How To Use

Getting a Close, Comfortable Shave

The Best Technique

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

Always use a clean, dry shaver. Make sure that the cutter head assembly is in the locked position.

Wait at least 15
minutes after getting		12
up before shaving,
	9	3
to ensure the face is
free of puffiness that		6
may be present from
sleeping.

Make sure your face is clean and dry before starting.

A shaving appliance is a washable shaver, the hand-held part of which may be cleaned under water.

To Shave

Push the on/off button to activate the shaver for shaving.

The MicroFlex® needs no adjustments to

the heads or cutters

before you shave. The floating heads will automatically adjust to

the contours of your

face. It is not neces- sary to apply pressure while shaving…let the shaver glide lightly on

your skin. This gentle

touch makes shaving easier and helps avoid possible skin irritation.

Use short, circular strokes. Use your free hand to stretch your skin. This encourages your whiskers to stand out, making it easier for them to enter the cutting chamber.

To Trim

To use the Easy-View®

locking pop-up trim- mer, simply push the trimmer button up.

The trimmer will pop-up for use. Hold the shaver as shown in the illustration. To conserve battery energy (on rechargeable shavers only), it is recommended to use the trimmer only when needed for trimming. When through using, push the trimmer button downward to lock into the off position.

NOTE: It is important to always use the button to close the trimmer to avoid damaging the locking mechanism.

Trim Sideburns

Simply touch the comb-edge of the trimmer to the desired line for neat, clean sideburns.

Trim Mustache

Hold shaver at desired trim line for a quick, easy, professional trim. The trimmer can also be used to trim the upper edge of your mustache.

■Always keep the protective head guard on the cutter head and keep the trimmer in the “off”position when the shaver is not in use. The head guard must be put on with the rear tab to the back of the shaver.

For a Better Shave

To help maximize your shaver's performance, consider using the Remington® Pre-Shave Powder Stick (SP-5). Just rub 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.

ComfortSelectTM Suspension System

Your Remington shaver is equipped with ComfortSelectTM suspension system for personalized

comfort. For a closer shave, move the ComfortSelectTM lever to the right. For a more comfortable shave with less irritation, move the lever to the left.
