Before using, check foil

foil shows signs of wear
or damage, do not use

For wet shaving, you
may wish to prepare
your skin with soap or
shaving cream before
shaving.

When shaving your

sary to press hard to get
a close shave. Pressing
too hard may cause skin
irritation, and razor will
not function properly. In

ever, want to use talcum
powder.

■
Do not submerge Razor
in water for extended
periods of time.
■
To keep Razor water-
resistant, keep the rub-
ber sealing ring in bat-
tery compartment clean

you may want to apply a
thin coating of petrole-
um jelly to ring to keep
it from drying out.
