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.

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.

Summary: Performance is not satisfactory
Comment: I have seen lot of good reviews about this shaving system which led me to buy it. This is my first electric shaver that I have used. But my experiences with it has not been satisfactory. Before I let all my concerns out I would like to tell that my facial hair is coarse and I usually shave every 4 to 5 days which might be the reason that I am not finding this shaver good enough for me.
There is no doubt, atleast for me that this shaver takes awful more time to shave than the conventional blade razors (Mach-3). I thought it was part of getting used to it but my shaving time did not improve much in a month. Another hitch I found was that the shaver does get filled with the Nivea shaving lotion but not enough (atleast for me) for the entire shave. The blades especially take awful lot of time to cut the hair and especially in the neck area it was a painful job for me to get rid of the hair. I see that after even long , careful shaving there was residual hair on my face. I think this product would work better if shaven every day or alternate days and with not that coarse hair as mine. I am switching back to Mach-3 untill I find a better electric shaver than this for me.

Summary: Shaver 5 Stars - Trimmer 1 Star
Comment: 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.

Summary: Great right out of the box!
Comment: I've been using the Mach3 Turbo for the past three years or so and was generally pleased with the results. I eventually got tired of using it b/c it would sometimes leave my skin irritated from shaving a little too close. Well I bought the 8060X and it came in a couple days ago. I've used it twice and love the results already - despite the instructions stating that it would take my skin up to 21 days to adjust to the new razor. While I've never really used a high quality electric before, I think this razor is superb. I get a close shave (but not too close) and the lotion dispenser keeps the razor gliding easily.
Anyway, I highly recommend this razor.

Summary: customer
Comment: This product is far too complex for the benefits received. It has a 30+ page instuction book that it is suggested one reads before using. I own a Norelco dry shaver electric razor and a panosonic wet shave electric razor. None shave as close as a cheap Bic or any brand plastic razor. This razor has a stand for charging and a clipper type of attachment. By the time you have read the detailed instuction book you have to go back to figure out exactly how to do something. The cream that comes from the razor is like a lubricant and allows the razor to glide smoothly across one's face. Nice! I haven't had to purchase another can so I am relatively satisfied with that feature until I get hit with sticker shock for buying a replacement. Having used it now for a couple months (they recommend that you use it a few months to get accustomed to it) I consider my evaluation as being legitimate. I would not purchase this shaver--I could buy a couple years of plastic manual razors and not have to read and reread the instruction manual. It is far too complex for the purpose at hand.

Summary: Not as good as the old Advantage
Comment: 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.
