THE ALL-ROUNDER / TOOL TIPS

PREPARING THE SKIN
Before using the foil shaver, make sure that the skin is perfectly clean and free from
grease or cream. Exfoliating the skin once or twice a week before shaving helps to
maintain healthy and fresh skin, but it also helps to:
• Prevent hairs from growing under the skin, resulting in in-grown hairs
• Remove dead skin cells and refine the texture of your skin, resulting in a closer shave
• repare your skin to help it absorb skin care products.
We recommend exfoliating ideally the day before, as well as just before shaving.
This will help straighten the hair and make it easier to shave. Avoid exfoliating just after
shaving.
Having a warm shower before use will also help to soften the hair.
For optimum results, it is recommended to trim the hair first if it is quite long using the
32mm trimming blade.
1. Attach the foil shaving head.
2. Switch the trimmer on by sliding the On/Off switch upwards so that the “I”marking is
visible.
3. Always keep the shaver perpendicular to the surface to be shaved.
4. Always work with both hands: stretch the skin with one hand and move the trimmer
with the other hand.
5. Slowly move the shaver, exerting light pressure. As a precaution, the operation of
the trimmer may slow down substantially if the foil shaving head is pressed too hard
against the skin.
WET SHAVING
1. Thoroughly wet the body with warm water and apply foam or gel. This will help to
lubricate the body and enable the shaver to glide across then skin for increased
closeness and reduced irritation.
2. Move the shaver over the skin, applying minimal pressure only as this allows the hairs
to be shaved much more quickly and cleanly. Do not press.
3. For the closest shave, shave against the direction of hair growth, or with the hair
growth, whichever is preferred, but remember that hair grows in different directions.
4. Tilt the shaver up and down whilst shaving for best results.
5. Rinse the shaver regularly whilst shaving, keeping the TRIMMER running whilst rinsing
the head for faster cleaning.
