How to use

Wet the skin and apply a suitable shaving gel, cream or foam to soften hair and prepare the skin. Hold the razor at a shallow angle and use short, controlled strokes following hair growth for the first pass, then, if needed, shave gently across or against the grain for a closer finish. Rinse the cartridge under running water after every few strokes to clear hairs and shaving product. Replace the cartridge when you notice reduced glide, tugging, or visible blade wear to maintain performance and minimise skin irritation.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use the Hydro Silk with a compatible shaving gel or cream and replace cartridges regularly. Store the razor and spare cartridges in a dry place between uses to prolong blade life and preserve hygiene.
