FAQs

How often should I replace the razor blades?

Replace the blades when they feel dull or after about 5-10 shaves, depending on usage and hair type.

Can I use this razor without shaving cream?

While the razor has a moisture strip, shaving cream is recommended for the best results and to minimize skin irritation.

What is the FlexiBall technology?

The FlexiBall technology allows the razor head to pivot and adapt to body contours, providing a closer and more comfortable shave.

Is this razor suitable for sensitive skin?

It can be suitable for sensitive skin if used with a gentle shaving cream and proper technique. However, individual results may vary.

How do I clean the razor?

Rinse the razor thoroughly under warm running water after each use. Avoid tapping the blades, which can damage them. Store in a dry place.

Where can I buy replacement blades?

Replacement blades are widely available at most drugstores, supermarkets, and online retailers.

Troubleshooting

Razor feels like it's pulling or not gliding smoothly.

Replace the blade cartridge. It may be dull or clogged with hair or shaving cream.

Experiencing skin irritation or redness after shaving.

Ensure you are using a sharp blade and shaving with a good quality shaving cream. Consider shaving in the direction of hair growth and avoid excessive pressure. Apply a soothing lotion afterward.

Razor head is not pivoting freely.

Rinse the razor head under warm water to remove any buildup that may be interfering with the movement of the FlexiBall technology.
