Customer Reviews of Philips Norelco 8060X Moisturizing Shaving System
Customer Review: Shaver 5 Stars - Trimmer 1 Star
Summary: 4 Stars
The Philips Norelco 8060X moisturizing shaving system has the potential to be the best shaver I have ever owned. Certainly it still has to pass the test of time which to this point has only been a little less than three months. The 8060X gives a close, comfortable shave particularly when you press the blue button to apply Nivea shaving conditioner to your face directly through two holes in the center of two of the three shaving heads. There is a small reservoir in the shaver which can be filled automatically with conditioner from the Nivea bottle while the unit is charging. I have already learned to scale back my use of this conditioner to only a couple of pumps for each shave, which hopefully will allow one to get many shaves from a bottle of conditioner - I have yet to use up one bottle. If you overuse the conditioner, it can get expensive. The shaving conditioner delivery system is great and makes for a comfortable shaving experience. The pivoting blades are very good, but the trimmer is awkward to use and not nearly as good as what many other shavers have. You have to mount the trimmer in place of the main shaving heads on the shaver. In my opinion the trimmer is too small and operates too slowly to be effective - it appears to be a poor aferthought. Underarm shaving is not good with any part of this system, but maybe it wasn't meant to be. This shaver excels in convex facial skin areas, but not concave underarm areas at least for this user.Customer Review: I will never use a dry shaver again.
Summary: 4 Stars
For the past 4 years, I was using an expensive Braun dry shaver and not getting a close shave. Two months ago, I switched back to the old manual razor. I was surprised at how expensive blades had become, and how much slower a razor shave is. Especially shaving around the throat. I then saw this on the lightning deal, and was curious how a wet shaver would work. I gave it a try. The shave is very comfortable, and very close. It really matches the razor blade shave, but is much more comfortable. I only gave it 4 stars, because the conditioner that is automatically loaded into the razor during the charge, doesn't last long at all. One reviewer wrote that he uses regular shave gel. I have a lot of very old cans of Gillette foamy Gel. I used that as if I was using a razor. It works great. Just rinse it off the shaver during shaving and after you finish, while the power is on. Since this shaver is made to use in the shower, using regular shave cream and rinsing the shaver doesn't cause any problem. Given the price of razor blades, it won't bother me to spend $30 for replacement blades when needed. I love this shaver, and feel badly that I couldn't give it 5 stars. Buy the shaver, then using the much cheaper gel that you slap on your face.Customer Review: High quality razor
Summary: 4 Stars
I have a difficult time shaving so after reading the reviews I ordered this. I found the entire system to be durable and high quality. I used the razor for two months. The shave was close but not as close as a mach 3. The instructions say that with time the shave will get closer. After a couple of months, it started leaving cuts on my neck and my face felt uncomfortable when finished. I ended up going back to a mach 3 but miss the ease of the norelco. I have thick facial hair that has always been hard to shave. I think that it would do a good job for someone who doesn't have as such thick facial hair.Customer Review: Smooth look afterwards
Summary: 4 Stars
I really liked the Philips Norelco 8060X Moisturizing Shaving System as I had heard lots of good things about it. I got it for my husband for his birthday and he too liked it.
The best part is that there is no mess after he is done shaving and leaves his skin smooth and smelling nice. He doesn't have to worry about carrying shaving lotion as it is stored in the razor itself so its convenient for when he is traveling.
I would recommend Philips Norelco 8060X Moisturizing Shaving System to everyone. My husband really likes it.

I bought this electric razor for my husband for Christmas. He has a very heavy beard and at the end of each day has a five o'clock shadow. He had to get use to using an electric razor but was impressed with the moisturizing cream which helped in getting a close shave without razor burn. The only issue he had with this product was getting a real close shave under his chin, neck area. Evidently the hair growth is different than on the face. He has to repeat the area to get all the hairs under his chin and neck.
