I've now started to shave on my way to work and its loads less hassle then wet shaving every day. I haven't given this product 5 starts as it doesn't shave as close as my Gillette Fusion, but that said it still does a decent enough job to rate it 4 stars (and I hardly use my wet shave now)!
I haven't used the cleaner yet so cant comment on that, but overall I'm happy with this Philips Arcitec :-)
Philips RQ1095 Arcitec Rechargeable Rotary Shaver
And my skin needed to get used to the shaver, which was about 3 weeks. And after that my skin looks great and the shave is excellent.
The shaver just moves effortlessly across my face and neck and takes off all the hair in a couple of strokes.
It comes with a lovely looking power pod which you charge it in and protect it while travelling.
The cleaning system is great aswell. It cleans it and dries it after every shave and keeps the blades looking like new after every shave.
I dont want to go back to wetshaving now!
Excellent buy and great service. Well done Amazon!
It's the closeness of the shave, or lack thereof, that's my problem. My five-year-old Remmington consistently shaves closer. Perhaps this will improve as my skin gets used to the new shaving system, but thus far after three weeks I am left feeling somewhat disappointed.
Don't get me wrong, the RQ1095 has some excellent features like the cleaning and charge pod and the built-in tube trimmer, the digital display is also very useful. It's just a shame that it is badly let down by the closeness of the shave which I was expecting to be excellent with this new triple-track design. Instead I'm left shaving the same area over and over just to get it done right. And you can forget about using it to shave anything longer than 0.5mm as it just seems to glide over those slightly longer hairs and you're left having to use the tube trimmer to pick them up, which then leaves the skin red and feeling uncomfortable.
It's also very light. Too light. Perhaps that's a personal preference, but when I spend so much money on something I prefer it not to feel like it will break if I squeeze too hard.
All-in-all, the fancy features and nice aesthetics do score the Arcitec RQ1095 some brownie points, but is badly let down by the shave which, everything else aside, is the reason for buying this in the first place.
EDIT: I have now owned this shaver for over 18-months and am still sorely disappointed with it. The closeness of the shave is terrible. You can spend more than half an hour shaving with it and your face will still be patchy. This has completely put me off Phillips shavers for the future, which is a shame because I've heard that some of them are quite good. Just not this (obscenely expensive) one.
