3. Setup and Preparation

1. Unpack: Carefully remove the razor from its packaging.
2. Prepare Skin: For best results, shave after a warm shower or bath to soften hair. Apply a shaving cream, gel, or foam to the area you intend to shave. This helps to lubricate the skin and lift the hair.

4. Operating Instructions

1. Hold Firmly: Grip the ergonomic handle securely.
2. Shave with the Grain: For a comfortable shave, especially for sensitive skin, shave in the direction of hair growth. For a closer shave, you may reapply shaving cream and shave against the grain, but this can increase the risk of irritation.
3. Use Light Pressure: The razor blades are sharp. Apply gentle, even pressure. Let the blades and the pivoting head do the work.
4. Rinse Frequently: Rinse the razor head under warm running water after every few strokes to prevent hair and shaving cream buildup between the blades. This maintains optimal shaving performance.
5. Navigate Contours: The pivoting head is designed to follow the curves of your face and body. Use short, controlled strokes in these areas.
6. Post-Shave Care: After shaving, rinse your skin with cool water to close pores. Pat dry and apply an aftershave balm or moisturizer to soothe and hydrate the skin.

5. Maintenance

• Rinse Thoroughly: After each shave, rinse the razor head completely under warm water to remove all hair and shaving cream. Do not tap the razor against the sink, as this can damage the blades.
• Air Dry: Allow the razor to air dry completely before storing it. This helps to prevent rust and maintain blade sharpness.
• Storage: Store the razor in a dry place, away from excessive humidity.
• Replacement: As a disposable razor, replace the BIC Comfort 3 Advance when the blades become dull or when the lubricating strip fades. This typically occurs after several shaves, depending on hair type and frequency of use.

6. Troubleshooting

• Razor Pulling Hair: If the razor feels like it's pulling hair instead of cutting it, the blades are likely dull. Replace the razor with a new one.
• Skin Irritation/Redness:
  • Ensure you are using enough shaving cream or gel.
  • Shave with the grain of your hair, especially if you have sensitive skin.
  • Apply light pressure; pressing too hard can cause irritation.
  • The razor might be dull; replace it.
• Nicks or Cuts:
  • Use a fresh, sharp razor.
  • Ensure your skin is well-lubricated with shaving cream.
  • Use short, controlled strokes and avoid rushing.
