Panasonic WET/DRY shaver requires
a little time to get used to because your skin and beard need
about a month to adjust to any new shaving method.

correctly. Check that the foil is not damaged before using
the shaver. Do not use the shaver if the foil is damaged as
