You are going to rub this thing on your face pretty regularly, so you want to (a) disinfect and (b) lubricate it, so you don't irritate your face. I get a nasty rash if I get lazy and don't clean it.

You can rinse it off with some alcohol when you are done, and run the blades for a few seconds, or get something like this:



...which has alcohol, a little oil, and comes in a pressurized can, so you can use it to blow through the screen and blow off the blades. I usually do that last thing in the bathroom while the fan is running to minimize breathing it in.

It will keep it running well, avoid corrosion, and reduce skin irritation.

I did once have an issue with the trimmer blade, which can be -carefully- disassembled and reassembled.

Keep the clear plastic lid on it when not in use. It has saved the unit several times.
