Summary: The 1050 is super! ! !
Comment: I purchased mine about 5 weeks ago. It's great!
Prior to buying, I read many many of the reviews and as a result was quite skeptical and leary about trying one. Since I new I could return it if not satisfied, I decided to give it a try. It's a fine piece of work. Clean, relatively quick saves; gets the long wiskers too; smooth face; no razor burn; long lasting (long!) between charges; the trimmer works very well; no fuss to clean, just open the three heads over the sink, they hold the shaved wiskers very satisfactorally until dumped (mini-minimal drops to the floor or my chest; no need to rinse but probably smarter to do in the long run; very pleased with it. Don't worry, try it for yourself. Push out, mon, and circle in the lift of life. Jaun Armostrongalis, Montpelier , Vt.

Summary: Stylish But Hardly Works At All
Comment: I bought this shaver approximately 6 months ago. From day 1 the razor performed badly. It is very, very slow to cut on 1 day growth (for me) and virtually doesn't work at all on 2 or 3 day growth. My facial hair is not that hard to cut either. I have replaced the blades a number of times - they are expensive - with no improvement.
The trimmer is a joke and also hardly works.
I just bought a Panasonic ES8043SC Pro-Curve razor as a replacement - it works great - I am on my way to trash can after writing this review to dump the Philips razor - an expensive waste of money.
Philips - shame - shame...

Comment: Philips Norelco Arcitec 1050 men's shaver - My husband who is 78 was very pleased to receive this highly advertisied shaver. He is pleased with its performance, but does not believe it lives up to the advertising claims and the package was a real challenge to get into.
Customer Rating: Summary: Postive and negitives
Comment: My son's bought me this electric razor for Christmas 2008. Just want to rate the razor on the postive and Negitive's.
Postive:
Light weight
Holds charge good
Great stand with sucken cups
Floating heads--Shaves great
Love the color
Negitive's
Don't like to clean after each shave, but it is a must.
Not very quit as razors go.
Cost---Way over priced.
Don't like pop out trimmer. To small.
My opinion only.

Customer Rating: Summary: Didn't work for me
Comment: The razor worked great on the beard on my face, but NOT AT ALL on the hair that grows under my chin! Like all other razors I have tried, it left an unpleasant rash and did not clip the hairs closely.
