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.
◗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.
