Review of Norelco SmartTouch Men's Shaver - 9160XL

Hi, My name is Michael.I live near Baton Rouge, LA.I'm 43 and I have shaved with Norelco Electric Razors for years.I had 3 SpectraXLs that went out within a month of shaving.I also had a Cool Skin that went out within a month of shaving.Norelco replaced the Spectras and I have a 8894XL that I have been shaving with for about 6 months and it works fine.I took the money that I got back from the Cool Skin and put it towards a Smart Touch 9160XL.I was really surprised to learn that Norelco was discontinuing the Spectra line.8894XL is one fine shaving machine, beautiful design and well constructed, with the kinks ironed out, it's the best shaving electric razor Norelco has ever made up to now.I say up to now.Smart Touch is not the razor that Spectra is.It is cheaply made and not as well constructed.To me, Norelco has made a step backwards by discontinuing Spectra, but Smart Touch does slightly out shave Spectra and that is the main reason to buy this razor.I have a heavy dark beard and I work 12 hour shifts at the end of my day with Smart Touch, I hardly have a shadow, AWESOME!!!!!Something, I've never experienced with an electric razor!!!!9160XL is good enough, unless you want to put down about $200 more for all the bells and whistles, when 9160XL shaves just as good as 9190XL.I usually use Williams Electric Shave, but this morning I used some Pinaud Clubman Talc as a pre electric and I got the closest shave that I have ever gotten with an electric razor!!!!Pos.- There are 3 heads on this Razor ( Something that Spectra does not have ), making for a closer shave, It has a personal comfort control with 3 settings, line bar to show you how much charge you have left, and it can be eaisly washed out after each shave, and it give the closest possible shave that you will everget with an electric razor.Neg.- This razor is not of the same qualty as Spectra.It is cheaply made and not as awesome as Spectra.The cleaning indicator is useless.It blinks after every shave, not when the razor needs to be cleaned.The little travel pouch is a joke!!The razor barely fits in it.I almost took mine back, but I stuck with it for a couple of days and found that I really was getting the closest shave that I had ever gotten with an electric razor, so I kept mine.Go ahead and buy this razor.Don't waste your money on the higher priced models.I'm sure this one shaves just as good, but be sure to save your sales slip in case it goes out.I've had mine for about a month and haven't had any problems yet!! Have A Great Day!-[...]
