You have to work at it!

 

Not difficult to get a shave that looks clean, but one that feels clean and smooth takes time and effort.

Quality shaver...worth the noise!

 

Quality razor, provides clean, close shave. Only drawbacks are that it has a very small trimmer for sideburns, and that the razor is a bit noisy. I\'ve come from the last generation Norelco, and this is definitely a step up. Just got it, and haven\'t...

Don't waste your money

 

My son bought one the same time I did and his experience is the same.

None

Don't waste your money. The Norelco Arcitec series is worthless. Take your time and read the negative feedback posted on other sites ; I got one good shave, then it picked and pulled my hair. My face was so raw after four days, I had to stop using it....

Norelco Rotary 1050 Comments

 

Norelco Rotary 1050 Comments

First, I just returned a Norelco 1050X ($190) after seeing almost no difference in shave between it and the Remington R-5130. I've never had the quality problems some mention below with the 5130. Does the 1050X seem better built? Only slightly, not...

Sleek styling but isn't it supposed to shave, too?

 

Sleek styling but isn't it supposed to shave, too?

I have been a longtime user of electric shavers, having settled on Norelco as providing the best for my needs. But along comes this slick new Norelco Arcitec with its sleek looks and amazing seemingly floating shaving heads. It looks like it can just...

Great Razor

 

Great Razor

This is the second Arcitec that I have purchased. I travel frequently for work, and got tired of having to remember to toss it in my travel bag every time I go out of town. Best Norelco razor that I have owned, and I have been using electric razors...

hype is much better than products performance

I bought this product based on the hype, the review, & the good name of the manufacturer. Unfortunately this product did not live up to expectations. First, it took twice as long to shave. Second, it left my face mutilated, irritated,& scratched. To...

Good, but not perfect

 

I had used Norelco razors for many years, and my last one had kept going for about seven or eight years. It was losing its ability to give a close shave, and probably needed new blades, and possibly new heads. I faced the dilemma many people face when ...

Shaves well, looks cool, very quiet, holds charge well

Badly placed trimmer, cannot be used when plugged in

Philips Norelco Arcitec 1050 Shaver

 

Philips Norelco Arcitec 1050 Shaver

The shaver works exactly as advertised. It shaves close around all areas of the face and neck and leaves the skin feeling smooth. It does require cleaning after each use but well worth it. I would absolutely recommend this product to my family and...

Product Specifications

Offering a 360 degree swiveling shaving head and a state-of-the art sleek design, arcitec is the most advanced Philips Norelco shaver yet. Compared to other Philips Norelco shavers, arcitec offers new flex & pivot technology, a more aerodynamic design, and an advanced tube trimmer. The unique flex & pivot technology delivers an exceptionally close shave. Three individually flexing shaving heads are connected by a ball joint system making them swivel, rotate, and pivot with a full range of motion. The maneuverability allows arcitec to adjust to the contours of your face ensuring optimum skin contact and a closer shave -- even on the neck. The new arcitec Shaver is designed to push the boundaries of shaving and to conquer those hard to shave areas. The arcitec 1050 comes encased in a premium black lacquered shell. Drawing inspiration from high fashion, the razor is loaded with black chrome and metal accents. A true state-of-the-art look. Cutting edge innovation doesn't stop with the shaver. Now you can recharge your shaver while you store it, with the Power Pod travel case that plugs into the wall and protects your investment. While at home, you can recharge your shaver in its sleek stand and show off this modern addition to your bathroom shelf. For those sideburns, goatees and moustaches, the new patented precision tube trimmer cuts hairs closer to the skin. This improved performance is due to the tube cutting system moving back and forth capturing every hair. All of these improvements and new introductions make it possible for you to conquer your neck to look and feel your best! Chart your course with the new Philips Norelco arcitec and be confident you're getting a perfectly close shave -- even on the neck.
