when necessary to insure 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 replacement is needed.

Irritation
As the heads get excessively worn there may be some
skin irritation.This would be especially noticed when
applying 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 in
cation that it is time to replace your heads and cutters.
