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

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.
