The razor does what it was designed to do
Having used the disposable razors now for 25 plus years i decided to try an electric razor again, given the fact your considered a terrorist if you have shaving cream cans in your luggage while traveling, the electric razor seemed like a viable solution. After much reviewing i decided to go with the 9160xl at christmas, it was almost march before i recharged it, and after a few days of use, i was used to how it works, its much faster to complete a shave, trim my mustache and gote, and off i go with no worries of water on my shirt, or shaving cream to wipe off. You can also shave while walking around as your not tied to the sink and running water to clear off the razor. The key to any battery operated device is to properly charge it when you first place it on the bathroom sink. And do not return it to the charger until the shaver shows low battery, that way you keep the battery life good. And yes its quiet. Does not sound like a small airplane nor does it make a high pitched whinning noise. Comments about not having power or cutting of skin are ridiculous, i have never had a problem, all i do is clean it out each use, and rinse the head out when the razor indicates it wants a water cleaning. Simple as that, follow the instructions, and youll be fine. Remember the key to the battery as that is the life of the razor, same rules apply to your cell phone.<br />Good luck.
