    Tesco (in-store only) were selling Philips Nivea Coolskin HS8020 Electric Shavers for £33 a few weeks ago so might be worth check out to see if they've any in stock.

    I've been shaving now for over 25yrs and have to say I don't believe it when any of these companies pronounce their products are for "sensitive skin". In my opinion I think this is just a gimmick. I’ve suffered from sensitive skin around the neck since I started shaving and haven’t found any of these products help at all, though saying that, shaving with an electric shaver does appear to help regardless of the type I use. The only thing with electric shavers is they don’t give a close shave regardless of the type purchased, and recently I’ve gone back to using wet razors due to the fact that you get a much better shave.

    The rash around my neck from shaving with a wet shaver has calmed a bit since after using an electric shaver but I still notice it. I’ve learnt to put up with it. And anyway nobody comments on it so doesn’t matter to me even though I’m conscience of it.
