More Cheaply Made   September 4, 2008
David Ness
I just received the 9160XL today to replace my previous model #7864XL, and am a bit underwhelmed. It feels cheaper to hold than my previous Norelco model, and upon close inspection of the screens and cutting wheels, my old "1-track" 7-series were of a much higher quality and had a much greater degree of precision with regard to holes & slits than this new 3-track (Speed-XL) model. Comparing them up close, it's really disappointing. Also, the charging base has a cheap feel and should be weighted. I would have expected much better quality for $140.


Surprise!   August 31, 2008

I hesitate on buying an electric rasor, but it really surprised me. To be honest it's not as close as an ordinary shave, but it is amazing. Very close shaving and with no blood :-). Excellent for me.

The shaver is light and seems to do a good job. I am using it as a back up shaver at the present time. I do not have any complaints.


So Done with my 5 Blade Razor!   August 13, 2008

I have the second toughest beard on the planet. Right behind Bigfoot. I let my beard go from Thursday until Monday morning. My shaver arrived Saturday. This would be the test to end all shaving tests. I was shocked to get such a close shave from an electric shaver. I just had never bought one as my beard is so tough to cut and I figured an electric shaver would never work on my beard. Even with my razor, it takes a couple swipes in some areas of my face and neck. I did need to run over the same areas a few times with the shaver to get it all, but it worked like I never beleive it could. My shave was very close to razer close. There was only mild skin irritation after shaving, but I get that regardless even with a razor. I am so done with my 5 blade razor and shaving cream mess. No need to ever go back. I'll give my razor and shaving cream to Bigfoot and keep my electric shaver.


Better than expected   August 5, 2008
N. Kamaci (San Jose, CA)
I have very sensitive skin that makes it very difficult for me to use an electric shaver regularly. I cannot shave every day even if I use a good blade and take a nice shower. That being said, I use this electric shaver occasionally (like while I am on a trip and such). Although it is battery operated, I found the shaver powerful enough. It does irritate my skin a bit, but not more than I expected. And the shave is not as smooth as you would get using a good blade, but very close. It is far better than the other Philips I used long time ago. What I did not like is the charger base. I am sorry to say this Philips guys, but that thing is a joke.
