Amazon.com Product Description
Offering a 360 degree swiveling shaving head and a state-of-the art sleek design, arcitec is the most advanced Philips Norelco shaver yet. Compared to other Philips Norelco shavers, arcitec offers new flex & pivot technology, a more aerodynamic design, and an advanced tube trimmer.

The unique flex & pivot technology delivers an exceptionally close shave. Three individually flexing shaving heads are connected by a ball joint system making them swivel, rotate, and pivot with a full range of motion. The maneuverability allows arcitec to adjust to the contours of your face ensuring optimum skin contact and a closer shave -- even on the neck. The new arcitec Shaver is designed to push the boundaries of shaving and to conquer those hard to shave areas.

The arcitec 1060 comes encased in a sophisticated silver chrome shell. Drawing inspiration from scientific and specialized instruments, this shaver is built with high density, lightweight materials. You know you are shaving with something extraordinary.

Cutting edge innovation doesn't stop with the shaver. Now you can recharge your shaver while you store it, with the Power Pod travel case that plugs into the wall and protects your investment. While at home, you can recharge your razor in its sleek stand and show off this modern addition to your bathroom shelf.

For those sideburns, goatees and moustaches, the new patented precision tube trimmer cuts hairs closer to the skin. This improved performance is due to the tube cutting system moving back and forth capturing every hair. All of these improvements and new introductions make it possible for you to conquer your neck to look and feel your best! Chart your course with the new Philips Norelco arcitec and be confident you're getting a perfectly close shave -- even on the neck.

Flex and Pivot Technology: Three independently flexing heads in a shaving unit that swivels 360 degrees for a full range of motion. This ensures optimum skin contact in curved areas, to catch even the most problematic hairs on your neck for a perfectly close shave, even in the hard to shave places.
State-of-the-Art Design: arcitec's 'central drive' technology makes it possible to design an ultra slim ergonomic body that fits snugly in your hand -- making it more comfortable to hold and effortless to use. The central drive technology connects all rotary blades to the shaving motor using only one spindle (axle) for a more comfortable grip.
Triple Track Shaving Heads: with up to 50% more shaving surface for a faster, smoother, closer shave. The Philips arcitec has more blades than traditional single-track shaving heads for more chances to catch and cut hair on every stroke. So you don't have to go over the same area to get a really close shave.
Superior Lift & Cut Technology: The dual stainless steel blade system gently lifts hair to cut it comfortably below skin level, for an ultra close shave.
Advanced Tube Trimmer: Extends out from the body of the shaver -- perfect for trimming your sideburns, goatee, moustache -- then slide it back into the shaver to keep that sleek clean look! The new patented precision tube trimming technology lets you cut off hairs closer to the skin. The outer tube has slots to catch hairs and the inner tube oscillates to cut these hairs.
Precision Cutting System: Ultra-thin heads have slots to catch longer hairs and holes to shave short stubble. The stainless steel shaving heads are made very thin so they lie closer than ever against your skin to reach every hair.
Washable: Simply rinses clean in seconds -- for the ultimate in convenience.
Other standard features include:
  • Multi-Purpose Display: Battery Full and Charging Indicators, Shaving Head Replacement and Cleaning Indicator
  • Charging Stand
  • Power Pod Charging Storage Case (ideal for travel)
  • Fully charges in 1-hour for up to 65 minutes of shave time or 21 days of cord-free shaving

4 out of 5 stars Very Nice   January 6, 2009
CE Sembower
I bought this for my husband for Christmas. He loves it. The only thing he does not like is that it does not shave his neck very well. The thing he likes best is that it charges quickly and comes in a protective travel case.


4 out of 5 stars Shaves like a sharp razor   January 5, 2009
Pablo Zawadzki (CRC)
I have received mine just a couple of days ago, so I cannot gave the 5 stars, but as today this is the best electric razor I have ever try.

The head floats perfect and the shave is very close and best of all it dosen't irritate my skin.




4 out of 5 stars An Improved Norelco Shaver   December 17, 2008

I, like many others I presume, have been on a lifelong search for the perfect electric shaver. Being interested in saving time in the morning and not risking the effort to shave daily with a bladed razor, I have long preferred an electric shaver and have tried everything from Remington to Braun to Norelco. The Norelco tripleheader technology was what I always came back to.

I recently purchased the Norelco Arcitec 1060 razor after reading of its improvements and seeing its new design. It is still a triple header but the floating heads now sit on a swiveling ball-type joint that allows easier and presumably closer access to one's beard in many of the former "difficult-to-reach areas". It comes with a charging stand and a travel sphere that also doubles as a charger.

After several weeks, I find my shaves are closer than with my older Norelco 8170XL Norelcoseries model and I do feel like I have more control of this razor on my face and neck. It is powerful enough to get the job done with just a few circular strokes while holding the skin stretched.

I would have preferred a model with a direct cord capability but alas, this model must be recharged to be used: obviously, when the battery goes, you will not be able to run the razor with an electrical cord while waiting for a new battery.

Also, since the floating heads sit on the flexible pedestal, there is little collection room for cut whiskers to be stored; indeed, each head needs to be opened and cleaned after every couple of shaves. Of interest is the claim that the heads can be cleaned by just rinsing them--although I have yet to bring myself to try this. There is a symbol on the front that points out when the heads need to be cleaned (rinsed) and symbols for battery life. All in all, a shaver I am still enjoying after 3 weeks.




1 out of 5 stars Terrible Quality of shave and product   December 8, 2008
M. A. Olsson (Daphne, AL)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

Had this shaver for about a year. My old $40 braun is waaay better than this one. The Norleco shaves terribly and leaves patches of hair. And now on top of all this it was completly dead this morning. Does not work at all! And like some other people have said it does leave you with razor burn and still doesn't shave close enough for your skin to feel smooth.
WARNING!! DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT IT IS AWEFUL!



2 out of 5 stars Not worth the money for poor results   November 29, 2008

As others have said, I too really wanted to like this razor. I've used a blade for decades, and wanted to believe that an electric razor - purportedly the latest technology version - would work (nearly) as well. I was very disappointed. Yup - it looks cool, very avant garde, and high-tech.

The results I experienced - after 4 weeks of trial as suggested by Norelco - is that I had to shave two or three times a day. I could have had far better results with a blade just once in the morning.

I tried shaving in the shower - which Norelco says works better - with no better results than dry shaving. My razor is on the way back to Amazon for a refund.

My compliments to Amazon for their return policy. I've purchased dozens of items through Amazon, and this is the first major disappointment - and has nothing to do with Amazon, but the lack of performance by Norelco.

Save your money - or explore other options.
