How to Shave With a Braun

Say goodbye to facial hair.

Braun produces electric shavers that promise to give you smoothness, a close shave and convenience. As of June 2010, Braun offers five models, and all of them are equipped with advanced shaving technology. If you're a razor-and-shaving-cream kind of man, these devices can seem intimidating. Don't let that stop you from trying these babies, though. They're actually pretty easy to use and maintain. You might actually like them and let them replace your razors one day.

Instructions

1. Check the cord and plug for any damage. Bring the appliance to a repair center if there's any damage and don't use it.

2. Plug the cable to the shaver, and then to an electrical outlet to charge it. Make sure it doesn't come into contact with water.

3. Check the battery of the shaver. You may not need it to be fully charged to use it; this depends on how long your facial hair is and how much time you need to shave.

4. Press the on/off switch to turn on the shaver. Play with different settings until you find one that you like best.

5. Press the head of the shaver against your skin and run it along the area you want to shave. Some models have pivoting heads that automatically follow the contour of your skin for a closer shave.

6. Press the on/off button again when you are finished. Detach the device from the electrical outlet.

7. Clean the shaver regularly. Depending on the model, you may be able to simply clean it under running water. Some models have the Clean & Renew technology that automatically cleans and lubricates the shaver at the push of a button.

8. Store the shaver in a clean, dry place that is not exposed to extreme temperatures.
