Shaving
I Use this Groomer for its intended household
use as described in this manual.
> Do not use this Groomer to shave or trim
facial or scalp hair. The Groomer should only
be used on skin below the neckline.
> When shaving sensitive areas for the first time,
you may feel some discomfort, irritation or
reddening of the skin. This is normal as your
skin needs time to adjust to shaving.
I If your hair is longer than 13/32 in. /10 mm, trim
hair using a trimmer comb first for optimum
shaving results.
I For dry use, be certain that your skin is clean
and dry before using the Groomer.
> For wet use, you may prepare your skin with
lathered soap or shaving foam before using the
Groomer.
I Make sure the shaving foil is in complete
contact with your skin for the closest shave
and minimum foil wear.
> Pressing too hard may cause skin irritations.
I Practice is best for optimum results.
