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
shaving, to ensure your
face is free of puffiness
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.
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.
