How do I use my OneBlade on my body?

Shaving with the sensitive skin guard
When trimming and shaving your sensitive areas, ensure that you clean your hair before you begin. The sensitive skin guard allows for a close shave while protecting your skin from nicks and cuts. Always use a sensitive skin guard when shaving intimate and sensitive areas such as armpits.
To use the sensitive skin guard, follow the instructions below:
1. Attach the sensitive skin guard to the blade of your device, applying gentle pressure until it clicks into place.
2. Make smooth, steady movements with your OneBlade. Move the shaver back and forth to ensure that you catch the hair growing in different directions. When needed, stretch the skin with your free hand to shave wrinkly areas, such as the scrotum.
3. When your shave is complete, remove the attachment from the appliance. Rinse off and clean both the attachment and your OneBlade with lukewarm water.

Shaving with the body comb
The body comb trims your body hair to a length of 5mm (3/16 in). For hygienic reasons, do not use the same comb on your face and other part of your body.
To use the body comb, follow the instructions below:
1. Attach the body comb to the blade of your OneBlade, applying gentle pressure until it clicks into place.
2. Shave with the body comb attached. Cut against the direction of hair growth for the best performance.
3. When your shave is complete, remove the attachment from the appliance. Rinse off and clean both the attachment and your OneBlade with lukewarm water.

Shaving with the skin protect attachment
The skin protect attachment allows for a close shave while protecting your intimate area from nicks and cuts.
Shaving advice for men: When you shave your scrotum, make sure that you stretch your skin so that the blade cannot come into contact with the flexible skin.
Shaving advice for women: When you shave the inside of your outer labia, make sure that you stretch the outer labia so that the blade cannot come into contact with the inner labia. Protect your inner labia with your free hand.
Follow the steps below to shave using the skin protect attachment:
1. Attach the skin protect attachment to the blade.
2. Press the power button to turn on the device.
3. With your free hand, pull a small skin area with two fingers to stretch the skin and make the hairs stand upright. Only place the blade on completely stretched-out skin.
4. Place your blade flat onto the skin at a 90 degree angle. Ensure that the blade is in complete contact with the skin.
5. Move the appliance slowly with light pressure against the direction of hair growth. As you continue, ensure that your skin remains stretched for the duration of your shave.
Once you have finished shaving, switch off the device and thoroughly clean it.
