Review (4/5): My cup of tea
Not one for close shaves, I needed a new shaver and fell into the Consumer Report thing of buying the highest rated shaver: Braun 8985. It was so heavy, it felt like pushing a lawn mower across my face! Then I got the Norelco arcitec 1050. What a beauty. It was love at first shave! On the first shave, I was getting the shave I wanted; did not have to wait the 2-3 weeks for my face to get used to the new shaver, as warned by the manufacturer. I love the way the head glides. Plus,so light and so ergonomically perfect in my hand.
Why didn't I give it 5 stars: Assuming that one carries the shaver in the power pod when traveling (its like a travel case), its disappointing that there is no room for the power cord in that pod. Also, while in the pod, you cannot place the head cap. The natural question then is, what kind of architects designed this arcitec?!
