2. Operating Instructions
2.1 Preparing for Shave
- Wet Skin: Thoroughly wet the area of skin you intend to shave with warm water.
- Apply Shaving Cream/Gel: Apply a generous amount of shaving cream or gel to create a rich lather. This helps to soften the hair and lubricate the skin, reducing friction and irritation.
2.2 Shaving Technique
- Hold Razor: Hold the Gillette Custom Plus3 razor firmly but comfortably in your hand. The ergonomic handle is designed for a secure grip, even when wet.
- Shave with the Grain: For best results and to minimize skin irritation, shave in the direction of hair growth using light, even strokes. The 40-degree pivot head adjusts to the contours of your face or body for a close shave.
- Rinse Frequently: Rinse the razor head frequently under running water during your shave to prevent hair and shaving cream buildup between the blades. The Easy Rinse Blades are designed for efficient cleaning.
- Post-Shave Care: After shaving, rinse your skin with cool water and pat dry. Apply an aftershave balm or moisturizer to soothe and hydrate the skin.

3. Maintenance
3.1 Cleaning the Razor
- After each stroke, rinse the razor head under running water to clear away hair and shaving cream.
- Do not tap the razor against the sink or any hard surface, as this can damage the precision blades.
3.2 Storage
- Store your razor in a dry environment to prolong blade life.
- Always place the protective cap back on the razor head when not in use to protect the blades from damage and maintain hygiene.
