When is it Time to Replace
Your Heads and Cutters?
It is very important to replace your
heads and cutters when necessary
to ensure a close, comfortable shave
without irritation. We recommend
they be replaced every 12 months.
Here are some signs of head and
cutter wear, indicating that replace-
ment is needed.
Irritation
As the heads get excessively worn
you may experience some skin
irritation. This would be especially
noticeable when you apply after-
shave lotion.
Pulling
When the cutters wear 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 heads and cutters.
The replacement part for this shaver
is model #SP-29.
