Product Reviews of Philips Norelco 8020X Moisturizing Shaving System
Product Review: Awesome
Summary: 5 Stars
upgraded to this from the 7 series. Shaves closer even dry. Works great for shaving in the shower.Product Review: Best Norelco shaver ever
Summary: 5 Stars
I finally parted with my former noreleco moisturing shaver of several years and decided to try the 8020X. Best shaver ever and as good a shave as I have ever had. I only wish that they had made the housing for the moisturizer transparent. It would have made it much easier to see when it is time to refill the reservoir.Product Review: Best shave since highschool
Summary: 4 Stars
First of all, I didn't buy this product from Amazon cause I'm in Canada. Yet reading the reviews here helped me make up my mind so I decided to give back a little.
I've had problems with shaving all my life and the last 4 years I moved to trimming twice a week rather than shaving. Yet when I got this shaver I tried in the shower and it was amazing. Clean shave, no irritation; a feeling I missed for years.
Pros:
- Excellent close shave
- Lightweight
- Waterproof
- Not noisy
- Affordable
Cons:
- Might feel a little cheap on the plastic side
- The Nivea cream is expensive and so far I can't find a cheaper alternative
- The travel bag is useless (not that I care)
Product Review: Blah
Summary: 2 Stars
Nice concept, just not very practical. Using it outside of the shower is uncomfortable so it's not the kind you want if you only want one. The lotion is expensive and you need a ton to avoid irritation. It still irritates my neck no matter what I do. I tried using it with other lotions and creams with no improvement.
Not a bad product, just not for my face.
Product Review: Don't be scared... it won't bite.
Summary: 4 Stars
When I first started using this razor, I was VERY skeptical, being it was my first electric razor. I received it as a Christmas gift and figured it was as good a time as any to stray away from the world of manual razors.
When I first used it, I was scared to say the least. I didn't know how it would feel, perform, or how my skin would react to it. After I finished my first shave with it, I was a bit unsatisfied. It missed a lot of hair, and left my skin feeling irritated. When I went on to review other electric razors I found that it is very common for electric razors to miss hairs, so I gave this product the benefit of the doubt and decided to give it another shot.
My second shave was more enjoyable. I decided to slow my shave down, and give a little more attention to how I was maneuvering the razor. My results the second time around were a little more favorable. It didn't leave behind as many hairs and my skin was less irritated and a lot smoother.
After a few more times of use, I decided to break down my shave a little more and read the instructions that came with the razor. Turns out, reading the instructions and following them make a HUGE difference. Who would've thought?
After about the first month of use, it became clear that keeping this razor was the best decision I've made in a long time. Now that I have a personalized shaving system down, not only is my shave quick and close, but it's also enjoyable.
This razor cuts close. And I mean CLOSE. And with little to no irritation depending on how hard you press. Sometimes it's hard to gauge how easily certain spots on your face get irritated, so some irritation is just inevitable. The floating heads contour to everything nice and fluently. Philips Norelco advises the consumer to not buy any lotions or cremes to put on your face because it could possibly damage the razor. But I found that I actually get a better shave if I use the dispensing moisturizer in unison with a good face wash, and I can't imagine it doing any harm to the razor. It's never caused me any problems.
All in all, I HIGHLY recommend this razor to anyone and everyone. It's a great razor for first time electric razor users as well as long time veterans. It also shaves just as well as the Braun Pulsonic Series 7 (I should know, I've used the Braun as well, thanks to my roommate) if used correctly, and at half the price! Do your research, give yourself some time to form a shaving routine, and give this razor a chance. You won't regret it.
