Shaving
For radiant skin, the Silk&Soft system
captures even problem hairs, the
integrated SoftStrip stretches the skin
to ensure a closer reach and the floating
shaver foil and the floating longhair
trimmer hug the skin, all to ensure a
perfectly close shave. For a gentle shave,
the EasyGlide cushion ensures smoother
gliding and reduces skin irritation.
The additional OptiShave attachment
allows an extra close and comfortable
shave of legs.
Press and slide up the on/off switch to
turn the shaver on. Make sure that the
TrimLock is in the «shave» position.
For optimum shaving results, place the
OptiShave attachment onto the shaver
head (A). It ensures perfect closeness
and the optimum usage angle so that
both, the shaver foil and the long hair
trimmer are in contact with the skin.
Move the appliance slowly against the
direction of hair growth. Adjusting to
the body contours, the long hair trim-
mer first raises all long hairs and cuts
them off. Then the shaver foil follows
to smooth away any stubble.
If you have not shaved for a long
period of time, remove the OptiShave
attachment to allow a faster pre-cutting
of longer hairs (B).
Always ensure that both, the shaver foil
and the long hair trimmer are in contact
with the skin.
Shaving your legs with the Skin
Smoothing attachment
Instead of the OptiShave attachment,
you may want to use the Skin Smoothing
attachment (6) that helps enhancing the
general look of the skin surface thanks
to its smoothing pad. The smoothing
pad gently scrubs the skin to remove
dead skin particles, thus revitalizing the
skin and giving it a radiant lode.

Proceed as follows:
– Remove the OptiShave attachment (1)
and replace it with the Skin Smoothing
attachment (6).
– When guiding the appliance slowly
against the direction of hair growth,
make sure that the long hair trimmer,
the shaver foil and smoothing pad are
in contact with the skin.
Shaving and styling the underarm and
bikini area
In these sensitive areas, make sure that
you always shave on stretched skin in
order to avoid injuries (B). Please take
special care if the skin surface is uneven
or provided with skin tags. Make sure not
to touch them with the long hair trimmer.
Shaving the underarm and bikini area:
Remove the OptiShave attachment for a
perfect reach. Always stretch your skin
when shaving.
Bikini area styling:
For trimming precise lines and contours,
lock the long hair trimmer by sliding the
TrimLock to the position (C1). To trim hair
to a uniform length, lock the long hair
trimmer and place one of the bikini zone
trim attachments (7) onto the shaver head
(C2). For optimum results, move the
appliance slowly against the direction of
hair growth. For fast and best results
when trimming long hair, we recommend
that you use the 4mm bikini zone trim
attachment.
When you are finished
After shaving, you may want to smooth
on a little body cream or lotion. However,
avoid using irritating substances like
deodorants with alcohol right away.
