USING THE FOIL SHAVER
PREPARING THE SKIN
Before using the foil shaver, make sure that the skin is perfectly clean & free
from grease or cream. Exfoliating the skin once or twice a week before shaving
helps to maintain healthy & fresh skin, but it also helps to:
• Prevent hairs from growing under the skin, resulting in in-grown hairs
• Remove dead skin cells & refine the texture of your skin, resulting in a closer
shave
• Prepare 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 & make it easier to shave. Avoid exfoliating just
after shaving.
Having a warm shower before use will also help to soften the hair.
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 & 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.
