If you are completely new to using an electric head shaver, then it will take a few goes before you feel comfortable with it! Our advice is to dry shave with hair that's not longer than 3-4 days. Take it slow, allow your shaver to move in circular motions and also back & forth. And just simply work your way from one ear side to the other. Thereafter, get in the habit of a daily head shave. It takes 90 seconds, and you'll always be ready to go out!
