Troubleshooting
Razor not rinsing clean
Rinse the blades under strong running water after each stroke to dislodge hair and residue. Ensure water pressure is adequate.
Gel reservoir depleted quickly
Reduce the amount of water exposure to the gel reservoir when not actively shaving. Avoid prolonged soaking.
Irritation or razor burn
Ensure the blades are sharp and replaced regularly. Use a quality shaving cream or gel. Shave with the grain of your hair. Ensure the dual lubrication system is functioning by rinsing the blade head.
