Philips Arcitec This one is one of the finest product of Philips in Electric Shavers.

...performer in dealing with it. It is capable of removing the hairs from the remotest areas of your face and the ones whic are indeed left out by normal cheap shavers. Going some details, it was able to shave off the hairs from my neck and on the side skins that cover my lip which in normal conditions would leave side burns. Its always difficult to remove these hairs without a good deal of effort but with ARCITEC it was quite easy and comfortable. ... Read review

I bought this shaver because I wanted the best plain and simple and it's gonna get used everyday. It flies through tough areas and it seems like I can shave in half the time of my Braun.

Advantages: smooth legs, great value
Disadvantages: hurts a bit at first

I bought this product last august, on a half price offer from boots. Having never bought an electric shaver or epilater before I took advantage of the offer because this product came with an additional shaver head as well as the epilater head. It is very easy to use and the epilation is not painful on legs after the first couple of times, even without the additional ice pack it hardly hurts. However I would recommend to always use the ice pack on ...
...eyes!! The results are well worth the pain as the skin is so smooth after use. I find I get at least 7-10 days before i have to do my legs again and bikini line lasts even longer!

Disadvantages: Bit of a hassle to clean

Moving around the jaw bone and cheek bones, means that it gets alot closer to the skin. A normal razor can only tilt backwards and forwards, ...
...made all the difference in my opinion. It even made the much harder places to reach like the neck, below the jaw line and around the Adams Apple. Once again, because of the swivel and pivot, it was alot easier to get closer to the skin. Though i must admit, i ended up with quite a sore neck afterwards. I don't know it this was down to me, or the shaver. I probably either pressed too hard, or didn't put enough conditioner on. The conditioner feature ... Read review

Disadvantages: Does not vacuum up all hair clippings.

...so it does still require some cleaning up afterwards. The battery life has so far been very good and does not require constant or frequent charging. The Philips QT4045 has been the most reliable beard trimmer that I have tried and I would definitely recommend it to others. ... Read review
