Customer Reviews of Philips Norelco 8040X Moisturizing Shaving System

Customer Review: 20 Year step backwards in closeness.
Summary: 1 Stars

#1) I bought this instead of the cheaper version because this had the Travel Case with it. What a JOKE. It's a wrap. My previous Norelco's all came with nice cases to travel with, but this is just some flimsy neoprene wrap... NOT worth the extra $20 or so that this cost over the basic model.

#2) I had the previous version of the CoolSkin razor, and really loved it. When the battery finally died in it, I purchases this one just because it was the next version of the razor I liked. This one, I can barely tolerate. Since I passed my "try it or money back" period, I'm stuck with this thing till I can find something better.

#3) This is obviously a razor that is put out just for it's funky look. Not how well it performs. The razor head covers keep falling off, all it takes is a slight twist and the head unit falls apart. The new head design is a single drive, instead of previous norelco units that drive all 3 heads independently. This razor is SLLLLOOOOWW! It reminds me of my first cordless razor from 1985! I wouldn't recommend using this in the shower, as you'll waste more money in water bills than getting a close shave outta this slow razor.

#4) Keep a standard razor handy. You're going to need it for the areas that this razor just REFUSES to shave. No matter how much lotion I use, how many times I go over this area, how much I twist, turn and tug, this razor refuses to shave certain areas of my face.

Overall, this product is a major disappointment. I would not recommend this to any of my friends. I just wish I wouldn't have gone past my "you'll like it or get your money back" period. I'm out $100 for this turkey of a razor.

EDIT: 8 months later
Battery is dying in this thing fast. 8 months in, and it no longer hold a maximum charge. I keep new cheap razors in the drawer, as this razor just will NOT get everywhere. Norelco has lost a long time customer with this piece of garbage razor.
