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 any 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 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.

C 7 Remove and clean one cutter and comb at
a time.

combs should be cleaned in a degreasing liquid

model HQ110 or alcohol). This helps prevent wear
of the shaving heads.

Razor Head Assembly.
