This 9300 Series shaver gives me the best electric shave I have ever experienced. I have used electric shavers for about 45 years and the majority have been Norelco shavers. My other razors claimed "blade close" shaves but always fell somewhat short. The 9300 meets that boast on my face. I don't know if it's the SH90 heads or the 8-way flex, whatever it is works great for me.
I don't shave in the shower or otherwise wet-shave but the water proof, rinsable, design lends itself to easy cleaning. The Inclusion of the Smart Clean system is a superb addition. This is my first experience with this type of accessory. The ability to give the razor a thorough cleaning and lubrication should help keep the blades fresh and the cutting efficient. What I don't care for is the fact that the cleaning automatically switches to charging when done. Batteries typically have a charge-cycle limit before they exhibit degraded performance. To have the base charge the razor every cleaning may lead to premature failure. For this reason I only put my razor into the Smart clean once weekly. The rest of the time I pop the razor under hot water and air dry. (this is why only 4 stars).
In closing let me just say that this razor may seem pricey but it is well worth the extra money for "the perfect electric share".
Pros: comfortable close shave
Cons: cleaning charges battery
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have been using Norelco shavers for many years. The last one is model 7100. So I am used to the feel of an electric razor. But this one hurts the skin and in-spite of its high cost still manages to not cut some hairs leaving long strands which are harder to cut the next time.
I have tried all three speed settings.
Pros: can be charged directly on the razor
Cons: hurts skin when shaving
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I have owned a number of Norelco rotary shavers over a long time period. As I have aged, I my beard has become softer and I was having problems with some of the light wispy hairs not being cut by my old shaver. I would have to use the trimmer side to get these hairs. That is not the case with the 9300. The new head and cutter design does a fantastic job giving my a complete and very close shave.
Pros: great coverage
I would recommend this to a friend!

The triple head design of this razor provides a quick and smooth shave. The heads pop off easily for cleaning, and it conveniently cleans with hot water. The SmartClean System is also a stand-up charger. However, the heads stay wet after finishing the dry mode and now the cleaning mode continues on for hours and hours unless I unplug it.
Pros: smooth and comfortable shave, cleans with hot water
Cons: smartclean system wet cleans w/o disengaging
I would recommend this to a friend!
