For optimal results, use circular motions with the rotary shaving heads. The 360° Precision Flexing Heads adapt to your facial contours, ensuring constant skin contact.
SenseIQ Technology & Pressure Guidance
The shaver features SenseIQ Technology with a Live-Action Pressure Light Sensor. This ring around the shaving head changes color to indicate the pressure you are applying:
