SHAVING TIPS (WET) WITH GEL OR FOAM
We recommend that you use the shaver in the shower for optimal
performance.
Note: Normally, the head pivots freely but its movement can be restricted
by sliding the head lock button to the locked position on the back of the
shaver.
Note: In order to ensure optimal performance, thoroughly rinse the shaver
head under water during and after shaving.
• Apply water to face and neck area.
• Apply shave gel or foam to the face and neck.
• Rinse shaver head under water.
• Hold the shaver at 90° to your skin.
• Stretch your skin and shave against the direction of your beard growth
using linear strokes.
• For areas such as the chin and neck where hair grows in different
directions use small circular strokes.
• While shaving do not press hard against the skin to avoid skin irritation
and/or damage to the foils.
• Throughout the shave, regularly rinse shaver head under water to
avoid residue build up.
• When finished shaving, rinse face.
• Thoroughly rinse shaver head of all gel or foam.
• Follow cleaning and care instructions located on page 10
SHAVING TIPS (DRY)
• Ensure your skin is free of oils.
• Wait at least 15 minutes after waking up before shaving, to ensure
your face is free of puffiness that may be present from sleeping.
• Hold the shaver at 90° to your skin.
• Stretch your skin and shave against the direction of your beard growth
using linear strokes.
• For areas such as the chin and neck where hair grows in different
directions use small circular strokes.
• While shaving do not press hard against the skin to avoid skin irritation
and/or damage to the foils.

Note: As with every shaver, your shave will improve over time. Allow up to
four weeks of daily shaving to develop effective shaving style and for your
skin to adjust to the new shaver. The adaptation period might take a little
longer if your skin is sensitive, if you are switching from a different method
of shaving, or if you alternate between shaving methods.
TRIMMING
Pop-up Trimmer:
1. Push trimmer release button to engage trimmer. (Diagram F)
2. Trim long, difficult hairs and side burns. (Diagram G)
3. Close trimmer by pressing down. (Diagram H)
Note: Lubricate teeth with oil every 6 months.
Stubble Styler:
The Stubble Styler comb is designed to help you maintain a 3-day stubble
look. Please be aware that you cannot shave a full long beard down to
stubble length with the stubble styler.
To achieve the look:
• Clean shave your face initially and then let your beard grow for two or
three days.
• Attach the stubble styler to the cutting head of the shaver.
• Shave your face with short, linear motions. The stubble guard will only
trim hairs that are over 1.5 mm in length.
• Shave with the stubble styler at least every two days to maintain the
length and do not allow hairs to get too long.
• Detach the stubble styler if you wish to have a clean shave look on
your neck or other areas of your face where you do not want stubble
showing.
Tips: Faster growing areas of your beard will begin to be trimmed first.
Slower growing areas of your beard will fill in over a period of a few days or
weeks.
