Good Complement to a Great Shaver
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.

Cool Skin Lotion
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!

Not as announced
Instructions say it lasts for 3 months under normal usage. Mine got finished in less than 30 days!!!
