How to use?
Shaving with a shaver is a process that excludes hasty and chaotic actions. When using the device, barbers recommend smooth up and down movements. Preliminary preparation of the skin (steaming), as well as the use of shaving aids, is not required in this case.
When shaving with a shaver, do not press the surface of the working heads too tightly against the skin.
If necessary, stretch the skin slightly with your fingertips.
Shaving with a shaver is carried out in stages. First, the cheeks and neck are shaved with the device, after which they move to the chin area. At the final stage, the delicate area of the skin above the upper lip is treated with a shaver.
It should be noted that the shaver, like any other razor, allows you to most effectively remove hairs of small length (1-2 millimeters). Longer hair is recommended to be shortened with scissors or a trimmer before using the shaver. The shaver is then used according to the technique outlined above.
