Review (4/5): Get the best shave with Norelco Cool Shave
I owned a Norelco 6826 razor before this, and wanted to upgrade. The Cool Shave seemed like a great product because you can use it in the shower, or out as long as your face is wet. This razor is a big step up. It gives me a much less irritating shave than the dry one. I bought the one with all of the warning lights, like charging, how much time until charging ends, indicators, and how much shave time left. I hardly look at any of them except the shave time and charging time. Also, I don't use the Nivea pouches anymore. They are a good idea, but they run out too fast and are expensive. I use the Gilette blue shaving lotion. I put it all over my face and wet the razor. It is just as effective. Also, the razor doesn't come with a sideburn function attached. You have to put it on separately (but it is included), which is only a minor pain. I can deal with it. Some people have written that the razor is a bit slippery, which is true, but mine has never fallen out of my hands. The zipper case is nice, but kind of small. So, overall, the extra touches don't mean much. It is the razor that is, itself, the best part. The shave is smooth and very close. It feels nice to use a battery-powered razor on a wet face. It is just a great invention.
