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 1050 comes encased in a premium black lacquered shell. Drawing inspiration from high fashion, the razor is loaded with black chrome and metal accents. A true state-of-the-art look.
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 shaver 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. | | | Features: | |

 Save your moneyMar 17, 2010
I replaced a Norelco speed razor that was getting old. This 1050 will give a close shave but does not cut longer hair at all. It takes a long time to get a complete shave. Sometimes, the highest priced item is not best, and this is the case. Save your money and get an 8240 Speed. The new 8240 is very easy to clean. The 1050 does not allow you to remove the heads, they only flip up. I like to use oil before I shave and the 8240 allows me to remove the heads, dump them in a container with some rubbing alcohol, and easily clean them with a few shakes.
Norelco Rotary 1050 CommentsMar 07, 2010
First, I just returned a Norelco 1050X ($190) after seeing almost no difference in shave between it and the Remington R-5130. I've never had the quality problems some mention below with the 5130. Does the 1050X seem better built? Only slightly, not an extra $135 though (I'm not take by the woven carbon fiber look).
I like the way the Remington charges, unlike the Norelco where I need to get the stand out, plug it in then set the shaver in the stand. And a BIG issue with the Norelco was you can NOT leave it plugged it. So I guess Norelco expected me to leave work to go home and unplug after an hour or 2 then return to work!
Some folks below complain about the size of the 5130/7130 series. Personally (here we go again) the Norelco 1050X is too small for a "normal" sized hand. The size of the 5130 is just about right. The Norelco felt like I was holding my toothbrush.
And most imported is the quality of shave, which I am very happy with. Remington hangs with the Norelco products just at a much lower price. I'm 44 and having been shaving for over 2 decades, been through many units. And, have always returned to Remington as Norelco products never did any better for the extra cash.
 Sleek styling but isn't it supposed to shave, too?Mar 06, 2010
I have been a longtime user of electric shavers, having settled on Norelco as providing the best for my needs. But along comes this slick new Norelco Arcitec with its sleek looks and amazing seemingly floating shaving heads. It looks like it can just slip-slide across your chin and neck with the greatest of ease. Well, isn't it supposed to cut, too? Since I got mine at Xmas, it's been trying to equal my last regular electric Norelco (Spectra 8892 XL), but falling way short. I mean, really, it just doesn't cut it. I've had to return to my old Norelco for a truly close shave. Come on, Norelco, you used to be a contender! Too much style and no substance! And it's hard to clean, too. Is there any way I can return this and get my money back? Please!?
 Great RazorFeb 28, 2010
This is the second Arcitec that I have purchased. I travel frequently for work, and got tired of having to remember to toss it in my travel bag every time I go out of town. Best Norelco razor that I have owned, and I have been using electric razors since I started shaving. Extremely close shave, very easy to use, and a breeze to clean. If you have never used an electric, try this one, and you will be surprised.
hype is much better than products performanceFeb 17, 2010
I bought this product based on the hype, the review, & the good name of the manufacturer.
Unfortunately this product did not live up to expectations. First, it took twice as long
to shave. Second, it left my face mutilated, irritated,& scratched. To get a close shave
I had to go over & over the same spots.
I've used the shaver three times. I've gone back to my straight edge. I only wish there
was an electric that was efficient & effective.
