Philips RQ1051 ARCitec Rechargeable Rotary Shaver

I was amazed by the Philips ARCitec Rotary Shaver, it is a shaver that actually lives up to and even surpasses the marketing claims. It is simply the best shaver I have ever used.

Why? Philips state that it covers 50% more shaving area since it has a triple track on each of its heads, the result is the closest shave I have ever experienced. What surprised me even more was the ease with which it shaved so closely. I have reasonably tough stubble, previous shavers have required several passes over particularly tough areas like my chin and often they end up leaving the skin pretty sore as I try to grind out the stubble with multiple passes however, the Philips ARCitec Rotary Shaver takes it away on one pass. Even after 3 days growth I could use the Philips ARCitec Rotary Shaver with relative ease.

The other bonus for me is that I have quite an angular face and an Adams apple that gets in the way, that all spells for an awkward shave. The Philips ARCitec Shaver is the first shaver that is genuinely easy for me to use; not only does the whole head pivot in every direction but each individual shaving head flexes independently as well.

A few technical details: To clean the ARCitec Rotary Shaver you just flip the three heads up and rinse under the tap. It takes 1 hour to charge to get 21 days of shaving. It automatically selects the right voltage when you plug the charger in so it does not matter which country you are charging in. The charging stand has suction cups on which means it does not get knocked off on to the floor.

Looks: The Philips ARCitec Rotary Shaver is sleek in black and grey and employs some pretty cool carbon look-a-like material, probably the best looking shaver out I’ve seen this year. --Jeremy Paterson, Amazon.co.uk
