NOTE REGARDING FOIL SHAVERS:
Please keep in mind that foil shavers (either double foil or single foil shavers) are not intended to shave hairs that have very fine curls or that are medium or long length. Such hairs will simply be pressed down flat against the skin by the foil shaver and will not enter the foil holes to be properly cut. Foil shavers work best on very short straight stubble hair or freshly trimmed hair by a hair trimmer, because such stubble hair "sticks up" straight and naturally enters the foil holes as intended.
Here are some helpful tips to reduce sensitivity and to optimize results when using an electric foil shaver:
Preparation
• Clean and Dry Skin: Electric foil shavers work best on dry skin. Wash your face with warm water to remove oils and dirt, then pat dry.
• Very Short & Straight Stubble: Electric foil shavers work best on short stubble hair that sticks up straight so that it can easily enter the holes of the foil. Foil shavers to not work well on fine curled hair or hair that is too long and is pushed flat against the skin.
• Pre-Shave Lotion or Powder: Some people use a pre-shave lotion or powder specifically for electric shavers, which helps reduce friction, allowing for a smoother glide and less irritation. (We do not sell these at this time)
Shaving Technique
• Go Against the Grain: Foil shavers are designed to capture hair better when moving against the grain, so use short, straight strokes against the direction of hair growth.
• Apply Gentle Pressure: Light pressure is key. Pressing too hard can cause irritation and dull the blades more quickly. Let the shaver do the work.
• Stretch the Skin: Use your free hand to gently stretch the skin in the area you're shaving. This helps lift the hair and allows for a closer shave.
• Shave Sensitive Areas Last
Aftercare
• Rinse and Moisturize: Rinse your face with cool water to close the pores and apply a gentle, alcohol-free moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated and reduce post-shave irritation.
