Philips Norelco Nivea for Men Razor - HS8420 product details page

I purchased this for my husband, who has thick, coarse facial hair that grows quickly. He uses in the shower & also uses to shave his head. It's a great razor for the price. He's never liked anything but manuel razors until now. [retailer]

I bought it on the last minute because I had no choice and I had to pick one. I've seen it around for a long time, but never gave it a try.Pos side: - smaller, light, cool and fun design, nice appeal- stand doesn't take too much space either and charger/ cord is smaller and lighter than others- flexible headNeg side: - has no trimmer; - once hair is cut it falls right off on your body or over the area you're using. The shaving head blades have no collecting space where the hair can be stored un til cleaned (like all the other models do)- flexible head is also a negative, since you can't use all three shaving blades at the same time for most of the face area. It will end up using only one blade at the timeI only have it for a couple weeks now. Will need to see how this holds in the next months.

I looked at and read a lot of reviews on a lot of cordless shavers, before I purchased. I fully charged it overnight (8 hrs). Now looking at my receipt; I purchased it on February 14th, 2011. I use this every day, or every other day, and 30 seconds after every shave for cleaning. Today is March 19th, 2011 and the recharge light finally came on this morning, for the very first time. I read reviews about a short charge life, but I'm not seeing it on mine (33 days on one charge). I refilled the lo tion for the first about 5 days ago, so it's not like it uses a ton of it. I'm 42 and have a thicker beard, so I thought the battery would die out quick.You can use it in the shower too. I chose to buy at Target, having not been in there in 10 years, over other retailers because they're good at helping. I've since purchased my TV from them too. It gives a really close shave too, but as with any cordless shaver, you'll have to use a blade to touch up detailed areas about once a week.

This razor completely blows away my older razor. It''s a third of the weight of my old one and gives a much smooth cleaner shave.It's also water-safe and smaller than a normal razor. The charger also comes apart for easier storage.The downside is the battery life. It takes eight hours to completely charge it, however the battery only last for thirty minutes. Not a problem if you only shave for 3-5 minutes a day.The other problem is, it doesn't have a trimmer.Despite this, I'd don't regret buyin g it. I think the quality of the shave is well worth the two negative factors.
