IMPORTANT  
Invest two weeks for the shave of a lifetime!  
The Norelco Advantage Razor with the patented  
Lift and Cut® System is unlike any other shaving  
system you’ve ever tried.The unique application of  
Nivea for Men shaving lotion over the razor heads  
and face as you shave sets your beard up to give  
you a close, comfortable shave while leaving your  
face feeling cool and refreshed. This system is so  
different, that it can take your skin and beard a little  
time to adapt. But it’s an investment worth making.  
Use your new razor exclusively for 2 weeks  
to fully enjoy the performance and comfort  
of a Norelco shave.  
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.  
Your Norelco Advantage Razor features a special  
compartment for cartridges containing Nivea for  
Men shaving lotion. This unique lotion is applied to  
your skin while you’re shaving to offer you the  
most comfortable, smoothest shaving experience  
ever from Norelco. This continuous moisturizing  
prepares the skin, sets up your beard and ensures  
that the razor moves smoothly over the skin, offer-  
ing optimal skin contact.
