Product Reviews of Philips Norelco 8020X Moisturizing Shaving System
Product Review: Perfect for sensitive faces
Summary: 5 Stars
Works as advertised straight out of the box. There's enough charge to use it right away. But then do charge it 8 hours for the next use. Our teen aged son has sensitive skin and has had a rough go of it using a Remington shaver. He used the Norelco Christmas morning, and even though it normally takes a week or two for your face to get used to a rotary, it was the first shave ever where he didn't have any redness or worse.
Two thumbs up and five stars for this excellent shaver!

This was for my dad for Father's Day. He is 92 years old and really seems to like the shaver. It gave him a very close shave.Product Review: Philips Norelco 8020X Moisturizing Shaving System

Gift to husband who hasn't used an electric razor in over 40 years. He has been extremely pleased with the quality of this product and the resulting shave.Product Review: Philips Norelco 8020X Moisturizing Shaving System
Summary: 4 Stars
A very good shaver. I use it in the shower as a completely wet system and it performs very well. The heads flex to accommodate facial contours just as advertised and overall I like the feel and operation of this unit. It is lightweight and easy to hold and use. The shave is very good, close without cutting or irritating the skin. I've been using electrics for some time so I'm well beyond the habituation period. I keep a three blade on hand to touch up the neck and nose areas, a good idea with any electric.
I have not used the built in moisturizer. I use a common shaving gel applied directly to the face and it works very well. This is just personal preference. The moisturizer they sell as part of the system is more expensive and not as readily available as common gel. You also are told to periodically replace the entire cassette that holds the moisturizer (sold together) for sanitary purposes. This seems a little wasteful and unnecessary. Also, use of the built-in system seems to mandate more frequent and elaborate cleaning. I may or may not use it at some point, but it is definitely not necessary, particularly when you're in the shower.
This is not a high RPM shaver like the Panasonic wet and dry units. It does not have the same sophisticated feel as those shavers although it functions very well. It has a red light that comes on when the built-in battery is low, but does not regulate the charge like the Panasonic does. You have to put your charger on a lamp timer for eight hours or you'll ruin the battery, which I do not believe is replaceable.
At $80 it's overpriced. It should have a built-in charging regulator to protect the battery as do the Panasonics (although this unit is lighter than the Panasonic). You CAN ruin this unit by overcharging. You will also have to replace the heads at some point, so actual life span under daily use is open to question.
Product Review: Pretty good

I replaced another in/out shower norelco shower with this because it was getting old. I use this in the shower along with norelco shaving foam. The flex tracker works great. I have minimal irritation. Very satisfied.
