 I have had better!! June 15, 2010
Mr. G. Finch (Sleaford, UK.)
My wife bought me this as Christmas gift, initially I thought, great a new shaver!
However, having now used this for some months I find there are a number of issues. The shaver itself feels good, it's design is excellent.
The shave is not as close as my previous Braun, I find myself having to use a wet razor to finish the job off, not what you would expect from a shaver at this price. If your facial hair is slightly too long (a weekends worth of growth!) then this shaver is very inadequate. If used as a quick dry shave, it burns the skin slightly and leaves an irritating rash, so that is not really recommended, always use the moisturiser. It feels a little under powered too, I cant quite put my finger on what it is about this shaver but it just does not feel right!
Would I recommend this shaver...no, I believe there are better shavers for less money, I have just ordered a new Braun, much to the annoyance of my wife!!
 Very good! June 9, 2010

Well I needed an electric shaver to take to the gym in the mornings so that I could have a quick once over, tidy myself up ready for work and get moving. Now to be fair I'm not the hairiest man in the world, but this shaver does exactly that. Nice shave, don't feel many hairs tugged out rather than sliced. Couple of things I don't like, the shaved hair goes everywhere, my old one had something to catch the shaved hairs. Also the replacement plades are reasonably pricey in my opinion. Overally nice close shave and good sturdy looks, still prefer a proper wet shave though.

I really didn't expect this shaver to be this good.. My old Philips died and needed a replacement. I had been wet shaving for a couple of days and my craggy old chops looked like a war zone.. Nicks all over the place, and burning like a three bar electric fire.. Although it took a few weeks to return to some sort of human form, this shaver with it's nivea system really helped.Very close shave and for me worth every penny.Philips Nivea Coolskin HS8060 Moisturizing Rotary Rechargeable Shaving System
Does what it says on the tin! February 26, 2010

I've had this about a month now and am very pleased with it. I had one of the HS8060's predecessors and while that was good it was getting a bit long in the tooth - blades starting to getting dull and the battery life fading. So, it was time for a replacement. After the initial set up and first charge and fill it was time for it's first outing. Amazing. Probably as good as a wet shave. I'm well impressed. It looks pretty cool as well.

I bought my Philips 'coolskin' a month ago and in the first week I had used a whole cannister of moisturiser!
I can now buy the stuff relatively cheap at asda but I use it more sparingly now (this second one has lasted 3 weeks so far}.
Shaving is a pleasure and I can use it wet or dry. The battery holds its charge for a few days and the charging base automatically refills the shaver with moisturizer. Very convenient!
Of course no electric razor is ever as close as a conventional wet shave but it does do a surprisingly good job.
There's a slight rash on my neck but Im told that it can take weeks for sensitive skin to get used to it.
Being a life-long wet shaver it took a long time to decide which electric shaver to buy but I am pleased with my choice.
