Even Better than my last Spectra
The newer pivoting head is great as it does help the transition from face to neck and catches the hairs a lot quicker than the multiple passes I had to make with the Noreclo Spectra I had that it is replacing.<br /><br />The shaving is much quicker too, took me about 4 minutes with the Spectra with new blades to get a full shave while the 9170 is about 2 minutes.  It just seems to catch the many stuble on my face that go in many directions.<br /><br />The cleaning system works fine, just as long as you change the fluid as stated.  I like using the cleaning system better than rinsing under hot water like I had to do with the spectra.  It is less of my time needed.<br /><br />I am thoroughly impressed with this latest model.  I bought the Spectra before because I wanted to be able to adjust the razor tension for my sensitive skin, this new model does this also, but my face seems less prone to irritation with the settings set to a firmer one, given than I need less time for the razors to pass over my face.
