Cheap coolskin electric razor

Darwin

I recently purchased this coolskin shaver from the same ebay seller. This is the American version (branded Norelco) of the Philishave HQ7782 which was retailing here for over 200 euro. Comes to 54 euro or thereabouts including shipping. It's a refurb, basically a new shaver that has been repackaged. Not a bad deal at all!

Nice one. I got the philishave for xmas as a present (cost> €200) so I'm going to return that and I've ordered this.

ditto, thanks darwin, now fingers crossed there'll be no duty added when it arrives here

In the event you missed out on the initial offer the seller is also selling the same

shaver with added trimmer for an extra $10 which works out at €64 incl P+P.

So has anyone received this yet. Were you caught for import tax on it. I assume that the fact that its going by UPS, there is a very likely chance of been caught.

Ghost Train

this is from a different seller, but seems a small bit cheaper than original offer

edit no trimmer with this like the 2nd offer posted

Darwin

Glad to share the bargain around I didn't get caught for duty anyway, in the event you do, it shouldn't be that much. Shipping is by USPS (as opposed to UPS the courier company), so lesser chance of being stopped.

I see these flat pins on the plug of the power cord.
Does mean an adapter is required?

Darwin

Yes, a US 2-pin to 3-pin shaver adaptor is needed - you can pick up one in any DIY store for around 2 or 3 euro.

ordered one - thanks for the heads up

the same guy has them for sale again, just wondering if they're any good? i've never used an electric and just wondering if those who've received them rate this one?

getoffthepot

Got one of these but not going to keep it.

I'm very happy with mine, but this is the first electric shaver that I've ever used...

Stark

Just got mine.

2 annoyances:

1. I don't seem to have gotten the sideburn trimmer attachment? Did anyone else get one?

2. That charging stand is the most annoying thing ever! The shaver keeps falling out of it. Is there a way to make it fit properly into the stand?

Other than that, fantastic shave. Even when I don't use the lotion, it gives a closer shave and is less irritating that my previous wet shave routine.

/Agree. Very happy with mine also. There is no sideburn trimmer but then we're not in the seventies anymore.

I find that it is a knack to slotting it in. My Gripe is that after a week of use the battery charge lights showed two on but it stopped suddenly. I got the expected use out of the charge though so I can only assume it is a battery power learning thing. I will see how it goes after the second charge.

I didn't get charged for import either.

How long did you leave it charging the first time?

It's also a moustache trimmer. Okay, point taken

8 hours. It has been fine since. Very happy with it and it gives a great shave at traffic lights.

the one i got came from here, first one linked to in the thread, the thing is vacum packed in plastic like new

pretty happy with the razor, did find when bettery is low it just stops, so i guess you have to keep an eye on the meter

just noticed the razor i linked to on the first page is a totally different model sorry bout that

youcancallmeal

Out of all these what would people recommend. Is the cool skin thing with the Nivea dispenser jjust a gimmick or does it really work?

savemejebus

ordered mine from here, worked out at €48 delivered

techguy
