Interesting looks - but not much more
I liked the idea of the lotion and being able to employ it in the shower - and the glances strip-towards the bottom of scifi were interesting. But when it is judged on the basic function of a razor which it is less than average, it simply does not give a narrow shaving, and the not very common design means that the few cuts it makes are not captured. I made it wish ardently too now to turn over, thus it will be employed for a light balance rather than of is my principal razor.


Norelco finally got it right!
I have used electric razors for over 35 years all have good points and all have weaknesses. Norelco razors have two problems.

Hard to clean. As the cutter and blades fill up the motor is not able to maintain the speed and nicks result. You must take the blade and cutter assembly apart to clean properly and if you cut longer hairs by accident(side burn area etc.) it will wrap around the cutting blade and really slow the motor down. The motor slowing is the worst on the new "3 blade" called the Speed XL, they just seem to be underpowered.(just as a note the older Spectra blade replacements fit these razors and seem to work better). Think of this problem like a paper shredder that has not beeen emptied and hasn't room for more papers in the bin.


Hidden Build up. I have changed batteries in several of my Norelco shavers and the build up of gunk where only disassembly could find and cure it, is remarkable(same with most brands). I suspect this is gunk is high in bacteria and the cause of most skin infections from nicks. The stuff you never knew was there is nasty!

Now for the cure: Norelco 8060x! This razor blade assembly has open backs for the stubble to fall through as you shave. I use mine in the shower so no mess. The blade assembly is completely seperate from the motor unit= no place for gunk to build up! The unit is entirely water proof. The blades disassemble easily so you can get at those occasional "longer hairs" that wrap around the cutters. The cutters have more blades on each, so the shave is faster and the motor seems stronger than previous models, hence less slowing. The Nivea solution is great, but you can use regular shave cream or gel. I like the Nivea Gel for Sensitive Skin, it seems to be the right thickness for the razor and works alomost as well as the cream you load in the razor.

The only negative for some people might be the size or shape of the handle, it is smaleer and lighter than most shavers. Some people with larger hands may find is inconvient and others may find it easy to drop.

Overall this is the best all around razor I have owned, there is a brief time required for your face to get used to any new razor... This ones worth it!!


After Break-In Period, Great Shaver
When I first got this shaver I had already read other reviews negatively reflect on the break-in period. The mostly read that at first the shaver can be awful on your skin. Most also said that after their skin got used to it, it was a worthwhile buy. I feel exactly the same way. However I went through a worse "break-in" period than the ones I read about. I have horribly dry and sensitive skin. This shaver cut me numberous times at the beginning. Yes, that's right. An electric razor cut my skin. This was definitely a first for me, as well as others I knew had used an electric razor in the past. As bad as it was, I have to say that I believe it was my atypical skin that aided in causing this. The funny thing is that in the beginning it probably could have been worse. The lotion in the shaver helped to minimize the pain and harm that the shaver had caused me.
After this period this razor was fantastic. I haven't used an electric razor, myself, in probably over a decade. They sure have changed. Unfortunately this also makes it difficult for me to compare it to ones that I have used in the past. The ones that I did were practically archaic next to the current products that I shopped through.
The pros of this razor easily satisfy my wonder if I had made the right choice of electric razor and what I needed it for when my "manual" razor worked so well. I couldn't believe how close this shaver got. I was astonished. Again I unfortunately can't compare to other electrics on the market. I love when I'm in a rush and I can use the 8060 to quickly get rid of my five or six-oclock shadow. Almost no cleanup and if so it doesn't have to be done right away, especially if you're in a rush. A hair catcher would've been a nice edition but the ones in electric trimmers I use or have used only seemed to get in the way.
I'm happy I got the "Shaving System" as well because not only does this model have a great quick-charge function but you also never have to manually put the lotion in the shaver. It's done automatically. And, as stated before, I absolutely love the lotion, especially for difficult skin like mine.
In conclusion the Philips Norelco 8060X Moisturizing Shaving System was a purchase that I am now entirely happy for having bought. If you have poor skin or when you first use this it chafes your skin badly, give it some time because your skin should definitely become accustomed to it and it's smooth shaving from there.


Best Shaver Ever!
After about three months of ownership, I still love this shaver! It is the best Norelco I have ever had out of a total of five Norelcos owned. The shave is closer than any other electric shaver and my skin feels soft afterwards thanks to the lotion. It is also way cheaper than the Arcitec shavers that are quite frankly overpriced. The charging and lotion refill stand does a great job. I didn't want to bother with doing the lotion refill by hand and the stand does the job flawlessly with no mess. The lotion cans are very convenient.

Other people have mentioned that the hairs fall out of this shaver. I have never had this problem. They stay inside until the shaver is rinsed out under the faucet. I have used the shaver in my car when running late and do not worry about hairs getting all over the place. Using the lotion while shaving means that the hairs stay inside the shaver.


Philips Norelco 8060X
Bought this item for my husband because he had used norelco before. He liked this shaver even better. He has senitive skin and fines he hasn't had any flair-ups with using this shaver. He loves the warm shave cream that came with it. He said he would rate this shaver with the highest rating.

I have had the Norelco dry razors and lotion razors over the years. This is the best one they have made. When I had my original norelco cool skin, it required individual Nivea skin packs. It came with a single blade system, I found it difficult to get a close shave. The packs were not convenient. I went to a dry shave with the Spectra and then the triple head 9160. The Sprectra was more gentle, and the 9160 gave a closer shave as it was a triple head. With sensitive skin, I still needed to use pre-electric shave with either. I would need to use a regular razor to touch up with both some times. Here is what makes this new razor fantastic. It uses the triple head system so you get a closer shave, and by electronic touch, nivea skin lotion comes out of two heads.The charging stand holds a nivea can that automatically fills the razor when the lotion runs out. In other words, you now buy a can and no longer buy these little Nivea packs. With each can there is a new insert to replace the old one. In the old days, you would buy a box of 10 nivea cartridges, and throw each away. With this, the can refills the razor. There is no longer a hair collection area surrounded by a metal blade holder as the triple head blades are exposed. Because of this, you can get closer in areas around your nose and sideburns. The head unit swivels around your chin making it easier. The blade system snaps out and offers a snap in trimmmer that actually works well unlike previous models where the trimmers were marginal. Because of this, I no longer need to use a regular razor to touch up. I get a close shave, and my skin is no longer irratated because the lotion makes it comfortable. In addition, when it is time to replace the razor heads, you take the triple razor head off and snap on a new one. This eliminates having to replace each head individually which if you have ever dropped one, was sometimes a hassle. This new system is a huge improvement over previous models, and I am really happy with my purchase. The model below this is the 8040. The only difference is you fill that model with the can manually, and it takes 4 hours to charge versus the 1.5 hours the 8060 takes. I wanted the stand and faster charge time. Great razor for sensitive skin.


Good overall quality but bad design
This is the third of Norelco's waterproof series that I have owned.
The overall quality is just as good as previous models and other Philips/Norelco products.
The shaver is constructed well and is lighter and more compact than previous models. Charging and battery life also seem to be very good.

The main problem I find with this new design is that the heads/razors are floating and not encased as previous models and most other shavers. When using this shaver in the shower this is not a problem. However, when you use this shaver outside of the shower, the lack of casing around the heads means that as you shave, all of the hair pieces fall from the shaver to the counter or wherever else you may be (I would not recommend using this shaver in the car unless you don't mind getting yourself and your car covered with hair pieces). To me this is a major oversight and design flaw.
In short, if you only plan to use this razor in the shower this is a good choice, but if you need to use the razor outside of the shower as well, you may want to choose something else.


Good replacement for my 7735X
I took this razor like replacement for my 7735x because the battery finally lost its load then over 2 years of a daily utility. I think that the system to hydrate on a shaver is pure genius and I hope for contiues of Norelco to improve the line. At all events, the 8060x makes much improvements above the older line but of other improvements can be brought. Initially with far, this razor is relatively compact above the line of 7XXX. The blades rest placed on the body making with the razor a smaller combination but of the sheets the vulnerable blades to damage during the voyage. The distribution of lotion is actuated now electronically against the handbook pumping to you must make with the older line. A thing which opposed to me was that the lotion did not always do it on the surface of blade or skin. The lotion comes by two stems releasing itself from the body and then by a hole in the center from the two principal blades. Theoretically, the lotion should just come outside on the blades and above with the skin but while shaving with the lotion flees outside with the lower part of the blade where it does not make a heap of good. Perhaps if you distribute the lotion whereas it was not tight against your face but that would add the hour to your shaving to do that each time you needed more than lotion. On with the stand of filling and filling. It is an enormous advance above the preceding model. The stand reloads not only the razor but automatically fills the razor with the lotion! It is much more convenient than to miss lotion semi-shave or being out of the lotion because you forgot to replace the cartridge. The bottles are $10 for less than 3 ounces. The kind of expensive if you ask me and I did not check what $10/3 ounce would equalize with against the cartridges. Expenses of razor in one nothing time. 90 minutes for full charges and it has a fast mode of load but I never seem lets it run out completely. The razor also comes with a stand from filling from voyage to carry easy. You will have to carry a bottle of the lotion to manually fill it in this case. A last thing, you obtain an attachment of bandage. Traction right the head of blade with far and break the bandage above and it is good outward journey you. I recommend this razor in spite of the some bad tempers which I have about it. Nothing perfect but it is as good as you will obtain if you want a razor which distributes the lotion.


Another great shaver from Norelco
Great new product form Norelco! I'm a long time Norelco user - started with Norelco Advantage 5 or 6 years ago, then had two different Cool Skin shavers, and now have been using the new 8060X for the past few weeks. I'm very happy with this razor and it's a step in the right direction from the previous models. It's smaller and more lightweight than its predecessors, it's easier to clean due to its open design, and not having to replace lotion cartridges every couple of weeks is a plus. I couldn't get as close of a shave with it at first, but as the manual says - some break-in is required, and now that I've used it for a few weeks - it's doing a great job and I couldn't be happier with it. Norelco Customer Service is also hard to beat - they stand behind their products and will go above and beyond to keep their customers happy.
