Customer Reviews of Philips Norelco 1060XD Arcitec Razor
Customer Review: An excellent razor
Summary: 5 Stars
The Norelco arcitec 1060X is an excellent razor.
Now, it's important to remember that opinions about shaving are similar to religious beliefs; they're fanatically held, and believers seem willing do fight to the death on behalf of their favorite system. The variance we see in razor reviews is no doubt caused by the individuality in our faces. This means that every razor review-- including this one-- is very much an individual, personal opinion. I do think that some people are unhappy with their electric razors mostly because they don't prepare their faces well. It's critically important to avoid moisture because it swells up the whiskers, and they won't fit into the little holes or slots on the razor's head. A smooth, dry face definitely increases the chances for a good, comfortable shave.
With that in mind, I've used various blade systems-- most recently the Gillette Fusion-- and several electric razors-- most recently the Braun 8595-- over the years. Of all of them, I like the Norelco arcitec 1060X best.
The shave it provides is very comfortable and uniform, better than what I could get with the Braun. The famous Norelco "floating head" system on this shaver conforms very well to the curves on my face. In about five minutes, I can get a close, uniform shave with no razor burn. In addition, the Norelco is very light weight-- almost startlingly so-- and very quiet. I can actually shave without cranking up the volume on my radio.
One of the best features of the Norelco is the ease of cleaning. The whiskers are trapped in little cups underneath the three cutting heads, and after each shave, you simply flip up the cutting heads and rinse everything off with hot water. The Braun is a "self-cleaning" system that requires regular replacement of a cleaning fluid reservoir. It's somewhat pricey and definitely messy. The instruction manual for the Norelco says that the cutter heads need to be replaced once a year, but I haven't had it long enough to know whether my mileage will vary.
The 1060X comes with a "Power Pod." This is actually a hard-shell carrying case that holds the razor and cleaning brush and doubles as a charger. This is great for travel, since it protects the razor. In fact, it's necessary for extended travel, because there's no way to run the razor directly off of the power cord. For home recharging and storage, there's a very nice looking stand the power cord plugs into.
There is a higher-cost version of this razor, the arcitec 1090X, but the only real difference is the display that shows the battery status and need for cleaning. I personally don't think the spiffier display justifies the difference in cost.
The bottom line for me is that the Norelco arcitec 1060X is a well-built, easy-to-use machine that delivers a very good shave and requires minimal upkeep. I like it a lot, and if I had to buy another razor today, I'd buy this one again without any hesitation.
