The Philips Nivea For Men HS8460 is an electric shaver promises to give you the ultimate shaving experience and leave your skin soft and smooth with its shaver heads that diffuse moisture. Skin irritation is not an issue with this shaver thanks to its Microtec technology and the precision trimmer is very useful for trimming your moustaches and sideburns. Recharging the batteries of the shaver as well as refilling the moisturizer compartment is also quite easy, you just have to place it back on its stand and it will do the rest.
Although I still feel that the better quality conventional razors are much better for an overall comfortable shaving experience than any electric shaver available today, the HS8460 has a few noticeable improvements when compared to other run-of-the-mill shavers. It is certainly much less bulky and less noisy than many other shavers; it’s also very comfortable to hold in your hand because of its smaller size, providing an excellent grip.
The shaver charges in just about 1.5 hours and provides you with more or less the same shaving time. Using the Coolskin feature is easy and effective as the can fills up the moisturizer automatically upon placing the shaver on the stand, hence filling up is a no brainer. The most advisable way to use it would be on a slightly wet face, which is when it almost feels like you’re gliding a pencil eraser across your face rather than a razor. The need to use an aftershave lotion is also reduced as it leaves your face very well moisturized after the shave, not unlike wet shaving with a good moisturizing gel cream.
However, along with the advantages there are a couple of let downs in this shaver as well. You have to change the head to use the trimmer; I would have preferred to have a pop out one. Taking the blade heads out for cleaning can be tricky as well; you have to turn the blade heads which is a bit difficult in the first go. All in all you get a fair package for the price you pay, a great HS8460 electric shaver with very few deal breaking qualities.
