■ 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
foil has been replaced.
■ For wet shaving, you
may wish to prepare
your skin with soap or
shaving cream before
shaving.

ni line, it is not neces-
sary to press hard to get

based lotions immedi-
ately before or after
shaving. You may, how-
ever, want to use talcum
powder.
