Key Features

- Indicator Lubrastrip: Fades to white when an optimal shave is no longer being achieved, signaling it's time for a blade change.
- Soft Microfins: Gently smooth and stretch the skin before the blades, preparing hairs for cutting.
- Precision Trimmer: Located on the back of the cartridge for tackling hard-to-reach areas and styling facial hair.
- Flexible Comfort Guard: Adapts to the contours of your face for a comfortably close shave.

Setup
Attaching a New Blade Cartridge
- Ensure your Gillette Fusion5 or ProGlide razor handle is clean and dry.
- Locate a new blade cartridge from its packaging.
- Align the razor handle with the new cartridge. The handle should click securely into place.
- Gently pull the handle away from the cartridge dispenser to detach the new blade.
- To remove an old blade, press the release button on the razor handle and slide the old cartridge off. Dispose of used blades safely.

Operating Instructions
Achieving an Optimal Shave
For best results, prepare your skin by washing your face with warm water to soften the hair. Apply a quality shaving gel or foam to create a rich lather.
- Shaving Technique: Use light, gentle strokes. The 5 anti-friction blades are designed to cut hair efficiently with minimal pressure.
- Lubrastrip: The indicator lubrastrip provides lubrication during your shave. When it fades to white, it indicates that the blade may no longer be providing an optimal shave and should be replaced.
- Precision Trimmer: For precise edging and trimming, flip the razor head to expose the single precision trimmer blade on the back. This is ideal for shaping sideburns, trimming under the nose, or defining facial hair lines.

Maintenance
Cleaning and Storage
- Rinsing: After each few strokes, rinse the blades thoroughly under running water to remove hair and shaving cream. Do not tap the razor against the sink or wipe the blades, as this can damage them.
- Drying: Shake off excess water and allow the razor to air dry.
- Storage: Store your razor in a dry place, away from excessive humidity, to prolong blade life.
Regular cleaning helps maintain blade hygiene and performance.
Troubleshooting
Common Concerns
- Dull Blades: If the lubrastrip has faded to white, or if you experience tugging or discomfort during shaving, it's time to replace your blade cartridge.
- Skin Irritation/Razor Burn: Ensure your skin is well-hydrated and lubricated with shaving gel. Use light strokes and shave in the direction of hair growth. If irritation persists, consider using a fresh blade or a shaving cream designed for sensitive skin.
- Difficulty Trimming: For thicker or longer hair, use the precision trimmer on the back of the cartridge. Shave in short, controlled strokes.
