Excellent shaver, terrible trimmer.
I have owned several Norelco electric razors in the past and I have always thought that they provided a consistently close shave.  The new Arcitec 1090 gives an even better shave. The flexible heads easily fit the contours of your face and neck better than any previous Norelco model.  There are two minor drawbacks to this razor, well maybe three if you count the exhorbitant price.  The first is the trimmer is usless on this model. Even if the tiny trimmer worked, you could not see what you were trimming because the shaving head blocks your view.  The second irritant is that you have to clean the razor after each use.  Granted, it's a minor annoyance, but if you don't clean it each time you will end up with tiny hair pieces on your clothing and countertop because the collection recepticals are too small to hold more than one days beard growth.
