dewitt's Review of Philips HS8040 Nivea for Men Shaver
10th May 2009
Overall Rating
- Value for money
4 minute quick charge (from flat battery, enough for 1 shave).
you can pop the top of the nivea bottle and refill with aftershave balm (cheaper than the nivea stuff).
ideal for sensitive skin
Bad Points
4hr full charge for 40 mins use.
replacement conditioner is expensive.
the robot in the advert did not come with it :-P.
General Comments
Switched from a gillette fusion to an electric razor mainly due to the costs and disappointment i got from getting shaving cuts every time i put on a new blade, electric razors and me never really got on i was given some braun foil type razor which ripped my skin raw, had a £29 phillips rotary that ripped the hair so stayed with the trusted gillette mach 3 for a few years but even then i could only shave every other day due to skin rash and ingrown hairs. I decided to treat myself to an electric razor and took a gamble paying that much money for something i never had much luck with in the past.
I am pleased to say that the risk was definately worth it as it is very comfortable to use, gives a closer shave than a manual razor and i've managed to shave with it every day since i bought it a week ago though i've had 1 or 2 sore spots where i've had to attempt several passes over an area to get the odd rogue hair but i think it's down to technique and the sore spots went in about 30 mins.
I WOULD RECOMMEND AS A GIFT FOR THE REGULAR ELECTRIC USER OR IF YOU HAVE SENSITIVE SKIN LIKE MYSELF OR YOUR MAKING THE CHANGE FROM MANUAL TO ELECTRIC
