Amazon.com Item 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 1090 brings all of the best together with premium materials for the ultimate in luxury execution. The shaver's body is designed with fine brushed stainless steel, with a mirror coating of dark warm silver. The side panels are of genuine carbon fiber, as used by racing cars and the military for its lightweight strength. Additional features include: digital display readout of shaving time remaining, battery capacity indicator, and full charge indicator. Everything about this shaver is premium.

Cutting edge innovation doesn't stop with the shaver. Now you can recharge your razor 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.

	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 3-Minute Quick Charge Automatic Worldwide Voltage Electronic On/Off Switch Hair Collection Chamber Protective Razor Cap Cleaning Brush Every Philips Norelco shaver has a 60-Day Money-Back Guarantee and a Full Two-Year Warranty.

Customer Rating: - VERY EXPENSIVE AND SLOW
I BOUGHT THIS AS A GIFT FOR MY HUSBAND, AFTER READING ABOUT THIS NEW RAZOR. 1ST VERY EXPENSIVE 2ND TAKES FOREVER TO SHAVE AND 3RD NOT A VERY CLOSE SHAVE. NOT VERY HAPPY WITH THIS PURCHASE.

Customer Rating: - norelco shaver

The shaver doesn't satisfy as far as shaving around the sideaburns, ears, and nose areas. Yes, it may be fine in the neck area, however that is a small part of a normal shave for me. I prefer the other style.

Customer Rating: - The best electric shave you can get.
After a long research and checking almost any review I finally decided on the Arcitec 1090.
It will never give you a closer shave as you can get at a barber but is the best electric shave.
