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

beard if you have not shaved for 3 days or longer.
