How to Clean and Maintain Your Electric Shaver the Right Way

A quality electric shaver can give you years of smooth, irritation-free grooming — but only if you maintain it. Dirt, dead skin, and stray hairs build up quickly and can dull blades, irritate your skin, and reduce performance.

Here’s how to clean and maintain your electric shaver so it lasts longer and works better.


🧼 Why Cleaning Your Shaver Matters

Even if you only shave once or twice a week, a dirty shaver can:

  • Cause skin irritation or breakouts
  • Lead to blade dullness and pulling
  • Allow bacteria to grow around sensitive areas

If you have sensitive skin, cleaning isn’t optional — it’s essential.


🧰 What You’ll Need

  • Small brush (often comes with the shaver)
  • A few drops of electric shaver oil
  • Optional: compressed air or a cleaning spray

🧽 Step-by-Step Cleaning Instructions

1. Turn off and unplug the shaver

Never clean while powered.

2. Remove the shaver head

Follow your model’s instructions to remove the foil or rotary blades.

3. Brush off hair and buildup

Use the included brush or a soft toothbrush to clean blades and interior housing.

4. Rinse (if waterproof)

If your shaver is waterproof, rinse under warm water. Otherwise, use a cleaning spray or cloth.

5. Apply blade oil

Add a few drops of Bare It All Shaver Oil to the blades to reduce friction, prevent rust, and restore smooth performance.

6. Let dry and reassemble

Allow all parts to fully dry before putting them back together.
