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 razor 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 razor.
◗ 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.
