Is this shaver suitable for head shaving?
Yes, while primarily designed for facial hair, the Philips Shaver Series 3000 is also suitable for head shaving.
Does it come with a charging adapter?
The shaver comes with a USB-A charging cable. You will need to use your own USB power adapter (like those for smartphones) to plug it into a wall outlet.
What is the warranty for this product?

Troubleshooting
Shaver will not turn on or operate.
Ensure the shaver is fully charged. Connect it to the charger and wait for the battery indicator to show sufficient charge. If completely drained, a 5-minute quick charge should provide enough power for one shave. Check that the power outlet or USB adapter is functional.
Poor shaving performance, pulling hair, or not cutting effectively.
Make sure the shaver is fully charged. A low battery can lead to reduced power. Clean the shaver head thoroughly as hair clippings can impede blade movement. If the shaver has been used for more than 2 years, the blades may need replacement even though they are self-sharpening.
Skin irritation or redness after shaving.
Try shaving with foam or gel, especially if you have sensitive skin, as the wet shave option provides extra lubrication. Ensure the shaver head is clean before use. Use light pressure and move the shaver in small, circular motions. Give your skin a few weeks to adapt if you are new to electric shaving.
