Philips HS8020

Doomed from the start – These shavers are designed to be used and cleaned in water. I have had three shavers of this type over the years and all three units have failed for some reason or another.When purchasing this particular shaver and expressing my concerns over their reliability to the salesman at the shaver shop, he assured me that this model would go the distance… Read more

- not so! Just one week outside the 2 year warranty the shaver failed to charge. I opened it to see if I could change the battery and found the unit had been taking on moisture and the whole inside was green from corrosion. the inadequate seal had obviously not done it's job and the shaver was now more land fill. Never again. Claims of Wet shaving Maximum two years life before it drowns itself.

Good – Overall it's a great shaver but the conditioner is the only drama i think... why make a handy well designed shaver and make it so difficult for consumers to purchase the conditioner?... it's quite obvious that someone thought this one through!! but the overall concept is great because you dont have to worry about the shaving cream or a mirror… Read more

even, as you can feel it where you've missed shaving!! A VERY GOOD TRY JUST A REAL REVIEW IS NEEDED AND THEY'LL HAVE A WINNER! I received this shaver as a gift on fathers day and i like it!...the shaver itself is really handy, durable and easy to use in all situations including changing of the blades! The conditioner is good on the skin but i wouldn't give it an award lol! The conditioner is hard to get and doesn't last long, the pump packs should be at least double the size and as cheap as shaving cream!!! it looks like another beauty scam with the conditioner! what a drama that is!!

Excellent – After using various non-electric shavers for all of my adult life (I am now 62) I decided last year to switch sides. What a change! I love this shaver; it does a great job, nice close shave, with no nicks or burn. Now if only I could get my hands of the Nivea refills withou buying on line and paying a heap in postage! Lightweight, fits the hand… Read more

very well, gives a great close shave once you get used to it, charge is long-lasting. Difficult to get Nivea Shaving Conditioner refills.

Good – Not very worried about the Nivea refill because I don't use it. I shave in the shower and use ordinary shaving foam (Home Brand... whatever) on my face this electric razor seems to work fine like that. I notice you can buy refills in my local Big W for about $14 but I won't bother. shaving foam is much cheaper. I have never been able to use an… Read more

electric shaver before after 40 years shaving with a blade. Those I have bought have irritated my skin so much that I abandoned them with in a few days so this one was a revelation. I have used it for several weeks now and I think I missed one day in the first fortnight to let my skin settle. Easy to use in the shower seems to do a reasonable job even with two days growth. The long charge time is a nuisance but not a big problem
