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
- For the best results on skin comfort, pre-trim your
beard if you have not shaved for 3 days or longer.
- Select your personal comfort setting (see 'Personal
comfort settings').
