stand provided to charge the razor.

Introduction
The NIVEA FOR MEN conditioner dispensing
system applies shaving conditioner directly on your
skin for a moisturizing and soothing shave. The
formula is enriched with vitamins and chamomile
to condition your skin for a healthy look.
The Glide Rings on the shaving heads distribute
the unique NIVEA FOR MEN shaving conditioner
evenly over the skin, offering an even smoother
and closer shave, causing less skin irritation and
leaving your skin feeling refreshed.
Before First Use

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
14 ENGLISH
purchase price as long as the request is
received within 45 days of purchase.
How To Shave With Razor
C ◗ This symbol on the razor indicates that the
razor can be used in the bath or shower.
◗ Make sure the power plug and charging stand
do not get wet or near water.

NIVEA FOR MEN shaving conditioner
(see ‘Charging’ & ‘Filling Razor Cartridge’
sections).
C 2 Remove Protective Razor Head Cap from
razor by sliding it off from the Razor Head
Assembly.
3 Wet your face and neck thoroughly with
warm water.

blade: you can use the razor on a wet face.
4 Turn razor ON by pressing the on/off
button once.

◗ If razor does not dispense shaving conditioner,
dried shaving conditioner may be blocking the
conditioner holes. Thoroughly clean razor (see
‘Cleaning’ section).
6 Gently move the shaving heads over your
skin. Shave against the direction of beard
growth using both straight and circular
motions.
This razor has no hair collection chamber to
capture stubble. To prevent stubble from falling,
apply sufficient shaving conditioner while shaving.
C 7 While shaving, press the shaving
conditioner button frequently to
apply more NIVEA FOR MEN shaving
conditioner so that the razor keeps gliding
smoothly over your face.
The shaving conditioner provides immediate
hydrating action and lessens drag or pull against
skin.

your skin so the floating heads can follow
the contours of your face. DO NOT press
too hard. Too much pressure can pinch the
skin into the combs.
◗ For best shaving results, shaving conditioner
should be applied frequently.

◗ Make sure shaving conditioner is always
released from both holes in the razor head
assembly. If not, thoroughly clean razor (see

used without shaving conditioner on a wet
face.
9 Turn razor off by pressing the on/off
button once.
10 Clean razor after EACH use (see ‘Cleaning’
section).

the razor when you store it to prevent
the shaving heads from getting damaged.
Replace Razor Head Assembly (model
HS85) once a year for optimal shaving
results.
12 You may store your razor in the charging
stand. Unplug from the outlet when
charging is complete.
