Setup
Before first use, ensure all packaging is removed. The razor handle and one blade cartridge are typically pre-assembled. An additional blade cartridge is provided for future replacement.
Attaching the Shower Hook
- Clean the desired surface in your shower thoroughly. Ensure it is dry and free of soap residue.
- Remove the protective backing from the adhesive strip on the back of the shower hook.
- Press the hook firmly onto the clean, dry surface for at least 30 seconds.
- Allow the adhesive to set for 24 hours before hanging the razor to ensure maximum adhesion.

Operating Instructions
For best results and to minimize skin irritation, follow these steps:
- Wet your skin: Thoroughly wet the area you intend to shave with warm water to soften the hair.
- Apply shaving cream and lather up: Apply a generous amount of Gillette Intimate Pubic Shave Cream + Cleanser or your preferred shaving product to create a rich lather.
- Shave: Gently glide the razor over your skin in the direction of hair growth. The Flexball technology will help the razor adapt to your body's contours. Rinse the blades frequently during shaving to prevent clogging.
- Rinse: After shaving, rinse your skin thoroughly with cool water and pat dry.

Blade Replacement
For optimal shaving results and to prevent irritation, replace your razor blade cartridge when the lubrication strips fade or when you feel the blades becoming dull.
- To remove the old cartridge, press the release button located on the back of the razor head. The old cartridge will detach.
- To attach a new cartridge, align the razor handle with a new blade cartridge (from its dispenser) and push until it clicks into place. Do not touch the blades directly.
Note: While a video on blade replacement was identified, it was not provided by the official seller and therefore cannot be included in this manual. Please follow the written instructions carefully.
Maintenance and Care
- After each use, rinse the razor head thoroughly under running water to remove all hair and shaving cream. Do not tap the razor against the sink or wipe the blades, as this can damage them.
- Store the razor in a dry place, ideally on the provided shower hook, to allow it to air dry and prolong blade life.
- Keep extra blade cartridges in their original packaging in a dry environment until ready for use.
Troubleshooting
