Shaving
Skin adaptation period
Your first shaves may not bring you the result you expect and your
skin may even become slightly irritated. This is normal. Your skin and
beard need time to adapt to any new shaving system. To allow your
skin to adapt to this new appliance, we advise you to shave regularly
(at least 3 times a week) and exclusively with this appliance for a
period of 3 weeks.
Shaving tips
- Select your personal comfort settings (see ‘The display’).
- To ensure the best result, we advise you to pre-trim your beard if
you have not shaved for 3 days or longer.
Dry shaving
1Switch on the appliance.
2Move the shaving heads over your skin in circular movements (Fig.
20).
Note: Circular movements provide better shaving results than
straight movements.
3Clean the appliance after use (see 'Cleaning and maintenance').
14 English

Wet shaving
You can also use this appliance on a wet face with shaving foam or
shaving gel.
To shave with shaving foam or shaving gel, follow the steps below:
1Apply some water to your skin (Fig. 21).
2Apply shaving foam or shaving gel to your skin (Fig. 22).
3Rinse the shaving unit under the tap to ensure that the shaving
unit glides smoothly over your skin (Fig. 23).
4Switch on the appliance.
5Move the shaving heads over your skin in circular movements (Fig.
20).
Note: Rinse the shaving unit regularly to ensure that it continues to
glide smoothly over your skin.
