Review (5/5): Old Norelco User Likes the Arcitec 1050
I have been using Norelco rotary razors for 30+ years, except for a couple of brief stints with competing brands. I have always returned to the Norelco. I got my Arcitec 1050 for Christmas in 2008, so have been using it almost a year. It is a great razor, the best Norelco ever.
The true test of a razor is how well it shaves, and the biggest challenge to me is in the neck area. With my old Norelco rotary, I had to really work to make sure my neck got shaved and sometimes had to touch up with a regular blade. The Arcitec does a great job of shaving, the best ever by a Norelco shaver.
Some reviewers complain about the position of the trimmer. It did take little getting used to for me, but it is no big deal. The trimmer itself works much better than those on previous Norelcos.
I highly recommend the Norelco Arcitec.
