Using One Blade

Shaving and edging

Your One Blade is waterproof, so you can shave in the shower or with foam or gel.

1. To shave, make long, slow and steady strokes **(Fig. 5),

applying gentle pressure with the blade flat against your skin (Fig. 6).

** Move the blade back and forth to make use of both sides of the blade.

2. To edge or contour your beard (Fig. 7),
   
   mustache or sideburns, make short strokes with the blade held perpendicular to your skin (Fig.   8).
   
   Alternatively, make small strokes with the blade flat against your skin.

3. For best results, clean your One Blade after each use.

Maintenance

Cleaning One Blade

For a quick clean, simply blow on the blade and any accessories to remove hairs and dirt **(Fig. 9).

**

Thorough cleaning

1. Turn on your One Blade and rinse it under the tap with cold or lukewarm water (Fig. 10).

If you shave with foam or gel, be sure to remove all residue after each shave.

2. Allow your One Blade and any accessories to air dry completely before storage.

Note: Do not bang the handle on the sink or any hard surface, a this may damage the product (Fig. 11).

Do not wrap the cable around the product when storing, and do not place or store the product where it can fall or be pulled into a tub or sink, water or other liquid while plugged in.

Blade Replacement

When to replace the blade

For optimal cutting and gliding performance, we advise you to replace the blade every 4 months or when it no longer provides the shaving or trimming results you expect. Depending on your usage behavior, the exact lifetime of the blade could be longer or shorter.

Wear indicator

A replacement symbol will gradually appear on the blade as you use it. When the replacement symbol is fully visible, it’s recommended to replace your blade **(Fig. 12).

**

Note that accessories such as guards can prevent the replacement symbol from becoming visible.

Tip: the replacement symbol resembles the arrow icon on the handle of your One Blade. For older blades, a green rectangle may appear in place of the replacement symbol.

If you notice any damage on your blade, please replace it immediately.
