Shaving
Skin adaptation period
Your first shaves may not bring you the result you
expect and your skin may even become slightly

you to shave regularly (at least 3 times a week) and
exclusively with this appliance for a period of 3
weeks.
Shaving tips
- For the best results on skin comfort, pre-trim
your beard if you have not shaved for 3 days or
longer.

'Personal comfort settings').
