Getting Used To Your Shaver

Congratulations on your purchase of a premium Remington® MicroScreen® 2 Shaver. It will give you years and years of close, comfortable shaves.

As with every shaver, your shave will improve over time. So allow about three weeks to develop an effective shaving style and for your skin to adjust to the new shaver.The adaptation period may take a little longer if your skin is sensitive, if you are switching from a different way of shaving, or if you alternate between shaving methods.

When you first removed your MicroScreen® 2 Shaver from its box, you may have noticed what appear to be small particles of white or gray powder on the MicroScreen or in or around the cutter assembly. The particles are from a coating of a special lubricant applied to the new foil and cutters to smooth breaking in your new shaver. They will disappear with use.

The Best Technique

It’s simple to get a great shave out of your new shaver. Here are a few tips for getting the closest shave possible:

Always use a clean, dry shaver.

Hold the shaver so all foils touch your face together. This allows the shaver to provide for the closest shave and minimum foil wear. Avoid holding the shaver at an angle so only one foil touches the skin. This will distort the foil and may cause some skin irritation.

Use short, circular strokes

and use your free hand to stretch your skin. This encourages your whiskers to stand out, making it easier for them to enter the cutting mechanism.

Never press hard. Pressing only flattens your whiskers, which makes it harder for them to enter the cutting mechanism. It will also wear out the foils more quickly.

Shaving Longer Hairs

Your MicroScreen® 2 Shaver is equipped with a special push-up trimmer that allows you to shave stubborn long hairs on facial and neck areas or trim a beard or mustache quickly and easily. Just push the trimmer button upward until the trimmer locks into position. Stroke the hairs being trimmed lightly. To extend battery life, turn off the trimmer while you are shaving.

Cleaning Your Shaver

TO ASSURE SMOOTH, EFFICIENT PERFOR - MANCE, IT IS IMPORTANT TO CLEAN YOUR SHAVER. Cleaning your Remington® MicroScreen®

2 Shaver is easy.

■Remove the Head Assembly by holding onto the sides of the Head Assembly at the arrows and gently lifting the assembly away from the shaver.

■Tap the base of the Head Assembly lightly on a flat surface. This should dislodge most of the hairs trapped within it. To guard against inadvertent damage, do not remove the Foil Assembly, except to replace it.

■Next, clean the Cutter Assembly while it is still on the shaver. Hold the shaver and Cutter Assembly as shown, and, using the brush supplied, lightly brush and blow the hair clippings from between the blades.

Tip: To help reduce wear and tear, spray the foils and Head Assembly with Remington® Spray Shaver-Saver®

the Remington® Pre-Shave Powder Stick (SP-5). Just rub it over your beard. It absorbs moisture and facial oils, helping set up the hairs so they enter the cutting chamber more easily. It makes shaving quicker and more comfortable.

■When you clean your shaver, just brush off any clippings that may accumulate around the trimmer Assembly.

Using the longer bristles on the brush supplied will enable you to get into the area between the trim- mer and the shaver.
