You should not overcharge the razor to prevent its battery from being damaged. Secondly, plug it into the charger while the battery is too low and don’t use it.

A few Phillips razors or shavers have a travel lock function. And if this function is activated, the razor will not turn on. So, you should ensure the travel lock instead of charging if the razor is not turning on.

To deactivate this feature, you should press the power button for 3-5 seconds, and this feature will be deactivated. And then try to turn it back on.

Lithium-ion batteries can be damaged because of overcharging. So, it is not best to overcharge your Philips razor for a long time. It will decrease its battery life, and the razor will start draining quickly.
