How to use

Shaving beard

1 Press and shave.

• The "shaving sensor", which automatically adjusts the power depending on the beard thickness, will operate.

It will shave with high power on areas where the beard is heavy, and reduce the power on areas where the beard is thin, to reduce burden on the skin.

Tips for better shaving

Apply the whole system outer foil perpendicularly against the skin and shave by slowly gliding the shaver over the face against the grain of the beard.

• The beard under the chin and around the throat can be shaved better by stretching the skin so the beard will stand.
• To prevent damaging the system outer foil, do not shave with only a part of the system outer foil.

2 Press when finished.
