Review of Norelco 7735X Coolskin Cordless Rechargeable Shaver

This shaver performed a very good effective close shave.It seemed to have shaved more closely and quickly than the Braun and Panasonic shavers I had owned over the past 7 years (I travel alot and end up losing them eventually!)

However here's some very annoying things I found out after 2 months of using this shaver:
1.It takes a couple of seconds or three to get the shaver on it's base properly. It's not so intuitive.The shaver is positioned in an angle and the base is shallow which makes it a little more difficult task than it should be.
2.The trimmer attachment is a huge chore to attach especially if you're running out the door.You must turn off the razor, gently pry the razor heads off, gently attach the trimmer, and then complete your morning shave.I wish for my old Braun which had a flip up trimmer.Bam!It's done!
3.The little rubber green piece where the cream comes out has come off and I can't get it to go back the way it was.

Overall, this shaver actually performed a great shave.But it is too much of a delicate design for my taste.If you can imagine yourself in the context of when this is used:early morning, you're grumpy, you're in a hurry, and you're stressed about something at work, you don't want this as the shaver that you use everyday!

Good luck in your search.

Review of Philips Norelco 7735X Cool Skin Lotion Dispensing Shaver

After experiencing some promising yet disappointing results with my Quadra Action shaver, I did some investigating and decided to purchase a new electric shaver.Closeness of shave and neck irritation have been two problems for me, so I made the decision to try a wet/dry shaver.Having had decent results with my Quadra Action, I impulse-bought a Norelco Cool Skin 7735X.After the first shave I was impressed.Today, after the second shave, all I can say is "WOW."For once, (and I'm 100% serious) the result was a shave every bit as close as a blade with almost NO irritation!This shaver is beautiful!My only concerns are that is feels 'cheap.'However, there is a 2 yr guarantee, so that shouldn't be an issue.Second, Norelco really needs to jump on the bandwagon and NOT use NiCad batteries.The unit requires an 8 hour charge for 40 mins of cordless shaving.The unit also includes a charging holster which is cumbersome and will not fit in the included travel pouch.Also, despite being a wet/dry razor, Norelco suggests you always use the lotion packs for 'best results.'Funnily enough, I asked a representative on their site if you could use your own shaving gel/cream and they said no and that using anything other than the Nivea packets may 'damage' the shaver.Uh, ok.However, so far so good.Norelco says 1 Nivea packet should last a week, so 5 packets per $5 pack x 365 days = about $52 a year on top of the price of the shaver for the Nivea packs.How soon until we see a store-brand knock-off for the packs?I'll keep you posted...

Review of Norelco Cool Skin 7735X/7737X cordless shaver (factory reconditioned)

Razor has lived up to most expectations. I have a tough beard but was tired of bleeding. Easy to use and lotion feature is nice. The profile states the sideburn trimmer is a standard feature. Upon calling Shavestore the guy blew me off quickly and said they do not come with the trimmer. Also that he does not recondition or package it and I need to call the folks that do. I did get a better response from them. Very polite and actually sent me a trimmer no charge. Middle man Shavestore was not very nice about it.
