Review (5/5): Great combo of price, performance, and features
First let me say I don't have thick facial hair and can almost get away with shaving every other day. My very first shaver was a Norelco -- since then I've tried razors (not worth the effort or cuts) and foil shavers (not a close shave and I have to go over areas, especially under the chin, over and over again). Since I don't have to shave much, I didn't want to spend much on a shaver, so I tried a Braun 1775 and I just got tired of the noise, vibration, and rough shave. Plus, the foil head is too delicate and gets damaged easily (I went through 2). I decided to go back to a Norelco, did some research and found the 8160XLCC. The price was reasonable and it had the features I wanted, especially the charge level indicator lights. I've had it for a couple of months now and I really love it -- it gives me a quick, close, comfortable shave, it's quiet and has good battery life, and you can clean it by running it under the tap without taking anything apart. It's also more comfortable to hold than the foil shaver. Also, the rotary heads are indestructible compared to foil shavers. Haven't used the cleaning system, doesn't really seem necessary.
