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 difcult for your skin to adapt

to the new shaving system.

motions on your skin.
