Body Grooming Tutorial

Armed with the right tools, like the All Purpose Gillette STYLER, grooming your body hair is pretty simple. Follow these steps to get great results, every time:

Step 1

Select a fixed comb lengthThe right comb length on your body hair trimmer can help you tame full, natural growth that hasn’t been touched by a razor for a while – or ever. The All Purpose Gillette STYLER comes with three comb attachments (2mm, 4mm, 6mm) for you to choose from.

Step 2

TrimTrim your body hair. Trimming the hair before shaving can help prevent clogged blades.

Step 3

ShowerThe water will help soften your body hair (which can be wiry) and make it easier for the razor to glide over your skin. Gillette STYLER is waterproof so you can trim in the shower.

Step 6

Shave with Light, Gentle StrokesAttach a Fusion5 blade to your STYLER. Shave with light, gentle strokes, rinsing often, and with the skin pulled taut.

Step 7

Rinse Your Blades OftenRun the blades gently under the tap every few strokes, both the back and front sides of the blades, and then gently shake excess water off. Do not tap your razor against the sink or wipe against a towel; these habits can reduce the life of the razor by affecting the intricate design of the blade components. Rinsing the blades under running water helps to remove built-up shaving gel, hair, and dead skin.

Step 8

Re-apply Shave Gel As NeededYou may find that you need to shave over the same spot in different directions to get a smooth shave. In order to help prevent shaving rash on your body, ensure that you reapply shave gel before you re-stroke.
