Usage Tips

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

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.

To Trim

To use the Easy-View®

pop-up trimmer, simply push the trimmer but-

ton up. The trimmer will pop up for ready use. Hold the shaver

as shown in the illustration. To conserve battery energy (on rechargeable shavers only), it is recommended to use the trim- mer only when needed for trimming. When through using, push the trimmer button downward to lock into the OFF position.

Trim Sideburns

Simply touch the 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 shaver head and keep the trimmer in the OFF position when the shaver is not in use.

For an Even Better Shave…

Remington® Pre-Shave Powder Stick (SP-5) or the Pre-Shave Lotion with Aloe (SP-6) can help maximize your shaver’s perform- ance. Just rub either product over your beard. Both absorb moisture and facial oils, helping set up the hairs so they enter the cutting chamber more easily. They make shaving quicker and more comfortable.
