Put it to the test & shaving tips
- 21 Day Trial and Conversion Process. It is a fact
that your skin and beard need time to adjust to
a new shaving 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.
