Advantages: Easy to refill and recharge, Fast Charge, Long lasting battery Disadvantages: None
I have always wet shaved and I have 5 different razors ranging from 2 blades to 5 blades at varying price levels and I have always found the 5 blade to shave the closest with the least irritation.
I stopped wet shaving about 3 months ago when on holiday with my family, my granddad mentioned using electric shavers and said that he finds it a lot better than wet shaving. I was given a rubbish electric razor a few years ago and as my hair wasn't the ... ...it just glided over the top of the hair. For the last 3 months that same razor has been working well and has done quite a good job. It got to December and my mum asked me if I wanted a new shaver as a gift for Christmas, I browsed the net and Amazon had good savings on their mens grooming products. One offer caught my attention the most, this was the Phillips Nivea Coolskin HS8060, RRP of Ģ150 down to Ģ60. This razor comes with a charging/refilling ...

Advantages: Easy clean. Close shave. Use in shower. Good battery life. Built-in Nivea dispenser Disadvantages: Doesn't catch all stubble straight away
...and because I trust the Philips brand. I also liked that it was very easy to clean: you just have to run it under a tap, whereas other razors are a bit more tricky. It also looks quite sporty and can be used in the shower as it's completely waterproof.
The first use was brilliant. It was clean and so much closer than I imagined it would be. It almost felt closer than a wet shave. Subsequent shaves have slowed down a bit and I find that I have to ... ...to get rid of all the stubble. Consequently I find that shaving with this takes me longer than a manual shave. I find this a little annoying but I'm sticking with it for now.
At the end of the shave, I end up with a close shave and my skin feels a lot more protected since several layers have not been taken off, as they are with a manual razor. However, because I have to keep going over the same areas of skin to get rid of all the stubble (it doesn't ...

Advantages: Nivea gel provides less irratation, Great battery life, Very close shave Disadvantages: No built in trimmer, Travel pouch could have been better, Charging stand is large
...the travelling pouch, the old philips nivea razors came with a nice zip travel pouch. This one is a kind of wrap around effort that you wrap around the razor and accessories and close it with velcro a slight disappointment. All in all a good razor and i would recommend it to anyone. ...

Advantages: Very good for sensitive skin Disadvantages: Expensive
...is a new shaver by philips that works in combination with nivea for men shaving conditioner.
With the shaver you recieve a botle of the conditioner, a stand charger, a fine trimmer attatchment for sideburns and the like, a soft carrycase, a cover and a small brush to keep it clean! This shaver has a section in the back that carries the nivea moisturiser, during shaving you can press a button to release some of this moisturiser out of the heads ontop ... ...perfect for sensitive skin. Sometimes electric shavers can pull the hairs out of your skin and you are left with a rash and spots. The experiance of a shave with this item is great. The design is very ergonomical and fits in your hand very sweetly. The head itself has what I like to think of as suspension. This means it tracks the contours of your face making everything much smoother! This model comes with a stand that automatically refills the back ...

...box. This is the only Philips shaver (I've only ever bought Philips shavers) that hasn't given me a 100% painless, quick and easy shave. For my face. I bought this shaver in boots about a month or so ago, it was on a 1/2 price offer for about Ģ65.
Few point of interest, the shaver itself doesn't hold very much actual shaving conditioner. But then, I'm not really used to using this stuff, so maybe I was wanting to use too much.. but it seemed to ... ...shave.
Shaving performance-wise, it's hard to give this shaver more than 8 out of 10. I found that I had to track over many times to remove all stubble.. looking at the foils, it looks like there is only one set of slots, which feels like a step backwards for shaving technology. Also, I found that the head is actually quite painful to use, even dry; it sometims feels like it's pulling out hairs rather than cutting them.
In use, after sticking at ...

Review of Philips HS 8060 Moisturizing /COOL SKIN
Advantages: easy to use, very quick and has dispenceable shaving conditioner (if you like it) Disadvantages: very big charger, extremly expensive others are better and cheaper
It is such a big advantage to go from messy time wasting in the morning with a conventional razor to something that creates no mess and only takes 1-2 minutes to use. The three pivoting heads is also a good feature as it makes it easy around the chin area and on the neck. However you do have to press down if you want to remove all the stubble in one go, and can be quite a pain as it has a removable and changable head to a trimmer that sometimes falls ... ...However the dispencing charger unit is very big. But you can use the charger in which it only has a charging stand and no dispencer which is very small. Some people may disagree but I do feel that the shaving conditioner that comes out the head is a waste of time and probably only add to the expense. ...
