- Switch on the shaver.
-
- Move the shaver in circular movements over your skin to catch hair growing in all directions. Make sure each shaving head is fully in contact with the skin. Exert gentle pressure for a close, comfortable shave.
-
- Note: You can attach the protective cap onto the bottom of the shaver for better grip during shaving.
- Note: Do not press too hard, as this can cause skin irritation.

- 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.
- 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.
