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 Norelco shaving system.

Norelco will refund you the full purchase price, guaranteed.
