Here is what people are saying about the Philips Norelco 8040X Nivea Moisturizing Shaving System ( 8040 )
4 Star Rating  "works well, saves time"2009-11-13
- Reviewed By User: ANLR26ICPOF4E
This is my first electric razor. I have always shaved with either disposable or a schick quatro. I have a medium to thick beard and have very sensitive skin. The only way i could really get a great smooth shave with a blade was to shave AGAINST the growth, however, this gave me awful irritation and ingrown hairs.

I decided to try this electric razor since i really liked the lotion dispensing feature. At first i didnt like this razor but now that my face has "adapted" to it I love it. I can shave everyday with this and get a great shave. It shaves even smoother than a blade for me. The only way I could get this smooth with a blade would've been with a ton of irritation. The irritation from this razor is extremely minimal. I can hardly feel it. It only leaves the very bottom part of the beard on my neck slightly red and it is only noticeable if you actually look for it in the mirror. It only misses a few hairs every other shave but usually gets them all quickly. As I said before I love the lotion feature. It feels GREAT on my sensitive skin. It takes about 6 minutes to get an awesome shave with this. Once done shaving I rinse the lotion off my face with cold water and splash some after shave on and feel great.

Only reason for not giving 5 stars is because the trimmer that comes with it basically sucks. It trims hair ok but it's weak. Also the "travel case" is just a stupid neoprene like wrap.

My norelco moisturizing shaving system is as follows by LV, Torrance California.

very brefly, I am a 79 year old man and, after many electric razors mostly norelco, I have owned, this is he best one yet.

Smooth shave, no more razor burn.

I am 100% satisfied with this razor---only one problem, the moisturizing cream is very expensive, but worth it.
 
3 Star Rating  "Not worth the hassle"2009-11-04
- Reviewed By User: A37GZ1ZF5VBCRL
At first I thought this was the greatest razor ever. It provides a smooth shave, probably the best shave I've ever encountered. I have very sensitive skin, so I have to be selective. First impressions: It is a very sleek and cool looking razor. It is so fancy, that I am afraid of breaking it every time I touch it. The problem with this razor is not its performance, rather it is the maintenance. The lotion is expensive, and to make things worse, it is nearly impossible to find, unless you are willing to spend lots of money and buy it online. But, the razor works, so I stuck it out.

Next problem: Norelco suggests that you replace the cartridge for sanitary reasons each time you refill the lotion. OK, but when I ordered the lotion (which is supposed to come with the cartridge), THERE WAS NO CARTRIDGE! So, I decided to stick it out anyway. Each time I replaced the lotion, I would just remove the cartridge and clean it myself. That seemed fine, until this morning when I accidentally broke a piece of this fragile cartridge. Now, I can't get the lotion to come out, so the razor is ineffective. I tried to buy a new lotion with cartridge at Target, and the lotion came without the cartridge, so I have to return it.

I know Phillips-Norelco has excellent customer service, so I called to see if they could help me. It turns out that the lotion does not always come with the cartridge (although it is advertised that way and I was told that it came with the cartridge by a customer service rep before I bought the razor). So, it's kind of like a little guessing game. Where can I find the lotion and cartridge together? Fun! I asked if they could just send me some cartridges, no lotion, just cartridges and I'd be happy. But they could not do that, so I am going to return this razor and get my money back.

I still have a previous Norelco shaver (dry) and I will try that again, although it is not as good. I think in the end I may have to resort back to the painful manual razor shave. I have been a Norelco customer for many years and up to this point I was always very pleased, this is disappointing.

To summarize: This is an excellent razor, but it is not worth the money or the hassle you have to go through to make it work effectively!

I welcome any shaving advice to help my sensitive skin!
 
2 Star Rating  "Norelco 8040x Is Not as Good as my old Norelco Advantage"2009-10-29
- Reviewed By User: AL49ZUCZIVVES
I am 66 years old and have been shaving with Norelco electric shavers since I was 16 -- making me a 50 year user of Norelco shavers. When my 9 or 10 year old Norelco Advantage stopped holding a battery charge last month, I bought a Norelco 8040x, the next generation of wet-drive shavers...and threw my old Norelco Advantage in the waste basket.
After a couple of days shaving with my new 8040x, I realized (and my wife agreed) that it did not shave nearly as close as my old Norelco Advantage did.
The day before my scheduled garbage pick-up I rummaged through the garbage in my trash can and found my old Norelco Advantage. After being in the trash can for nearly a week, I discovered that it would once again hold a battery charge. (It must have learned its lesson being in the garbage for nearly a week!) For three days I shaved one side with my old Norelco Advantage and the other side with my new Norelco 8040x. There was no comparison. My old Advantage gave me a much closer shave than the new Norelco 8040x.
I telephoned the Norelco 800 number to get an authorization for returning it under their 30 days satisfaction guarantee, and they are going to send me a return authorization and will refund me my purchase price.
At age 66, I figure I have maybe 20 more years of shaving ahead of me, but if the shaving closeness of new Norelco's is as bad as the 8040x, maybe I ought to buy a couple of the old Norelco Advantage shavers from e-bay or someplace and store them up to use for the rest of my life. Paul D.D.
 
4 Star Rating  "Works perfect for me, but not perfect for everyone."2009-10-11
- Reviewed By User: A1M3PZ4UX3GPMO
I love shaving in the shower. This shaver works great for that purpose. I don't use the propriety Nivea shaving moisturizer; I just use a small dollop of Nivea's regular shaving gel ($3 for a large canister available anywhere) and that works fine. It is a little slower than my old Norelco Advantage in that it requires several passes over an area to get a nice shave. The flexible head design is amazing; it can really get that stubborn neck hair that my old shaver used to miss. The open design makes it not that great for dry shaving as the hair gets everywhere, but I use it 98% of the time in the shower that that is not a big issue for me.

The reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is due to it's charging mechanism. Charging the shaver in 4 hours sounds like a good idea, but the manual strictly admonishes against overcharging. Hence, it is actually a bit of a pain. If I bought the low-end shaver that charges in 8 hours, I'd charge it in the morning and it would be ready when I get home from work. If I bought the high-end shaver that charges in 2 hours, I can plug it in whenever I feel like and unplug it 2 hours later. A 4 hour charging time requires a larger block of time for me to have to remember to charge the thing. Why couldn't Norelco make a charger that automatically shuts off or goes to trickle charge when the battery is full? Also, why the need for a base? It takes up counter space in my bathroom and is bulky for traveling. My old shaver did not have a base and was great for travel as the AC adapter plugged directly into the razor.

If I had to do it all over again, I'd probably buy the 8020x and save myself $25.
 
4 Star Rating  "No real improvement over older models"2009-09-18
- Reviewed By hfe
I have owned and used an early model of this razor, known as the Norelco Advantage for perhaps eight or so years. This has been, and still remains, a great razor if used properly. During my ownership of the Norelco Advantage razor I have had only one maintenance action, and that was the replacement of the battery about three years ago at a cost of about $43.

About a week ago I accidentally knocked this older razor off its base and, unfortunately, the razor ended up on the bathroom tile floor. It still works as well as ever, however, but the razor is now quite hard to close to its proper operating position so I opted to buy the new model 8040X since, after all, the older model had really worked for me over a long period of time, and maybe the newer model would have some worthwhile advantages.

What I have observed, however, is that the new model has no advantages, but one significant disadvantage. The new model must be left on charge no more that four hours to prevent battery damage, whereas I could leave the old model on charge all day, which provided me with about two weeks of shaving before the next required charge. The old model could also run about a week with only a one hour charge. I have also noted that Norelco now supplies a flimsy plastic construction of the razor, whereas the older razor was much more rugged, a not surprising evolution of articles of this kind.

One other point which pertains to both the old and the new model -- there is no need to use the Nivea shaving lotion supplied by Norelco. On the contrary, the need to push an additional button during shaving is actually distracting, at least for me. My shaving procedure is, after taking a shower, to first wash my face thoroughly with liquid soap and hot water, leaving the soap lather on my face. I then apply a moderate amount of skin lotion (I use Dermalube, but most skin lotions will do) over my face evenly, and then proceed to shave without using any Nivea lotion. I find this procedure to be both superior and much less expensive than using the Nivea lotion.

In summary, the new model 8040X provides the same comfortable wet shave experience as the older model, but don't look for any improvements.
