DO’s
■For best shaving performance, it is recommended that
you use your new shaver daily for two to three weeks to
allow time to find the optimum shaving method for your par-
ticular type beard and hair growth patterns (direction) for
each area of your face and neck.
■Wait at least 15minutes after getting up before shaving.
■Thoroughly cleanse and dry skin prior to shaving.
■IMPORTANT: Always hold the shaver at a right angle to
your skin using moderate to slow stroke movements.
■The use of short circular strokes in stub-
born areas may help obtain a closer shave,
especially along chin line.
■Daily cleaning of the cutting system is
recommended to ensure optimum shaving
performance.
■The use of pre-shaves and powders will
require more frequent cleaning due to
additional residue build up on foils and
cutters, which may reduce shaving time.
■Worn or damaged parts should be
replaced with Remington replacement
parts only.
DON’Ts

the foil and may cause the cutter to damage the foil.
■To avoid foil damage, do not press hard against the skin.

When Is It Time to Replace
Your Foil and Cutter?
It is very important to replace your foil and cutter when neces-
sary to ensure a close, comfortable shave without irritation.
We recommend that the foil be replaced every 6 months and
the cutter be replaced every 12 months. Here are some signs
of foil and cutter wear, indicating that replacement is needed.
IRRITATION: As the foil gets excessively worn there may be
some skin irritation. This would be especially noticed when
applying After Shave lotion. When the cutter wears, you may
feel a sense of “pulling” and a loss of closeness when you
shave. This is an indication that it is time to replace your cutter
and foil. Visually check for any signs that the cutter has worn
through the foil. It is always best when replacing the cutter to
replace the foil at the same time.
Remington Pre-Shave Powder Stick
Absorbs moisture and facial oils...shaver glides easily over
your skin. Sets up beard for a smooth, close shave. Makes
shaving quicker and more comfortable.
Remington Shaver Saver Lubricant
Aspray to clean and lubricate your shavers’cutters and head
assembly. Helps remove hair chips while it reduces wear. Just
a quick spray after each shave keeps your shaver operating at
peak performance.
