Shaving
Skin adaptation period
Your rst shaves may not bring you the
result you expect and your skin may even
become slightly irritated. This is normal.
Your skin and beard need time to adapt to
any new shaving system.
We advise you to shave regularly (at least
3 times a week) for a period of 3 weeks to
allow your skin to adapt to the new shaver.
During this period, use your new electric
shaver exclusively and do not use other
shaving methods. If you use different shaving
methods, it is more difcult for your skin to
adapt to the new shaving system.

the shaver.

skin. Make both straight and circular
movements (Fig. 8).
