heads under the tap with warm water before following
the steps below.

2Move the shaving heads over your skin in circular
movements to catch all hairs growing in different
directions. Make sure each shaving head is fully in
contact with the skin. Exert gentle pressure for a close,
comfortable shave.
Note: Do not press too hard, as this can cause skin
irritation.
Note: If you are shaving with gel or foam, rinse the
shaving unit regularly during your shave to ensure
that it continues to glide smoothly over your skin.

hard-to-reach areas such as along your jawline and
under your nose.

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.
