Operating Instructions

Preparation for Shaving

1. Wet your face thoroughly with warm water to soften the hair.
2. Apply your preferred shaving cream or gel evenly over the area to be shaved.

Shaving Technique

1. Hold the razor handle comfortably.
2. Using light, gentle strokes, glide the razor over your skin. The exfoliating bar will help prepare the skin, and the 2D FlexDisc will adapt to your facial contours.
3. Shave in the direction of hair growth for optimal comfort and to minimize irritation. For a closer shave, you may reapply cream and shave against the grain, if comfortable.
4. Rinse the razor head frequently under running water during shaving to prevent hair and cream buildup between the blades.

Maintenance

Cleaning the Razor

• After each use, rinse the razor head thoroughly under warm running water to remove all hair and shaving cream.
• Do not tap the razor against the sink or any hard surface, as this can damage the blades and the razor head.
• Shake off any excess water and allow the razor to air dry.

Storing the Razor

• Store the razor on its magnetic stand to keep it upright and allow for proper drying.
• When traveling, use the provided travel case to protect the razor and blades from damage and to maintain hygiene.

Replacing Blades

• Replace the blade cartridge when the lubrication strip (located above the blades) fades to white, or when you experience tugging, pulling, or discomfort during shaving.
• Follow the instructions in the "Detaching a Blade Cartridge" section to remove the old blade and attach a new one.
