Norelco
Cool Skin Lotion Dispensing Razor
 Norelco
makes a range of four shavers that it describes as "cool skin lotion
dispensing razors" and which it says are recommended for previous blade
users. The top-of-the-line model is the 7775X (pictured).
Amazon.com
used to offer a very useful "Shaver Shopping Made Easy"
page,
which
listed
three “silver
medal” shavers, one of them the
Norelco 7775X.
About the silver
medalists, it said:
These sturdy shavers were chosen to be our
Second-in-Command Stallions. Each of them feature technology that brings
them a step above the rest, and they offer bells 'n whistles (including
wet/dry options, automatic charging capability, or more), at lower prices
than their peers.
The
Norelco website said about the 7775X shaver (no longer online):
Shave in or out of the shower. NIVEA for Men shaving lotion and gel leave
your face feeling smooth and refreshed. Lotion and gel are vitamin enriched
to moisturize, and the alcohol-free formulas will not dry or irritate the
skin....Raised head design allows for easy flow through cleaning under
faucet. Simply rinse razor under faucet after each use for easy
cleaning....Dual blade system gently lifts hair to cut below skin
level....Adjusts to every curve on your face for flexible, smoother shaving.
Unfortunately, it is difficult to find independent and objective reviews of
electric shavers on the internet. However, the consumer reviews on sales
sites like Amazon.com and Epinions are often extremely useful. Here's a
review from Amazon.com, from a reviewer who awarded the shaver four
stars (out of five):
I have been using this razor for about a year and three months and it is
great. I have dropped it a couple of times and it has completly disassembled
itself, but I just put it back together and it still works perfectly. The
Nivea product is good for my dry face.
In my opinion there are two negatives to this product. (1) It is really
difficult to shave my lower neck area without the razor pinching me and (2)
The shave that you get is NOT as close as a blade... I don't care if it IS
Norelco's slogan for this product. However, the shave is close enough for
me. It just means that if you have a light beard like me, you will still
have to shave every day (when I shaved with a razor I could go a couple of
days between shaves)
Besides the two negatives I mentioned, I think that this is a great product
and I would recommend it if you are in the market for an electric razor.
