Review of the Philips Norelco Nivea for Men Razor (HS8420/20)

September 27th, 2010

If you’re looking for mens electric shavers with few details and with a very simple design, you might want to take a look at the HS8420/20 Philips Norelco Nivea Razor. Though it is simple, it remains very sleek, and then some.

The simple but functional design goes with a good hand grip and battery status indicator. These are pretty much some of the few basic features that you’d want to see in mens electric shavers. But, despite the simple engineering, this unit is capable of more.

Since it is a Nivea product, one of its main features is the Nivea shaving lotion that the razor dispenses. You do not have to worry about taking time in placing cream before shaving. It already has it built in. With a click of a button, you can accomplish this more efficiently.

The lotion helps prepare your face for a close shave. It softens the facial hair so that you can remove the hair easily while soothing and moisturizing your skin at the same time. And just right after, you get to have a light and pleasant scent for an aftershave. The contained shaving lotion is made up of Natural Microtec. This composition lessens irritation caused by the pressure in shaving.

For price somewhere around $70, this electric razor can be used for wet shaving only. The razor has 3 shaving heads that are circular. They act as massagers at the same time. While shaving, it lifts your face, thereby allowing for close and tight shaving. It is a rotary shave that follows the contour of your face for a smooth shave. The lotion leaves your skin feeling prepped up and clean.

However, the HS8420/20 Philips Norelco Nivea Razor lacks a beard trimmer and cannot be used for heavy duty shaving. When using it, you tend to use up a sizeable amount of lotion. And, you need to refill it. The very common qualms are the costly lotion refill which you really need to buy because it goes well with the razor. Since you cannot use it for dry shaving, you have to use shaving lotion with it.

This unit also uses a rechargeable battery unit. Although a recharging stand goes with the package, some users find it somewhat time-consuming to recharge the battery. As for the heads, they are replaceable in case they don’t function well anymore.

Despite a few downsides to the Philips Norelco Nivea for Men Razor (HS8420/20), it remains to be one of the well-loved mens electric shavers on the planet.
