Customer Reviews of Philips Norelco 8060X Moisturizing Shaving System
Customer Review: What a Pleasant Surprise!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought the first edition of the Norelco Cool Skin/Advantage shavers back in 1999. I loved it for the convenience of being able to shave wet or dry, as well as being able to shave in the shower or bath tub. The ability to dispense lotion directly from the shaver was also a nice feature, eliminating the need to have a separate dispenser of shaving cream or gel. I bought another Cool Skin in 2004 (model 7775X). I found these shavers delivered a very smooth, comfortable shave on my tender skin. But the shave wasn't as close as a foil shaver, and it took longer to shave. So I also bought a Braun for occasions when I wanted a faster and really close (though somewhat more irritating) shave.
Three weeks ago I purchased the 8060x without any expectations of a major improvement. What a pleasant surprise! This shaver is much better than my 2004 model, and eliminates the need for a foil shaver.
I like its form factor - it's a bit lighter than my 7775X, and its smaller size makes it easier to hold and manipulate. The older Norelco had to be held in my fist - the newer model can be comfortably held in my fingers.
The protective cap for the shaving heads is much improved - it is less likey to be dislodged than was the case with older models.
The redesigned head makes it much easier to shave in hard to reach places, notably the neck and below the nose. And if you're troubled by hair growing out of your ears (Norelco calls this "second puberty"), the heads do a decent job of reaching this area.
Compared to my Braun (and a new Panasonic a friend loaned me), it still takes longer to shave with the 8060x, but the shave is now as close. "Close" means 24 hours after you shave. Foil shavers seem to cut the hairs further below the skin than rotary shavers, so 24 hours later you will have more growth from a rotary shave than a foil shave. Not so with the new Norelco - it now shaves as close, with far less irritation.
Shaving is pure pleasure with the Nivea lotion. Remember to wet your face first, and when things start to drag, using a bit more water, as well as Nivea, keeps things moving smoothly along. Other reviewers have noted the absence of a chamber to catch cut hairs, and as Norelco points out, Nivea is the key to keeping cuttings in place until the shaver is cleaned.
Cleaning the heads is easy. Just keep the shaver running under a tap of hot water for 30 seconds.
I love the convenience of the 8060x's charging stand. Having lotion automatically dispensed into the shaver is a real luxury. Also nice is having lotion electronically dispensed to your face, eliminating the need to repeatedly press the dispensing button on older models. Not to mention having to fuss with the Nivea cartridges used in older models.
This is also a very quiet shaver. My Braun sounds like a buzz saw, and my friend's Panasonic sounded like a dentist's drill. My 7775X is quieter than the first two, but 8060X is so quiet you may not even know it's on!
Negatives? Having to detach the cutting heads and replace them with the trimmer is inconvenient - many foil shavers let you simply flip up the trimmer. But this is a design issue that I suspect is not easily overcome with a triple head rotary shaver.
Overall, I am delighted with this shaver, and am awarding it 5 stars. My older Norelco and Braun are being retired.
