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 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.

12
* Stick with it! If you alternate shaving methods
during the adjustment period,it may make it more
difficult to adapt to the Norelco shaving system. If
you are still not convinced after 21 days,Norelco
will refund you the full purchase price,guaranteed.
HOWTO SHAVEWITH AN ELECTRIC RAZOR
Shaving with a clean,dry face gives the best results.
1Turn razor ON.Shave against the direction of beard
growth using both straight and circular movements.
2Stretch 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.
3Turn razor OFF.
4Put the protective razor head cap on the razor
toprotect razor heads.
Replace QuadraAction razor heads (model # HQ6)
once a year for optimal shaving results.

heads is to rinse them every week with hot water.

CLEANING
Once A Month: Razor Heads

weeks before optimal shaving performance is restored.

way that the sides with the little holes point to the
middle of the shaving unit.

exactly into the recesses.
