The Nivea for Men HS800 shaving conditioner coupled with the Philips Norelco 8020X, 8040X or 8060X Cool Skin shaver makes for a great shaving experience. This conditioner is just that, a conditioner and not a shaving cream or gel. For best results when using this product in the shower, stay away from the water stream or splashes. The conditioner breaks down rather quickly in water. This requires more of the product to be dispensed to keep the shaving heads gliding over your face.

I like the scent and when used with other Nivea for Men products they complement each other well. This item typically comes with a replacement cartridge, which snaps on the back of the latest generation Cool Skin shavers. The last two bottles I have purchased did not come with a replacement . Per an email from Philips Norelco, cartridge production ran out, but the cartridges will again be included.

The refill system is an ease to use. I have the 8020X shaver and have to manually refill the cartridge. There are no drips or mess. It helps to wait a second between pumps as it seems to expand a little in the cartridge. This will ensure you don't fill over the max fill line and waist product.

In addition to shaving my face I also shave my head. I dispense a lot of shaving conditioner when shaving my head. In an effort to same money, I now apply Nivea for Men shaving gel directly to my head and dispense the conditioner on my face. This system works well for me.

The Cool Skin lotion works okay but seems to not last as long as the packets of lotion (HQ170 packets) lasted on the previous generation razor. This product is also more expensive than the previous generation of lotion ($7.99 compared to $5.00). I was forced to buy online because after I bought the razor and one lotion refill bottle at a local WALGREENS last December, the lotion and razor have both disappeared from store shelves. I have looked at Wal-Mart, CVS, Walgreens, etc. only to find that no one sells this product. Most Disappointing!

Used this with the Philips Norelco 8020x moisturizing system and it was unbelievable. Even my wife commented on how soft my skin was after using it.

By the way, another reviewer gave this item a poor review because he didn't like the smell. I think it smells great. But that's completely subjective. Now, if it smelled absolutely terrible of course I would take maybe a star but unless you are planing on using your shaving conditioner as your cologne, this is completely irrelevant. I have very sensitive skin and I had the best shave I've had in years. Part of the credit goes to the Norelco but still as conditioner, this baby did an incredible job.

Best stuff i ever used to assist in shaving. Really, really takes the sting out of shaving with an electric razor.

Instructions say it lasts for 3 months under normal usage. Mine got finished in less than 30 days!!!

I love this shaving system. I have the model that refils automatically. This is probably my seventh Norelco. I have a tough beard & soft skin. I think a lot of people are in the same boat. The dry razors just make my face & neck look like hamburger. This is fantastic. My only complaint, & it has nothing to do with the razor, is that I only get 3 to 4 weeks out of the can of shaving conditioner. I know it says lasts UP to 3 months but I'm not even coming close to that. I only press the despensing button 4 to 5 times during a shave & I don't hold it down. If anyone out there is getting more than a month please let me know the secret. I have had the razor 4 months & I am now on can number 5.

To save money I tried using my Norelco 8020x using a applied creme instead of the built in dispenser. While it did work this internal creme works so much better.

the nivea cream does a good job at lubricating the razor. i get no skin burn from shaving; can't say the same about previous "dry" norelcos. my only complaint is the size/amount. i would figure that the reservoir on the razor would need to be filled about as often as the battery needs to be recharged. in use, i get about 2.5 shaves from each fill while the battery lasts for more than a week. this is especially bad for the ".5" shave; if you forget to top up before starting, the wet walk to fill it up in the middle of your shower is no fun at all.

Bought my husband the new shaving system for Christmas but could not find the conditioner refill go go with it. Pleased to find that Amazon had many places that had it. Shipping was quick and price was compairable.
