Same shave as the older vintage Norelco shavers.
I purchased this shaver as a gift for my husband and he has submitted the following review:<br /><br />I have the an older Norelco that does not have a pivoting head and the extra shaving slots.  I thought the new shaver would have one-up on my older Norelco so I ordered the 9160XL.  Well, in my opinion, there was no difference in the quality of shave nor a reduction in shaving time. So I returned the shaver and will continue to use my less featured, older model.  I would, however, have ordered and been very satisfied with the 9160XL if I didn't already have a Norelco as I do feel it is the best electric shaver on the market---and I've tried most all of them!
