3. Setup

4. Operating Instructions
Follow these steps for an optimal shaving experience:
- Prepare Skin: Wet your face or body area to be shaved with warm water. This helps to soften the hair and open pores.
- Apply Shaving Cream/Gel: Apply a generous amount of shaving cream or gel (such as Gillette Series Gel) to the area. This creates a protective layer and helps the razor glide smoothly.
- Shave: Hold the razor at a comfortable angle. Shave in the direction of hair growth using light, gentle strokes. Avoid applying excessive pressure.
- Rinse Razor: Frequently rinse the razor blades under running water during shaving to clear away hair and shaving cream buildup.
- Rinse Skin: After shaving, rinse your skin thoroughly with cool water to close pores.
- Moisturize: Apply an aftershave balm or moisturizer to soothe and hydrate your skin.
5. Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures hygiene and extends the effective life of your disposable razor:
- Cleaning: After each use, rinse the razor thoroughly under running water to remove all hair and shaving cream. Do not tap the razor against a hard surface, as this can damage the blades.
- Drying: Shake off excess water and allow the razor to air dry. Do not wipe the blades, as this can dull them or cause injury.
- Storage: Store the razor in a dry place, away from excessive humidity, to prevent corrosion. Keep it out of reach of children.
- Disposal: When the Lubrastrip fades to white or the blades feel dull, it's time to dispose of the razor. Dispose of used razors safely in a designated waste bin.
6. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Razor pulling hair or feeling rough | Blades are dull or clogged. | Rinse blades thoroughly. If still dull, replace the razor. |
| Skin irritation or razor burn | Insufficient lubrication, dry shaving, or shaving against the grain. | Ensure skin is well-lubricated with shaving cream/gel. Shave with the grain. Use a fresh razor. |
| Nicks or cuts | Applying too much pressure, dull blades, or uneven skin surface. | Use light strokes. Replace dull razors. Be extra careful around contours. |
