I shaved with an earlier model for at least six years. I figured it was time to replace 'ole dependable' before it died. There was no indication that it was. The new razor has much improved battery life and the 100% to 0% scale is great. The separate beard trimmer is a great feature that let me shelve another trimmer. Inclusion of a replacement head is an added plus that made me suggest it for a Christmas gift. If this lasts as long as it's older model, I'll be ecstatic.
In overall view this is an acceptable electric shaver. However, I expected to receive a trimmer with the package. Also, it doesn't shave very well and it takes time to shave a face completely clean.
Great shaver so far - one month in and still the a close shave. Only think is i wish it held a charge longer. only about 20 shaves then you have to charge it.
This shaver gives an acceptably close shave for an electric razor. Very comfortable and very easy to clean. Battery charge yields 5 - 6 shaves
I would recommend this to a friend!

Nice Razor

I have an older Speed XL and it had 3 rotor blades in each shaving head. I have to say that old razor does a better job at shaving but it is not sold any longer. Can still buy the blades but the razor batter is about to go.
About the 9300, I love this razor it does a great job and by rinsing the blades before I put on the smart clean system it allows me to go an extra 2 months longer before replacing the cleaning solution. I have yet to try shaving with shaving cream and that might be a way to get a better shave. I would recommend this razor to my family and friends, but I still like the old Speed XL and would like to see that come back for a limited time or put the 3 blades in the newer models. Thanks
Pros: great shave stays clean and ready
Cons: just does not cut as close as my old speed xl
When I shave in the shower using bar soap to lather, I feel the shaver cuts as close as a three-blade manual razor. I only rinse the shaver with water after each shave.
