Getting a Close,

Comfortable Shave

Remington shavers need no adjustments to their heads or cutters before you shave. The heads will automatically adjust to the contours of your face.It is not necessary to apply pressure while shaving,just let the shaver glide lightly on your skin.This gentle touch makes shaving easier and helps avoid possible skin irritation.

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

It’s simple to get a great shave from your new shaver. Here are a few tips:

■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 up before

that may be present from sleeping.

■Make sure your face is clean and dry before starting.

To shave

■Push the ON/OFF button to activate the shaver for shaving.

■Hold the shaver so all the heads touch your face together.

This allows the shaver to work the way it was designed for the closest shave and minimum wear. Avoid holding the shaver at an angle so only one head touches the skin.This could cause 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.

■Never press hard. Pressing only flat- tens your whiskers, which makes it harder for them to enter the cutting chamber. It will also wear out the

cutting surface more quickly.
