Be gentle and apply the right amount of pressure

• While shaving, it is important to be gentle, especially if you have sensitive skin that is prone to irritation. Do not press the shaver too hard against your skin. Only apply gentle pressure that makes your facial hair stand upright and makes it easier for the shaver blades to catch and cut them.
• Gentle pressure also reduces friction between the shaver and your skin, resulting in a more comfortable experience. The latest models of S9000 will help you to apply the right amount of pressure thanks to its pressure-guard feature.
