SHAVING TIPS

• The Remington Style Series R4 is waterproof. You may use shaving foam or gel with your shaver. You may also shave in the shower.

• Wait at least 15 minutes after getting up before shaving, to ensure your face is free of puffiness that may be present from sleeping.

• Always hold the shaver at a right angle to the skin so that all three heads are touching the skin with equal pressure.

• Stretch the skin with the freehand so hairs stand upright, making it easier for them to enter the cutting chamber.

• Use moderate to slow circular stroking movement.

• The use of short circular motions in stubborn areas may obtain a closer shave, especially along the neck and chin line.

• Do not press hard against the skin to avoid skin irritation and/or damage to the rotary heads.

• As with every shaver, your shave will improve over time. Allow up to four weeks of daily shaving to develop an effective shaving style and for your skin to adjust to the new shaver. The adaptation period might take a little longer if your skin is sensitive, if you are switching from a different method of shaving, or if you alternate between shaving methods.

TRIMMING

Pop-up Trimmer

1. Push trimmer release button to engage trimmer. 
2. Trim long, difficult hairs and side burns.

3.  Close trimmer by pressing down. 

   

Note: Lubricate teeth with oil every 6 months.

Stubble Styler

The Stubble Styler comb is designed to help you maintain a 3-day stubble look. Please be aware that you cannot shave a full long beard down to stubble length with the stubble styler.
To achieve the look

• Clean shave your face initially and then let your beard grow for two or three days.
• Attach the stubble styler to the cutting head of the shaver.
• Shave your face with slow, rotating motions.  The stubble guard will only trim hairs that are over 1.5 mm in length.
• Shave with the stubble styler at least every two days to maintain the length and do not allow hairs to get too long.
• Detach the stubble styler if you wish to have a clean shave look on your neck or other areas of your face where you do not want stubble showing.

Tips: Faster growing areas of your beard will begin to be trimmed first. Slower growing areas of your beard will fill in over a period of a few days or weeks.

REPLACING THE HEAD & CUTTERS
Please refer to the specifications' table on page 5 of this manual that lists the correct replacement part number for your shaver. It is very important to replace your head and cutters when necessary to ensure a close, comfortable shave without irritation. We recommend they be replaced every 6 months. Here are some signs of head and cutter wear, indicating that replacement is needed:

• Irritation: As the heads get excessively worn you may experience some skin irritation. This would be especially noticeable when you apply moisturizing lotion.
• Pulling: When the cutters wear you may feel a sense of pulling and a loss of closeness when you shave. This is an indication that it is time to replace your heads and cutters.

Replacement heads & cutters may be obtained from your local retailer, or directly from Remington. Simply fill out the enclosed accessory order form - refer to page 9 & 10, or alternatively your order can be processed over the phone via the Remington® Service Hotline.
