 Another great shaver from Norelco September 17, 2007

Great new product form Norelco! I'm a long time Norelco user - started with Norelco Advantage 5 or 6 years ago, then had two different Cool Skin shavers, and now have been using the new 8060X for the past few weeks. I'm very happy with this razor and it's a step in the right direction from the previous models. It's smaller and more lightweight than its predecessors, it's easier to clean due to its open design, and not having to replace lotion cartridges every couple of weeks is a plus. I couldn't get as close of a shave with it at first, but as the manual says - some break-in is required, and now that I've used it for a few weeks - it's doing a great job and I couldn't be happier with it. Norelco Customer Service is also hard to beat - they stand behind their products and will go above and beyond to keep their customers happy.
Norelco finally got it right! February 17, 2008

I have used electric razors for over 35 years all have good points and all have weaknesses. Norelco razors have two problems.
Hard to clean. As the cutter and blades fill up the motor is not able to maintain the speed and nicks result. You must take the blade and cutter assembly apart to clean properly and if you cut longer hairs by accident(side burn area etc.) it will wrap around the cutting blade and really slow the motor down. The motor slowing is the worst on the new "3 blade" called the Speed XL, they just seem to be underpowered.(just as a note the older Spectra blade replacements fit these razors and seem to work better). Think of this problem like a paper shredder that has not beeen emptied and hasn't room for more papers in the bin.
Hidden Build up. I have changed batteries in several of my Norelco shavers and the build up of gunk where only disassembly could find and cure it, is remarkable(same with most brands). I suspect this is gunk is high in bacteria and the cause of most skin infections from nicks. The stuff you never knew was there is nasty!
Now for the cure: Norelco 8060x! This razor blade assembly has open backs for the stubble to fall through as you shave. I use mine in the shower so no mess. The blade assembly is completely seperate from the motor unit= no place for gunk to build up! The unit is entirely water proof. The blades disassemble easily so you can get at those occasional "longer hairs" that wrap around the cutters. The cutters have more blades on each, so the shave is faster and the motor seems stronger than previous models, hence less slowing. The Nivea solution is great, but you can use regular shave cream or gel. I like the Nivea Gel for Sensitive Skin, it seems to be the right thickness for the razor and works alomost as well as the cream you load in the razor.
The only negative for some people might be the size or shape of the handle, it is smaleer and lighter than most shavers. Some people with larger hands may find is inconvient and others may find it easy to drop.
Overall this is the best all around razor I have owned, there is a brief time required for your face to get used to any new razor... This ones worth it!!
What a Pleasant Surprise! June 12, 2008

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.
First Electric Shaver August 20, 2008

And definitely done with traditional razors. I was skeptical at first of how well an electric shaver could, well, shave, but I was proven wrong. The moisturizer from the shaver head is a great idea, and the price of replacement lotion hasn't bothered me yet as I don't find myself covering my face with it while I shave. The charge/refill station alone makes this unit worth it over the cheaper ones, but the shorter recharge time too is important to keep in mind. Best of all, I've yet to irritate my face shaving with this, and I have very oil and acne prone skin.
Far superior to older models April 13, 2008

The new Norelco 8060x Coolskin is far better than the old 7xxx series in practically every way.
The old models shaved very close, but irritated my skin and left me red and inflamed.
The new model on the other hand shaves just as close, but is also extremely comfortable, and doesn't leave my skin irritated, even during the regrowth phase.
It also shaves much faster than the older model, courtesy of having more blades in the shaving head.
I highly recommend this shaver!
The only thing I don't like, is the Nivea shaving lotion. I recommend to not use it, as there are better alternatives that are much cheaper.
I use a light glycerin based shaving gel, and I get much better shaves than I do with the Nivea lotion.
