Arcitec 1050CC’s unique flex and pivot technology exceptionally delivers close shave. The three independent flexing heads swivel in 360-degree full range of motion.

State-of-the-art Design
Philips Arcitec central guide technology connects all the rotary blades into the shaving motor while using only one spindle/axle for a more convenient grip and effortless use. This shaver has ultra-slim ergonomic body which snugly fits in the hand.

Triple Track Shaving Heads
Philips Arcitec has more blades than traditional shavers with single-track head. The multiple blades allow the shaver to catch and cut hairs in every stroke. With up to 50% more shaving surface for a smoother, faster and closer shave, you don’t have to go over the same area in shaving.

Advanced Tube Trimmer
Arcitec’s patented precision tube trimming technology extends from the shaver’s body allowing you to cut to hairs closer to skin. The hairs are caught by the outer tube and the inner tube oscillates to cut these hairs making this shaver perfect for trimming sideburns, mustache and goatee area.

This shaver is great in neck and jaw line which are the hardest areas to shave.
Shaving with Arcitec 1050CC results in zero razor burns or irritation. The shave gets better and faster everyday.
It makes a nice clean and cuts real close.
The Jet Clean System is just awesome as it keeps the shaver look brand new everyday with no effort.

Users’ Negative Comments

This shaver doesn’t shave as close as previous Norelco models. It causes more irritation and razor burn.
You have to pass the same area over and over and couldn’t get a close shave especially in the neck. It takes 15 minutes of shaving to get an acceptable shave.
A lot of pressure has to be applied for the shaver to do what it’s supposed to.
The trimmer doesn’t pop out far enough to be useful.
The shaver feels smooth on the skin but it leaves the neck red and feeling burned.
Whiskers are not actually captured in the shaving head.
