The Norelco 7735X CoolSkin Lotion Dispensing Razor features a built-in lotion system that dispenses Nivea for Men shaving gel or lotion.

Designed to be used in or out of the shower, the 7735X provides an unparalleled, refreshing shave experience and the ultimate in versatility. A simple push of the button dispenses just the right amount of Nivea for Men lotion or gel onto the shaving head, and the patented Glide Rings then distribute the lotion evenly, keeping in constant contact with the skin. The lotion and gel are vitamin-enriched to moisturize, and the alcohol-free formulas will not dry or irritate the skin. This process allows whiskers to soften, resulting in a less irritating, more soothing shave.

The CoolSkin also features Norelco's signature floating head design that continuously adjusts to the contours of the face. The design also integrates improved "Lift and Cut" technology for the ultimate in closeness. With stainless steel blades, Norelco's dual blade system gently lifts hair to cut below the skin level. And the raised head design is easily washable via a quick cleaning system that allows for easy flow-through when cleaning under a faucet -- simply rinse the razor under your faucet after each use for a clean, fresh shave time-after-time.

For safe, easy use in the shower, Norelco designed the 7735X with an anti-slip grip for convenient handling, wet or dry. The hair collection chamber captures shaven hairs for easy post-shave clean-up, and the full width click-on trimmer attachment defines and shapes mustaches and sideburns. The razor charges in eight hours, and a full charge delivers 40 minutes of shaving time. Plus, with the LED battery charging/full indicator light, you'll never find yourself looking scruffy in the morning with a dead battery in your CoolSkin. The charger base plugs into any standard wall outlet. The CoolSkin features a full two-year warranty and a 60-day money-back guarantee.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great razor, "close as a blade", September 13, 2004

I like this razor very much. I am indeed getting blade-close shaves, but I think it is important to use the razor properly if you expect that close of a shave. I get the best results by pressing lightly against my face (despite my instinct to push harder to shave closer) and moving the head around somewhat slowly. I also get good results with the lotion when I have rinsed the head off with water. It dilutes the rather thick lotion and seems like it works better.

As an industrial designer, I have a few minor issues with the product design. First, I agree with one of the reviews that the 'goo' button is poorly placed. It takes a pause and two hands to operate the lotion dispenser. Second, the charger does not provide a positive stop or click or anything when the shaver is placed into it to charge... it kind of slides around in the charger ambiguously. Also, the manual recommends to unplug the charger after the charge is complete. I don't know if battery performance is affected over time if you regularly leave it plugged in over the weekend, but I don't want to have to think about it. It doesn't seem too hard to include circuitry which makes unplugging unnecessary. Third (fourth?) the colors/materials choices are a little fruity for my taste. I think mine is different from the Amazon image. It has a fair amount of fluorescent yellow, and the super glossy, irridescent housing looks like a pair of vinyl rave pants. Maybe at 30 I'm too old for this shaver's demographic.

All in all a great product, and I got a $20 rebate from Norelco.

4.0 out of 5 stars Cost Cutting Makes This Otherwise Good Shaver Fall Short, March 20, 2005

This review is from: Philips Norelco 7735X Cool Skin Lotion Dispensing Shaver (Health and Beauty)

For years I've had a difficult time getting a close shave and a shave with minimal irritation. I've tried several of the Mach 3 variants with little success. Against or with the grain the Mach 3 would miss random places on my throat (especially around the adam's apple). I quit the Mach 3 even though the shave was otherwise close because the irriation it left made me unable to make a second pass. My Norelco Reflex Action series left me high and dry. That's right, it didn't cut anywhere and left me burnt all over. Most days it looked like I didn't even shave.

Angered over years of horrible shaving, I decided I would treat myself for my birthday. I was seriously considering Brauns and Panasonic's high end razors but decided against it because there was no clearly outlined guarantee if it didn't get as close as I'd like. Norelco on the other had advertises their's quite well and after reading a few reviews, I decided (...) I would take the plunge.

Here is my take after using a dry electric shaver for the past 2 years plus a weeks experience with the 7735x:

Pros:
1. Gets darn close for an electric. Not quite Mach3 but more then satisfactory. It does miss a bit around the adam's apple but nothing I can't live with.
2. Leaves me with almost no irritation. In fact, I can shave 3 times a day with this thing if I feel like it! Very impressed on the combination of closeness and lack of irritation.
3. Very easy clean up - just run under hot water.
4. Nivea lotion packs are easy to load and administer while shaving. They also really contribute to the feel of the shave.
5. The shaver itself is well built and sturdy.
6. Quiet.

Cons:
1. Cost-Cutting abound!!
2. Cheap charging unit that does not automatically shut off after full charge is reached!
3. Ni-Cad batteries.
4. Cheap Strap for letting the shaver hang out and dry.
5. Cheap/useless carrying case.
6. The shaver's "cap" falls off too easily.
7. Norelco recommends you run the shaver to empty before recharging. This can be a big problem if the battery runs dry and you need to shave - there's no way to plug the shaver into the wall and use it.
8. I can't for the life of me (and after reading the instructions 5 times) figure out how to get the shaving head off to put the trimmer attachment on.

Despite its near endless line of drawbacks, you do get a good shave with the 7735x. I couldn't stop rubbing my neck and face after the first shave (and it seems the shave gets better the more I use it). Oh yeah and the shocking part, I look forward to getting up at 6am just to shave! Yeah!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Very Good Electric Shaver for Sensitive Skin, October 14, 2005

By

This review is from: Philips Norelco 7735X Cool Skin Lotion Dispensing Shaver (Health and Beauty)

As someone with very sensitive skin, I have always had problems with razor burn after shaving. Dry electric shavers tend to butcher my skin. Traditional multi-blade razors (like the Mach 3) are easier on my skin, but as sensitive as my skin is, cuts are not uncommon. A few months ago I received a Norelco 7735X Cool Skin Additive In/Out of Shower Shaver as a gift and gave it a try. Thanks to the shaving gel that can be applied to the skin at the touch of a button while shaving, it provides a very close shave that doesn't cut my skin like a traditional razor, and there's very little skin irritation afterwards. As for closeness, I'd say that it's almost as good as a Mach 3 razor.

One aspect about this shaver that I like is that it operates from a rechargeable battery so that there's no electric cord to get in the way while shaving. Also, the shaving gel packets are easy to replace, it comes with a charger stand, it's easy to clean the rotating blades and it takes up little bathroom counter space. Further, it takes less time to shave and clean-up afterwards than with a traditional razor & shaving cream.

Overall, I regard the Norelco 7735X Cool Skin Additive In/Out of Shower Shaver as a very good shaver and rate it with 5 out of 5 stars. Granted, it is somewhat expensive, but if you have very sensitive skin like me, you might be as pleasantly surprised as I was with its performance.
