Getting Used To Your Shaver
Congratulations on your purchase of a premium
R e m i n g t o n
® M i c r o S c r e e n ® 2 Shaver. It will give you
years and years of close, comfortable shaves.
As with every shaver, your shave will improve over
time. So allow about three weeks to develop an
e ffective shaving style and for your skin to adjust to
the new shaver.The adaptation period may take a
little longer if your skin is sensitive, if you are
switching from a different way of shaving, or if you
alternate between shaving methods.
When you first removed your M i c r o S c r e e n ® 2
Shaver from its box, you may have noticed what
appear to be small particles of white or gray pow-
der on the MicroScreen or in or around the cutter
assembly. The particles are from a coating of a
special lubricant applied to the new foil and cut-
ters to smooth breaking in your new shaver. They
will disappear with use.
The Best Technique
It’s simple to get a great shave out of your new
shaver. Here are a few tips for getting the closest
shave possible:
Always use a clean, dry shaver.
Wait at least 15 minutes after rising
to allow the puffiness that most men
experience upon waking to disap -
pear.
Make sure your face is clean and dry
before starting.

Cleaning Your Shaver
TO ASSURE SMOOTH, EFFICIENT PERFOR -
MANCE, IT IS IMPORTANT TO CLEAN YOUR
SHAVER. Cleaning your Remington
® MicroScreen ®
2 Shaver is easy.
■ Remove the Head Assembly
by holding onto the sides of the
Head Assembly at the arro w s
and gently lifting the assembly
away from the shaver.
■ Tap the base of the Head
Assembly lightly on a flat surf a c e .
This should dislodge most of the
hairs trapped within it. To guard
against inadvertent damage, do
not remove the Foil Assembly,
except to replace it.
■ Next, clean the Cutter
Assembly while it is still on the
s h a v e r. Hold the shaver and
Cutter Assembly as shown,
and, using the brush supplied,
lightly brush and blow the hair
clippings from between the
b l a d e s .
Ti p : To help reduce wear and tear, spray the foils and
Head Assembly with Remington ® Spray Shaver- S a v e r ®
Lubricant after every shave. This helps remove hairs
while keeping your shaver operating smoothly.
Trimmer Care
The trimmer on your R e m i n g t o n ® MicroScreen ® 2
Shaver is easy to maintain.
■ When you clean your shaver, just brush off any
clippings that may accumulate around the trimmer
Assembly.
Using the longer bristles on the brush supplied will
enable you to get into the area between the trim-
mer and the shaver.
Hold the shaver so all foils touch your face
together. This allows the shaver to provide for
the closest shave and minimum foil wear. Avoid
holding the shaver at an angle so only one foil
touches the skin. This will distort the foil and may
cause some skin irritation.
Use short, circular strokes
and use your free hand to stretch your skin.
This encourages your whiskers to stand out,
making it easier for them to enter the cutting
mechanism.
Never press hard. Pressing only flattens your
whiskers, which makes it harder for them to
enter the cutting mechanism. It will also wear
out the foils more quickly.
Shaving Longer Hairs
Your MicroScreen ® 2 Shaver is equipped with
a special push-up trimmer that allows you to
shave stubborn long hairs on facial and neck
areas or trim a beard or mustache quickly and
easily. Just push the trimmer button upward until
the trimmer locks into position. Stroke the hairs
being trimmed lightly. To extend battery life, turn
off the trimmer while you are shaving.
For a Better Shave...
To help maximize your shaver ’s performance, consider using
the Remington
® Pre-Shave Powder Stick (SP-5). Just rub it
over your beard. It absorbs moisture and facial oils, helping
set up the hairs so they enter the cutting chamber more easily.
It makes shaving quicker and more comfortable.
