Operating Instructions
For optimal shaving results and comfort, follow these steps:
- Prepare your skin: Wet your face with warm water to soften the hair. Apply a generous amount of Gillette shaving gel or foam to create a rich lather.
- Shave with Mach3 Turbo: Hold the razor with a comfortable grip. Shave with light, gentle strokes in the direction of hair growth. The Flexball technology allows the razor to pivot and maintain contact with your skin's contours, reducing the need for excessive pressure.
- Rinse and Refresh: After shaving, rinse your face thoroughly with cool water to remove any remaining lather and hair. For best results, apply Gillette After Shave Lotion to soothe and moisturize your skin.

Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of your Gillette Mach3 Turbo razor.
Cleaning the Razor:
- After each stroke, rinse the blades under running water to clear away hair and shaving cream.
- Do not tap the razor against the sink or wipe the blades, as this can damage the precision components.
Replacing the Blade:
The lubricating strip on the blade head will fade from blue to white over time, indicating that the blade is no longer providing optimal performance and should be replaced.
