How to Use:

To charge the shaver, switch it off and place it in a secure and stable position. Connect the socket end of the charging cord into the charging port in the shaver, and connect the plug to a standard AC outlet. The indicator light on the shaver will turn red when charging.
To fully charge the shaver, you’ll need to leave it charging for 8-10 hours, which will give you 30 minutes of usage time. Over time, the usage time may decrease, so keep this in mind.
Don’t overcharge the shaver, as this can damage the battery life. Make sure the device is powered off before plugging in the charging cord, and don’t use the shaver while it’s charging.
To clean, make sure the power is off, and don’t submerge the device completely. Pull the blade assembly from the unit and rinse it under running water. After cleaning, wipe it clean with a soft, dry cloth.
For peak performance, lightly oil the shaving head from time to time by spreading a drop of mineral oil over the foil and trimmers.

Tips and Tricks:

If you’re new to using a women’s shaver, start with a lower setting and work your way up to a higher setting as you get more comfortable.
Use a gentle touch when shaving, and avoid pressing too hard against your skin.
To get a closer shave, shave against the grain of your hair growth. However, this can increase the risk of irritation or ingrown hairs, so use caution.
Clean the shaver regularly to ensure it stays in good condition and provides the best results.
Use the shaver in a circular motion to get a closer shave. This is especially helpful for areas like the bikini line or underarms where hair grows in multiple directions.
Don’t forget to exfoliate your skin before shaving. This helps to remove dead skin cells and prepare your skin for a smoother, closer shave.
To prevent ingrown hairs, use a gentle exfoliating scrub regularly and avoid shaving too close to the skin. You can also use a post-shave lotion or serum that contains salicylic acid to help prevent ingrown hairs.
If you’re using the shaver on your legs, start at your ankles and work your way up. This helps to prevent missing any spots and ensures an even shave.
