Philips Norelco Moisturizing Shaving System: The Future is Closer than You Think
	Nivea For Men Conditioner Dispensing System Nivea for Men shaving conditioner is dispensed directly onto your skin for a moisturizing and soothing shave. The formula is enriched with vitamins and chamomile to condition your skin and support a healthy look.
Improved Nivea for Men Shaving Conditioner The new line of Philips Norelco Cool Skin shavers comes with an improved Nivea for Men Shaving Conditioner that makes shaving even more comfortable and less irritating for your skin. The Lift & Cut system has been improved so that the appliance gives an even closer shave. Thanks to its new design, the shaver fits more comfortably in your hand, while new features make it easier to clean.
		Flex Tracker System The unique Flex Tracker System closely follows the contours of your face, giving you a smooth and perfect shave. The flexing action ensures that the blades are aligned with your skin to allow hairs to be cut exceptionally closer to the skin. Thus you can enjoy a remarkably smooth and fresh look.
Glide Rings The shaving heads have unique Glide Rings to help the shaver move smoothly over your face.
		Integrated Cartridge Refill System You can Simply pump the Nivea for Men shaving conditioner from the refill can directly into the Cool Skin shaver. Philips Norelco HS8040 Nivea Moisturizing Shaving System gives you the advantage of saving you time and energy by not applying any moisturizer on your face prior to the shave. Just wet your face before you start shaving then press the shaving conditioner button until a sufficient amount of shaving conditioner has been released. Each refill bottle of Nivea for Men shaving conditioner lasts up to three months under regular use conditions.
Super Lift & Cut System The Moisturizing Shaving System is equipped with a dual blade system to give you an ultra close shave. The advantage of having two blades is that you enjoy a comfortable and soothing shave. The Lift & Cut system is designed so the first blade lifts and the second blade cuts for a comfortable close shave. Easy Grip for Total Control Specifically designed for the difficult curves on the face, the Philips Norelco 8040 Nivea Moisturizing Shaving System is an ideal solution for perfect grip and optimal handling. The perfect grip ensures that you enjoy the ultimate comfort and easy shave.
Wet Use--Waterproof Shaver Shaving in the shower saves time and gives you the fresh sensation of wet shaving. The Philips Norelco 8040 is a washable so it is very easy to keep it clean and hygienic with a simple rinse under the tap. It also includes a cleaning brush to remove small hairs.

Summary: Whisker Wonderland!
Comment: I am ecstatic over my new Cool Skin 8040x! This small wonder delivers everything it advertises and then some. I have used other electric razors without finding any that I liked so I have been unhappily dragging a cheap twin blade across my face for years now. The fact that wife may have used the same razor on who knows what before I got to it also taints the whole experience since the blades would be too dull for words. I did some searching for an electric solution and happened across the Philips Norelco line of products and I took a chance on this one after reading reviews on this site. I felt I had to write a report as well. Great razor...buy one! Ciao

Summary: Nice wet shave, HORRIBLE dry shave
Comment: I got to use one of these recently. To summarize:
Pros
- really smooth shave when used wet (I mean, I didn't feel a thing)
- can be used with Nivea lotion (supplied), lather, foam or just wet your face
- easy to use (even refilling it with the lotion is not as hard as it seems)
- comes with detachable sideburn trimmer, which can be stored in the charging stand.
Now, Cons
- horrible dry shave - don't ever try it in the morning - it feels like it's pulling hair, not cutting it, missing half of it anyhow
- 4 hr charge? (really? - almost anything above $100 charges in less than an hour)
- BAD trade-off: you can take it in the shower, it's fully water-proof, but the blades are rudimentary - it's only three blades (as opposed to high end Norelco 9-bladed ones w/3 blades on each head) and it has slots only (no holes like in 8000 Norelco). Hence, the crappy shave.
- I already mentioned smooth, but LONG shave.
- Tedious maintenance

P.S. If you don't have a problem spending a little extra time shaving and shaving wet only - get it, it's one of the most plesant experiences. Nivea lotion rocks. I gave it four stars because despite all the downfalls, it FELT GOOD!

Summary: Decent
Comment: This is an interesting gadget. It adds a lubricating pump to an electric razor. I haven't used too many electric razors but this one seemed pretty smooth although it didn't provide as a good a shave as a regular razor. No irritation and not much mess either. The razor element seems a bit flimsy, even with the protective cover. As long as its not banged around too much it would make for a decent travel razor.
