■ Before using, check foil
for wear or damage. If
foil shows signs of wear
or damage, do not use
shaver as injury may
occur. Do not use until

■ For wet shaving, you
may wish to prepare
your skin with soap or

sary to press hard to get
a close shave. Pressing
too hard may cause skin
irritation, and razor will
not function properly. In

ever, want to use talcum
powder.

following MAINTE-
NANCE instructions.
■ Do not submerge Razor
in water for extended
periods of time.
■ To keep Razor water-
resistant, keep the rub-
ber sealing ring in bat-

you may want to apply a
thin coating of petrole-
um jelly to ring to keep
it from drying out.
