Reattach the shaving unit and shake off excess water.
Be careful not to hit the shaving unit against anything while shaking off excess water.

Extra-thorough Cleaning Method

- Clean the inside and outside of the comb by rinsing under hot water.
- For optimum performance, shaver cutters and combs should be cleaned in a degreasing liquid (e.g., alcohol) and lubricated with one drop of mineral oil (in the center of the head). This helps prevent wear of the shaving heads.

- Repeat the process for the other two sets of cutters and combs.

Reattach the shaving unit and shake excess water off the shaver.
