Another stellar shaver from Norelco
I've read a lot of bad reviews on this shaver and I just don't understand why it gets such bad marks.  Granted, I've never shaved with any other brand than a Norelco, so I may not have a lot to compare it to.  For the past eight years, I shaved with a Norelco Advantage/Cool skin. I wasn't in the market to purchase a new shaver, as I loved my cool skin, but after 8 years, it began to come apart (literally).  I received this shaver as a welcome and much needed birthday gift.  So far it has lived up to my expectations; its precise in the way it cuts the facial hair and it does provide a closer shave on the neck region than my Advantage/Cool Skin model.  In order to avoid any razor burn, I dab some Lectric Shave on my face about 30 seconds prior to shaving (great advice for any of you experiencing razor burn).  Unlike the Advantage/Cool skin model, the hairs fall into the blade area neatly, which makes cleaning a breeze.  All it takes is some lightly running hot water and about 30 seconds.  The arcitec 1060 also has a very powerful charger; I've had it now for over two weeks and have only had to charge it once.<br /><br />Yes, this is an expensive razor and it may not be worth the price you pay for it, but getting it as a gift I can honestly say that I hope to be using this shaver for years to come.  It's a quality machine that does what it is supposed to do: provide a close, comfortable shave.
