Yes, shavers are powerful, fast, and give an incredibly close shave. But if you don't take care of them, they'll last less, overheat, irritate your skin, and stop shaving like new.
Here's a simple guide to make your shaver last longer and perform better:
🧴 1. Quick cleaning: after each use
-
Carefully remove the head (foils). Don't force it.
-
Gently shake out accumulated hairs or use a small brush.
-
Do not use water if your shaver is not waterproof.
-
If it is waterproof: you can rinse the head and let it air dry.
🔁 This will take you no more than 1 minute and makes a big difference.
🌬️ 2. Disinfectant spray: 2 or 3 times a week
🔥 Use Hardel's 6-in-1 Spray
-
Apply specific disinfectant spray for foils (like Cool Care or similar).
-
Spray from a distance of 10–15 cm onto the foils.
-
Let it dry before storing or using it again.
🧠 This kills bacteria, prevents bad odors, and takes care of your skin.
🛠️ 3. Deep cleaning: 1 time per week
-
Completely remove the head (foils and internal blades).
-
Clean the inside with a brush, or compressed air.
-
Check that there are no compacted hair residues or accumulated grease.
💡 Tip: if your shaver includes automatic lubrication, clean it but do not add extra oil.
🛢️ 4. Lubrication (if not self-lubricating): 1–2 times a week
🔥 Use JRL lubricating oil
-
Apply one drop of specific oil to the internal blades (not the foil).
-
Turn on the machine for a few seconds to distribute the oil well.
-
Wipe off any excess with a cloth.
💥 This reduces heat and extends the life of the head.
🚨 5. When to change the head
-
If you notice that the shave is getting worse, the foil is broken, or it irritates you, it's time for a replacement!
-
For intensive use: every 3–6 months.
-
For occasional use: up to 9–12 months if you take good care of it.
