An excellent shaver with a couple of limitations
Every 3 - 4 years or so, I buy a new electric razor, hoping that the technology will have improved enough to give me a good shave without irritation. I still haven't found one that will get all of the hairs below my jawline. My beard is less coarse than most and a tad sparse, which makes irritation a problem. I think it would be a great razor for someone with a coarser and denser beard than mine.<br /><br />The Arcitec 1059 gives a good, comfortable shave with minimal irritation. My previous electric was a Panasonic ES8068 and I have compared the two side-by-side. The results are very similar - a good, clean shave everywhere except below the jaw, although the Norelco does a slightly better job there than the Panasonic. The Norelco is also less irritating than the Panasonic. Nonetheless, I guess I am a bit disappointed that Norelco's brand new design doesn't solve the problem that seems to plague just about everybody - getting a clean shave below the jaw..<br /><br />So yes, it's a very, very nice razor (not perfect), does a good job, is comfortable and I recommend it.
