Shaving Techniques
The Braun M1012 features a double shaving unit with a foil and cutter for short stubble, and a comb trimmer for longer beards. Its individual floating dual head adapts to your facial contours.
- For Short Stubble: Use the foil and cutter unit. Hold the shaver at a right angle to your skin and move it against the direction of hair growth. Stretch your skin with your free hand to ensure a close shave.
- For Longer Beards: Use the integrated comb trimmer. This helps to pre-trim longer hairs before using the foil for a closer finish, or for maintaining a specific beard length.
- Wet Shaving: The shaver is 100% waterproof, allowing for comfortable wet shaving with foam or gel, or even in the shower.
- Dry Shaving: For quick and convenient shaves, use the shaver dry.
Maintenance
Cleaning
Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and hygiene.
- Daily Cleaning: After each use, turn off the shaver. Rinse the shaving head under running water. Since it's 100% waterproof, you can rinse the entire shaver.
- Thorough Cleaning: Periodically, remove the shaving head and brush away any accumulated hair from the internal components. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry before reassembling.
Replacing Shaving Unit
For continued optimal shaving performance, it is recommended to replace the shaving unit (foil and cutter block) every 18 months, or when you notice reduced performance. The compatible shaver head for this model is 20MB.
- To replace, gently press the release buttons (if present) or pull the old shaving head upwards to remove it.
- Align the new shaving head (20MB) with the shaver body and press down until it clicks into place.
