Taking shaving to the next level
Pros: The best of both worlds.. electric shaving, wet shaving.  Head design is perfect for trimming beards.  Automatic application of shaving conditioner eliminates "razor burn".  Bargin price compared to Norelco's "dry" razor.<br /><br />Cons: Sideburn trimmer requires removal of shaving head, this is inconvenient.  Nevia Shaving Conditioner is not only hard to find in stores but when  you do locate it it is very expensive.  Shaving Conditioner reservoir on the shaver itself has to be replaced each time you start a new bottle of Nevia Shaving Conditioner and I feel this is just a wasteful use of plastic.<br /><br />Summary:  The Philips Norelco 8040X provides the most comfortable shave I've ever had.  I use it mainly for beard trimming and find  that it gives me greater control than other razors.
