If you’ve been thinking about upgrading your shaving game, the Philips Norelco Shaver 8000 just popped up at Costco and it’s worth a serious look.
This is a premium rotary electric shaver with a flexible head that moves in eight directions to follow the contours of your face and neck. It’s designed for both wet and dry use, so you can use it in the shower with shaving cream or go for a quick dry shave when you’re in a rush.
The Norelco 8000 series sits in the upper-mid range of Philips shavers, and it shows in the build quality. The dual steel precision blades are self-sharpening, which means they should stay effective for a long time. That said, rotary shavers aren’t for everyone – if you’re used to foil shavers, there’s definitely an adjustment period.
The Costco kit incudes: shaver, charging base, travel case, shaver cleaning station, cleaning solution, and nose hair trimmer.
