  • Poor Shaving Performance: Check the LED screen for a "replace blade" reminder. Clean the shaver thoroughly as indicated by the "cleaning reminder".
  • Charger Adapter Not Received: As noted in the package contents, the charger adapter may be shipped separately. If it does not arrive within a reasonable timeframe after the shaver, please contact customer support.
