 No nonsense, good value refill November 24, 2009

Easy to replace with no mess or fuss, this pack should keep you shaving smoothly for another 6-12 months, depending on the frequency of your regular shave. I don't usually have a full clean shave more than three times a week, so this pack should last a full year, as the unit dispenses the cream quite efficiently and economically. That said, even very frequent shavers should get at least half a year out of this pack - good value.
The cream is touted as 'improved formula', although I didn't notice a big difference - it's still pretty great at minimising razor rash. As ever, Nivea is a skincare brand that really works, and I've noticed a marked improvement in my skin post-shaving. Replacing them couldn't be easier - especially if you have the full shaving unit with the nifty charge / refill base.
A good, essential buy for Philips HS8000 series owners.
Fill 'er up! November 24, 2009

The Philips Coolskin shavers are great for shaving without all that redness and part of the reason for this is the Nivea cream that gets dispensed while you shave.
Of course, the downside is that this cream eventually runs out and you need to refill it. These packs, then, are essential to the shaver and it's a good job that they're fairly inexpensive.
If you're using the shaver as directed then you'll really only need to buy one of these packs a year. There are three jars of cream which either refill the shaver directly or fit into the stand (depending on your shaver model), each should last about 4 months, though in practice I found myself using them a bit more frequently. It's just a case of twisting the lid and it's ready to go, pretty simple.
Also in the box is a replacement back cover for the shaver. My first coolskin had a problem with the back leaking all over the place, so this came in very useful.
All in all, these represent good value for money, even if they don't last quite as long as they say.

I have been a user of Nivea for Men shavers for quite a few years due to the need for a more comfortable shave. In the past cartridges were always inserted into the shaver, but more recently I purchased a Philips HS8060 which requires the use of these cartridges containing the unique Nivea Shaving Balm.
This pack comes with 3 cartridges, each lasts me around 3 months roughly, so almost a years worth in this handy pack. Also included is the part of the shaver that contains the shaving balm, these used to come with an individual purchase of the shaving balm but it seems they have now stopped doing this and opted to include in the larger packs.
The balm is easily dispensed into the shaver if doing it manually or if like me you have the charging/refill stand it's simply a case of inserting the cartridge and letting it do it for you. The balm itself helps immensely when I shave, having sensitive skin it can leave my skin with a burning sensation after shaving, but as long as I use the Nivea for Men it works out fine. If you've purchased a Nivea for Men shaver this really is the only stuff you can use to ease your shaving, don't run on empty be sure to stock up!
Brilliant- and necessary November 21, 2009

If liek me you have one of the cool Phillips electric razors (and who wouldn't- everything else looks rubbish compared to it!), then this is vital.
It is worth saying that these are double the size of the one that comes with the electric razors. I reckon that there is enough here for about a years worth of shaving.
So in my book, that makes this cheaper than ebay.
In short- you + phillips elctric razor= buy this.
