A Great Little Shaver

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 January 2014

Verified Purchase

As a shaver of both wet & dry types I needed a replacement razor for an old Philips Cool Skin razor - this one seemed to fit the bill the best as it offered the user the option of applying gel whilst shaving (same as the Cool Skin razor).
I had read some of the other ratings and decided to give it a try. I can agree with some of the ratings as anyone who hasn't used an electric razor before will notice a difference and it will take time for your face to adjust to using an electric razor but for any out there who already use an electric razor this is a very good model for the price.
The razor is extremely quiet and very ergonomic in shape - the blades produced a very acceptable shave and the use of the gel kept my face hydrated and free from irritation.
The one bad point is that the razor does use quite a lot of gel - I've been using the razor for a few weeks now and I'm on my third bottle of lotion (although the one supplied with the razor was only 25 ml).

18 moths after purchase

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 September 2012

Verified Purchase

After 18 months use the unit has suddenly stopped working which makes me wish I had bothered to register for the free 2nd year warrantee. I think it may be the rechargeable battery which has never taken enough power for a 1 week holiday away from the charger.
The Nivia Shaving conditioner is a very expensive consumable which is no real advantage. I used the shaver in the shower and it worked just as well with shower gell.
The great advantage over my previous Philips shavers (and the AquaTouch AT890 I purchased as an emergency replacement) is that it gives a very close shave. The disadvantages are that it is prone to blockages caused by longer than average hairs and VERY difficult to clean. The charger base is not very good being very light and difficult to ensure that the shaver is sitting correctly to charge - there is no excuse for such a simple design error. It is also relatively fragile and would probably break easilly if dropped.
I don't think I would buy another one but the shave is so much closer than the Philips AquaTouch AT890 I purchased to replace it I think I will try to get it repaired. If I do get it repaired I would still use it as my first choice (which says a lot) but would never take it on holiday or rely on it as my only shaver.

Great shave, lotion is expensive and hard to find on the high street

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 January 2014

Verified Purchase

The razor itself is good, I have used Philips for a long time and only bought this one because the battery was starting to fade on my old razor.

Wet shaving with an electric shaver is new to me and it definitely works better than dry shaving, especially if you use the lotion, you don't need much of this and after a few days I am able to shave my whole face with only three/four presses of the dsipense button.

This would get 5 stars if it weren't for the price of the lotion, you get a small 35ml bottle with the shaver, on Amazon and the Boots website they it comes in 75ml bottles which cost about £7 each - apparently they last about 6 months each. I have looked in several high street shops and supermarkets but could not find it there so to get this stuff it looks like you have to go online. I do feel it is expensive for what it is but the shave it gives is very close and it prevents soreness afterwards.

Best shaver i've used

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 April 2012

Verified Purchase

I have quite tough facial hair and fairly sensitive skin so I've always struggled with shavers and razors alike, dry shavers tend to pull the hairs and chafe the skin, or in the case of foil shavers just plain break on the tough hair and I found razors got blunt within half a shave.

The coolskin HS8420 however has provided a functional solution, giving a close shave without chafing the skin, the best of both worlds: wet shaving with a shaver! The Nivea lotion works well enough but it seems to me to be a bit of a gimmick, there is no need to dispense lotion from the shave heads, I actually use King of shaves gel which I apply directly to my face before shaving. THe shaver itself is also very easy to clean unlike older models as the shave heads have open backs so water can flow right through the heads either from the tap or by submersion in the sink. I also use braun shaver cleaner spray between shaves, which sterilises and lubricates the heads.

However if you have normal facial hair as opposed to tough hair like me, you might be better off with a simple dry shaver, as if that's effective for you, it would be quicker and less messy.

Not for me, i will be going back to a wet shave

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 August 2010

Verified Purchase

A very well packaged, good looking well built unit and the lotion applicator worked quite well. The lotion certainly offers a more comfortable shave and a quick rinse under the tap is ideal for keeping it in good condition.

Now onto the downside, using this took far too long to have a shave compared to a wet shave. I had to go round and round and back over the same area again and again and after 10 minutes the result was still rather poor. I had to get my wet razor out to do my sideburns and to pick up areas that the electric razor had missed. Despite using the lotion I did have a bit of a rash on my neck because I had to go over the same area so many times.

In conclusion I will stick with a wet razor as the benefits I was looking for in an electric don't exist in my experience with this Philips razor. It took longer, the result was poor, I still got razor rash and then there is the point of remembering to keep it charged (not to mention the hassle of buying a 2 pin adaptor so you can plug into a normal 3 pin socket).

Good Wet or Dry Philashave Razor

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 October 2016

Verified Purchase

I had this for a while before starting to use this. Looks really good, it shaves close. I like using it in the shower with the Nivea cream as I have sensitive skin and it does not irritate. The only negative if it is one is that it is impossible to get straight lines on your side burns which I use a cheap razor to straighten up. Apart from that well made and designed product.

Great shave, nice cooling balm. Really disappointed after paying £278.99 for it I can't get replacement heads. Feel its a bit of a liberty that they reccomend you replace heads after 1 year when non e are available. Will not be buying again.
