1.0 out of 5 stars Don't buy this razor, April 4, 2009

This review is from: Philips Norelco 1060 Arcitec Rechargeable Cordless Tripleheader Electric Razor (Health and Beauty)

The Norelco Arcitec 1060X doesn't shave very closely. Even after three or four passes over your face, you won't come close to a shave with a regular razor. It doesn't cut the fine hairs on my face at all. The trimmer is located so close to the shaving heads that you can't use it. You have to lift each of the three heads to clean the razor, then push all three heads down again. The razor makes a lot of noise while on. I paid premium dollars for this razor, and although it looks very stylish, it performs so poorly that it's the worst electronic purchase I've ever made. Buy any razor but this one.

2.0 out of 5 stars I really wanted to like this shaver, December 19, 2009

This review is from: Philips Norelco 1060 Arcitec Rechargeable Cordless Tripleheader Electric Razor (Health and Beauty)

It's one of the coolest electric razors I've seen. I couldn't wait to get this one. I love Norelco's products. I bought this shaver and tried it for a couple of weeks and found it delivers a really harsh uncomfortable shave with lots of razor burn which I never got from my other Norelco. I think one reason for the harsh shave is that it doesn't have the floating heads anymore that easily give to the contours of your face, this seems to plow into curves instead and you also don't get the range of pivoting that the previous models have (I noticed this didn't surround my Adams Apple like my 9160XL does it sits flat on it). It gives a decent shave but not a great shave like I was hoping and you have to go over areas many times. I think who ever designed this razor just went for how sleek and cool they could make it look and the function came second. You can get as good of shave with a 8140XL SpeedXL which has the same cutting head technology and gain the comfort and save $120. It just won't look as cool on your counter. I've sent mine back and I thought I'd try a Braun Pulsonic 9595 and it's the best shaver I've ever owned. Sorry Norelco but when I spend $200 dollars I just don't want something that looks good I want it improved too.

4.0 out of 5 stars Norelco 1060 vs. Braun 9595, January 8, 2008

I purchased both the Norelco 1060 and the Braun 9595. While I kept the Braun since it shaves a bit closer, I preferred the Norelco based on how it felt in my hand and on my face. I went back and forth for a few weeks between keeping the Norelco vs. the Braun. The deciding factors were the lithium ion battery in the Braun and the fact I am an ex-pat living close to Braun in Germany which will facilitate resolving any future service issues. With respect to the lithium ion battery, I do not worry about fully discharging the Braun before a recharge as with the Norelco. Having said this, either razor would be a fine choice.
