Put ItToTheTest & ShavingTips
◗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.
