The best new 9000 shavers are the best

This new shaver is as good as it's design images promised it to be. The multi-floating heads really hug the face and the dual blades really cut all the hairs. It's as close as a blade, no cuts or burns, much faster in the morning, you can touch up nicely in the evening without a red face, and it's quieter. I have a 6000, which I've used for a couple years and glad I did, but having the closest, most comfortable way to look good, and not wake up my wife in the morning, is a privilege and luxury that is much appreciated. Glad this is this year's Father's Day gift. I'm lucky.
Pros: smooth close and comfortable
Cons: can't clean it yourself must let cleaning pod
This is only my second electric shaver as I have primarily used blades. My first was a Norelco which I liked, but, I thought I would upgrade when the 9000 series became available. I am glad I did as this product is a step above the previous shaver and shaves as close as the blade with no discomfort. It does take a bit longer to shave but the result is worth it.
This is Shaver of all shavers. Fabulous design, light, very close shave with no irritation. Love the fact that I can use a light shaving cream with this shaver.
For the most part the razor performs flawlessly. My only problem with it is that sometimes some hairs that lay too flat against my skin do not get cut, and I still have to go back with a razor to clean them up.
Pros: quiet, battery life, smooth shave
Cons: misses some flat hair
I would recommend this to a friend!

Charge Time

Product is advertised as generating a 60 minute charge. The actual charge time started at 55 minutes and went down to 40 minutes after a few uses. Company says this is the nature of the product, but specifications on line still read 60 minute charge.
Cons: product doesn't live up to norelco standards.
I had a wet dry electric shaver always seemed to use the hand shaver to get a better shave, Not now the Norelco Shaver 9000 series does it all fast, close and so convient! Even my wife has commented on it's smoothness.
I have owned Norelco for 40 years and never had any idea that a shave could be this smooth. Much less repetition than the older razors and because I am getting much older, many less nicks. I just love it!
