A BIG splurge, but worth it,
By
This review is from: Philips Norelco 9199XL Limited Edition Formula 1 SmartTouch-XL Men's Shaving System (Health and Beauty)
I purchased this item as a gift for my father. The pricetag was high and I debated for a while but ultimately took the plunge. And I think it was worth it.I guess when re-reading the description it does explain the product pretty well but what I somehow missed is that these are limited editions and I think Philips is a Formula 1 sponsor so the appreciation on this as a collectible could be pretty intense. There are 200 units in existance and they're numbered. They also have a certificate of authenticity. The case itself has 3 levels. The top folds down to reveal a mini-DVD, the instruction manual, a USB adapter/converter of some sort (not sure what exactly it does - dad can figure that out on his own) and a brush for cleaning the shaver. The main level is covered by a black dust cloth. Under the cloth is the shaver in it's stand (a unique black, white and silver smart-touch. I have the 9170XLCC with the clean and charge base model actually - this one is a little sleeker/cooler looking), a flash drive that I think has a message from Williams on it but I haven't listened as this is a gift, a carbon fiber travel case for the shaver, and a miniature formula one racing car, which is highly collectible I believe. That tray lifts out to reveal the bottom of the case and a half-tray. The half-tray holds the plastic travel cover for the shaver and the Power cord. The bottom of the container itself holds the auth certificate. I was already pondering purchasing an electric shaver for my dad and he's a Formula 1 fan so when I found this I got pretty excited. Well worth the price when you see it in person. The presentation is flawless and makes a truly incredible gift I think. Props to Philips on this!

Champion Among Razors,
This review is from: Philips Norelco 9199XL Limited Edition Formula 1 SmartTouch-XL Men's Shaving System (Health and Beauty)
The 9199XL's Formula 1 racing heritage is evident from the moment its svelte yet muscular form rolls out of the box. It gleams under the lights, the low purr of its motor merely hinting at the roar of raw power that will soon follow. But make no mistake. This is no common wifebeater of a NASCAR shaver for the unshaved masses. It is a personal hygiene appliance of Formula 1 distinction.While others have crooned over the razor's patented reflex action, or waxed at length about the personal comfort control settings, some still measure the worth of an electric razor by its ability to quickly and closely relieve one of facial hair. The 9199XX succeeds wildly, largely due its innovative carbon fiber construction. The use of this lightweight space age material allows one to deftly maneuver the razor about the face at breakneck speeds, making hairpin turns around lips and other such obstacles with the grace and dexterity of a true thoroughbred. The Certificate of Authenticity that accompanies this sleek, limited edition marvel (only 175 units were fabricated) speaks to its pedigree. It is a great personal comfort to know that no more than 174 other U.S. consumers will ever experience the victory of owning the Philips Norelco 9199XL Limited Edition Formula 1 SmartTouch-SL Men's Shaving System.

Norelco is still the best buy for your money,
By D.D.H. ""old guy"" (Half Moon Bay, Ca. USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Philips Norelco 9199XL Limited Edition Formula 1 SmartTouch-XL Men's Shaving System (Health and Beauty)
I've used this Norelco 9199XL for a month now and ......no surprises. It's still the best electric shaver you can buy. Even the less expensive Norelco shavers are the best no "frills" no nonsense and quietest electric shavers on the market.Personally I enjoy some of the "frills". The usage by the minute and time remaining before charging, the adjustable "sensitive skin" shaving level makes a noticeable difference for me, the triple "floating head" system not only provides a smoother shave (smooth as a blade in my opinion) but a faster shave as well, and of course the time saving and efficient "rinse clean" feature for easier maintenance. The large multi-level case that store the shaver, charger and hard shell compact travel case along with numerous other goodies (including a collector 1/32 race car)are a bit over done and expensive. All very impressive for the special gift/collector kind of person. It's all in how much the "ultimate" is worth to you.
