  3. Stretch your skin and shave against the direction of your beard growth.

Cleaning

Regular cleaning ensures better shaving performance. Rinsing the shaving head under running water after each shave is an easy and fast way to keep it clean (A). If you regularly clean the shaver under water, then once a week apply a drop of light machine oil onto the long hair trimmer (4) and shaver foil.

Model 150s only:

  • Switch the shaver on and rinse the shaver head under hot running water.
  • You may use liquid soap without abrasive substances. Rinse off all foam and let the shaver run for a few more seconds.
  • Next, switch off the shaver, and remove the shaver foil (2) and cutter block (3). Then leave the disassembled shaving parts to dry.

Model 130s only:

  • After each shave, rinse the shaver head under hot running water (A).
  • You may use liquid soap without abrasive substances. Rinse off all foam.
  • Next, remove the shaver foil (2) and cutter block (3). Then leave the disassembled shaving parts to dry.
  • Alternatively, you may clean the shaver using the brush provided (B):
  • Switch off the shaver. Remove the shaver foil and tap it out on a flat surface.
  • Using the brush, clean the cutter block and the inner area of the shaver head. However, do not clean the shaver foil with the brush as this will damage the foil.

Keeping your shaver in top shape

Replacing the shaver foil and cutter block
