Stubble Look
The stubble attachment comb is designed to help you grow and maintain a 3-day stubble look. Be aware that you cannot shave a full long beard down to stubble length with the stubble attachment.
To achieve the look:
- Clean shave your face initially and then let your beard grow for two or three days.
- Attach the stubble attachment to the cutting head of the shaver.
- Shave your face with slow, rotating motions. The stubble attachment will only trim hairs that are over 1.5 mm in length. Use light pressure while shaving for even results.
- Shave with the stubble attachment at least every two days to maintain the length and do not allow hairs to get too long.
Detach the stubble attachment if you wish to have a clean shaven look on your neck or other areas of your face where you do not want stubble showing.
Tips:
- Faster growing areas of your beard will be trimmed first. Slower growing areas of your beard will fill in over a period of a few days or weeks.
Cleaning and Care
Your shaver may be cleaned under warm water.
NOTE: When cleaning your shaver, make sure the shaver is turned off and disconnected from the power cord.
CAUTION! • To clean the external surfaces of the shaver, use a damp cloth. Do not use strong detergents or other chemicals. • To dry, wipe the surface of the shaver with a dry towel. Do not use a hair dryer or heater to dry the shaver.

It is very important to replace your head and cutters when necessary to ensure a close, comfortable shave without irritation. We recommend they be replaced every 12 months. Here are some signs of head and cutter wear, indicating that replacement is needed:
- Irritation: As the heads get excessively worn you may experience some skin irritation. This would be especially noticeable when you apply moisturizing lotion.
- Pulling: When the cutters wear you may feel a sense of pulling and a loss of closeness when you shave. This is an indication that it is time to replace your heads and cutters.
