above average shaver does not irritate my skin pretty [SEP] the arcitec is replacing my almost year old asinpackaging contents and presentationthe shaver comes to you inside a triple layered protective defensive enclosure hard plastic over cardboard over another clamshell but easy to open protective plastic layer it is not totally bullet proof but it probably ensures that most units do not suffer any damage while in transitinside i found it is okay for an electric shaver i will not say that it is as close as a blade because it is not but that is not why i switched from blade shaving to electric some years ago i am using an electric shaver because shaving with a blade had my skin irritated especially on my neck the was okay but my neck still felt uncomfortable the architec does not irritate my neck at all and this is a very good thingthe above comes with a price shaving takes a lot longer you need to go over the same area several times before all the hairs are lifted and cut but that was a tradeoff i understood and i accepted norleco claim that the arcitec has more shaving surface compare with the old claim of up to more shaving surface is just marketing hype and always left me ask myself more than what the reality is that the heads together add up to a decent shaving surface and the arcitecs are not larger than the s but i would not call them humongously large and again contrary to marketing claims shaving with the arcitec or with just about any other electric shaver is not fastas i noted before the arcitec is very gentle to my skin and this is the main reason other than good looks that i prefer it over the older model sometimes you need to go several times over the same neck spot because lift and cut is good but not perfect but my experience with the arcitec is that my skin tolerates it pretty welltrimmer a small trimmer can be pulled out when needed i am not going to use it that much but i was able to successfully and quickly trim my mustache it is a useful featureother bells and whistles when needed a number of indicators warnings discretely light up on shavers body quick shave larger than what are a little bit exaggerated but that is what our reviews are fori hesitated between i like it and i love it stars if you expect the arcitec to fulfill all the marketing claims you may be slightly disappointed but if you know what to expect from an electric shaver and understand that real world miracles are very rare then a star may be the fair rating i will do a stars at this time for a good quality well designed electric shaver that appears to be an incremental improvement over previous generations but whose capabilities may be a little over hyped brush your teeth it is the law
