A better shave than the Pulsonic...hands down [SEP] I just got the Arcitec 1090 and on the first day I got a better shve than I got for almost two months of use of my Braun Pulsonic. While the cleaning system was great and the new shape also an improvement, the Pulsonic did not deliver on closeness of shave. The Arcitec gave me a better shave and was easy to clean with just some warm tap water. No extra expense and quick to do. The Arcitec is light weight and less noisy than the Pulsonic. I was very disappointed in the Braun and congratulate Norelco for getting the job done. This is a top notch product. I am a former Braun user and will never go back. Norelco gives you 60 days to try out their razor and Braun only 30 days. I had to eat the Baun since I assumed that the try out period was 60 days.<br /><br />In the contest between the electric razor giants, this one goes to the Norelco Arcitec hands down.
