Review (4/5): Great shaver
[[ASIN:B000UJZIEY Philips Norelco 8060X Moisturizing Shaving System]]
This shaver was bought for me after careful studying of the reviews on Amazon. Now after three weeks of shaving I can say that I am quite satisfied.
The tool is very quiet, gives a good close shave, almost as good as a razor shave. The shaving is a very pleasant experience, thanks to the wet foam or cream that is used on the face during the shave. I have tried both the special Nivea lotion and regular shaving foam. They work equally well. No hair or foam is spilled onto your shirt or over the sink.
A good shave takes roughly 5 minutes, more or less the same time as a good razor shave. The cleaning of the shaver is very easy, a quick rinse under the faucet.
All in all, the shaving experience is very similar to a razor shave. The advantage is that the shaver never cuts you, something a razor blade cannot achieve.
The only drawback is that the batteries should not be overcharged. Therefore you have to make an effort to stop the charging process after 90 minutes. (If you overcharge for a few extra hours nothing bad seems to happen with the shaver, but Philips writes that overcharging is not good for the lifetime of the battery.) It is a pity the battery charger does not have a simple timer for this charging problem.
I compared the shaving comfort of this wet shaver with the shaving comfort of my fiends Philips dry shaver [[ASIN:B001AMRQ2W Philips Norelco SpeedXL 8240XL Men's Shaving System]]. I must say the dry shaver was less pleasant and more irritating to the skin. There was no time saving when using the dry shaver.
