Better Than Expected
I've been using Norelco shavers for past 18 years, so I've always liked their product.  Before I bought this item, I had an old (12 years old) Norelco that I wanted to replace.  My brother had bought the 9160XL shaver a while ago and after I checked it out, I thought it looked nice and was much quieter than the older model that I had.  I didn't use his to see how well it would shave, so I decided to take a chance and buy it based on his recommendation.  However, I was skeptical about how good it would shave because it was too quiet.  After I bought and received the shaver, my very first shave was simply great.  I can't recall the last shave I had that made my face this smooth.  The shave is so close that I don't get a "5 o'clock" shadow until the next day!  Another very important thing is that after shaving, I don't get a burning/irritating sensation with this shaver.  I don't have sensitive skin but my old Norelco would sometimes irritate my skin.<br />I also liked the face-contouring elements that they have added to this shaver.  I don't have to fight and press the shaver as hard on my face to get the blades to touch my skin.<br />Cleaning the 9160XL is breeze; just rinse with water and let dry.  Battery life is great too.  I have used this for 2 months (over 30 shaves) and it still has 1/3 of its charge left!<br />I would strongly recommend this shaver.
