Shaving
You can use this product either wet or dry, or even in the shower. For a
wet shave, apply some water and shaving foam or gel to your skin and rinse the
shaving heads under the tap with warm water before following the steps below.
- Switch on the product.
- Move the shaving heads over your skin in circular movements to catch all hairs growing in different directions. Make sure each shaving head is fully in contact with the skin. Exert gentle pressure for a close, comfortable shave.
- Note: Do not press too hard, as this can cause skin irritation.
- Note: If you are shaving with gel or foam, rinse the shaving unit regularly during your shave to ensure that it continues to glide smoothly over your skin.
- Use the narrow sides of the shaving unit to shave in hard-to-reach areas such as along your jawline and under your nose.
- Switch off and clean the product after each use.
Note: Make sure you rinse all foam or shaving gel off the product.
21-Day adaptation process
- 21-Day Trial and Conversion Process. It is a fact that your skin and beard need time to adjust to a new grooming system.
- Use your new shaver 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 shaver.
- 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.
- If you are still not convinced after 21 days, Philips Norelco will refund you the full purchase price as long as the request is received within 45 days of purchase.
