Operating Instructions
For a Smooth Shave
- Prepare Your Skin: Ensure your face is clean. Wet the area to be shaved with warm water to soften the hair. For optimal results, apply a quality shaving cream or gel, such as GilletteLabs Rapid Foaming Shave Gel.
- Engage the Exfoliating Bar: The built-in exfoliating bar is designed to gently clear debris and lift hairs before the blades make contact. Hold the razor at a comfortable angle against your skin.
- Shave with Smooth Strokes: Glide the razor over your skin using light, even strokes. The 2D FlexDisc technology will contour to your face, maintaining optimal contact.
- Utilize the Precision Trimmer: For tricky areas like sideburns or under the nose, use the precision trimmer located on the back of the blade cartridge.
- Rinse Regularly: Rinse the razor head under running water frequently during your shave to prevent clogging and maintain blade performance.

Maintenance
Cleaning and Storage
- Rinse Thoroughly: After each shave, rinse the razor head thoroughly under running water to remove all hair and shaving cream residue. Do not tap the razor against the sink, as this can damage the blades.
- Dry the Razor: Gently shake off excess water. For best results, allow the razor to air dry.
- Store on Magnetic Stand: Place the clean, dry razor onto its premium magnetic stand. This keeps the blades elevated, allowing for proper air circulation and preventing contact with surfaces that could dull or damage them.
- Replace Blades: GilletteLabs blades are designed to last up to 30 shaves per refill. Replace the blade cartridge when you notice dullness or discomfort during shaving.
Troubleshooting
Common Issues
- Razor Dragging or Pulling: This often indicates a dull blade. Replace the razor blade refill. Ensure your skin is adequately wet and lubricated with shaving cream or gel.
- Skin Irritation/Razor Burn: Ensure you are using light strokes and not applying excessive pressure. Shave in the direction of hair growth, especially if you have sensitive skin. Make sure your skin is well-prepared with warm water and shaving product.
- Blades Clogging: Rinse the razor head frequently under running water during your shave. If clogging persists, ensure you are using enough shaving cream/gel and that your hair is sufficiently softened.
