Put ItToTheTest & ShavingTips
◗ 21 DayTrial and Conversion Process.It is a fact
that your skin and beard need time to adjust to
a new shaving system.
◗ Use your new razor exclusively for 3 weeks to
fully enjoy the closeness of a Philips Norelco
shave.
◗ At first you may not get as close a shave as
you expect, or your face may even become
slightly irritated.This is normal since your
beard and skin will need time to adjust. Invest
3 weeks and you’ll soon experience the full
joy of your new razor.
◗ Stick with it! If you alternate shaving methods
during the adjustment period,it may make it
more difficult to adapt to the Philips Norelco
shaving system.
Stretch your skin with your free hand so
blades can lift and cut whiskers. Gently
press razor to skin so the floating heads can
follow the contours of your face. DO NOT
press too hard.Too much pressure can
pinch the skin into the combs.
Turn razor OFF by pressing the on/off
button once.
The green light ring around the on/off button goes
OFF.
