Consider this article as a shaving-best-practices template for your Norelco electric shaver.

Things You'll Need

• Warm water
• Hand towel
• Norelco electric shaver
• Running water (for cleaning the cutting heads)
• Recharger
• Aftershave lotion

Instructions

1. Rinse your face off well with warm water. Towel-dry your face with a hand towel. Electric shavers do a better job when your face is clean.

2. Turn the electric razor on and begin shaving against the direction of hair growth, moving the shaving head linearly and in circles. Stretch the skin with your other hand to make the hair stand up straighter so the razor blades shave closer.

3. Turn the electric shaver off by pushing on the on/off button. Turn a water faucet on and place the razor heads under the water to rinse the cutting heads. Norelco electric shavers have to be cleaned after each use.

4. Slide the razor head cap over the cutting heads to protect them when the shaver is not in use.

5. Recharge the electric shaver after every ten uses (every ten days).

6. Apply your favorite aftershave lotion after each shave to reduce the effects of razor burn.

Tips & Warnings

• Norelco electric razors only need to charge for eight hours at a time.
