Amazon.com Product Description
Philips Norelco Moisturizing Shaving System: The Future is Closer than You Think
Nivea For Men Conditioner Dispensing System
Nivea for Men shaving conditioner is dispensed directly onto your skin for a moisturizing and soothing shave. The formula is enriched with vitamins and chamomile to condition your skin and support a healthy look.
Improved Nivea for Men Shaving Conditioner
The new line of Philips Norelco Cool Skin shavers comes with an improved Nivea for Men Shaving Conditioner that makes shaving even more comfortable and less irritating for your skin. The Lift & Cut system has been improved so that the appliance gives an even closer shave. Thanks to its new design, the shaver fits more comfortably in your hand, while new features make it easier to clean.

Flex Tracker System
The unique Flex Tracker System closely follows the contours of your face, giving you a smooth and perfect shave. The flexing action ensures that the blades are aligned with your skin to allow hairs to be cut exceptionally closer to the skin. Thus you can enjoy a remarkably smooth and fresh look.

Glide Rings
The shaving heads have unique Glide Rings to help the shaver move smoothly over your face.

Integrated Cartridge Refill System
You can Simply pump the Nivea for Men shaving conditioner from the refill can directly into the Cool Skin shaver. Philips Norelco HS8060 Nivea Moisturizing Shaving System gives you the advantage of saving you time and energy by not applying any moisturizer on your face prior to the shave. Just wet your face before you start shaving then press the shaving conditioner button until a sufficient amount of shaving conditioner has been released. Each refill bottle of Nivea for Men shaving conditioner lasts up to three months under regular use conditions.

Super Lift & Cut System
The Moisturizing Shaving System is equipped with a dual blade system to give you an ultra close shave. The advantage of having two blades is that you enjoy a comfortable and soothing shave. The Lift & Cut system is designed so the first blade lifts and the second blade cuts for a comfortable close shave.

Easy Grip for Total Control
Specifically designed for the difficult curves on the face, the Philips Norelco 8060 Nivea Moisturizing Shaving System is an ideal solution for perfect grip and optimal handling. The perfect grip ensures that you enjoy the ultimate comfort and easy shave.

Wet Use--Waterproof Shaver
Shaving in the shower saves time and gives you the fresh sensation of wet shaving. The Philips Norelco 8060 is a washable so it is very easy to keep it clean and hygienic with a simple rinse under the tap. It also includes a cleaning brush to remove small hairs.

What's in the Box
Precision tube trimmer, charging stand, power plug, travel pouch, protection cap, quick start leaflet, shaving conditioner refill can (75 ml), and refill and charge stand.

2 out of 5 stars Not as good as the old Advantage   October 10, 2008
I'm a long-time blade shaver, but every 3-4 years I go on an electric shaver kick and use it for about a year. I've never found a single electric razor that shaves as close as a blade, but I used to own a Norelco Advantage that gave a decently close shave that was pretty comfortable and didn't irritate my neck.

This is supposed to be the upgrade to the Advantage, but after just a few days of use my neck is chewed up far worse than it ever has been with any other electric. It's annoying enough that I'm not willing to "wait it out" for the 30-day trial period that Norelco recommends, and I'll be returning it next week.

That being said, I can see from the other ratings that many people have had a lot of success with this shaver. Part of my problem may be that I'm a shaving perfectionist and if I'm not getting a close shave in a given area I'll go over it again a few times until the hairs are cut off. It boggles my mind that I can run an electric shaver over a patch of stubble and the stubble will sit there, unaffected, as if nothing at all had happened. You don't see that happening with blades...

So in summary:
Pros: auto-filling lotion cartridge, waterproof, quick charging, does glide well over face (no irritation WHILE shaving, but boy you'll feel it later)
Cons: seems to cause ingrown hairs at a higher rate than its predecessors, very high neck irritation, lotion seems to drip off of razor head while shaving, not a very close shave. NO ELECTRIC IS EVER AS CLOSE AS A BLADE, so I wish that Norelco and Braun would stop claiming such.



5 out of 5 stars Best Norelco Shaver, EVER!   October 8, 2008
I've been using Norelco shavers for years. I remember the first one I bought was a basic corded shaver. I currently own 4 Norelco shavers and this one is the best. I love the auto shaving lotion fill dispenser that comes with this unit. But what I loved the most was how good this razor feels as you are shaving. It has the best overall design as it relates to comfort while shaving, from the floating heads with the glide ring, to it's thinner, lighter weight. This razor does not have a chamber to collect the cut hair, so you may not want to use it as a dry shaver after putting on a white shirt, but it is the perfect shower shaver, which is where I use it. I LOVE MY NEW NORELCO 8060X. Did I mention how well this new design shaves tough to get places like your upper lip/nose area? No more missed hairs just below the nostrels!!!


4 out of 5 stars High quality razor   October 8, 2008
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.


4 out of 5 stars good shaver   September 22, 2008
This is the first wet/dry I have owned so I have nothing to compare it to but it works as advertised. Used it for a month and no problems yet.


5 out of 5 stars Outstanding shaver!   September 4, 2008
I'm certainly not as eloquent as many other reviewers. I have gone through a long series of Norelco shavers over time, always with a great deal of satisfaction. Without a doubt this one exceeds all previous models. The handling is comfortable, the shave outstanding, the charging and moisturizer refill system terrific and practical. Am simply thrilled with this model.
