"I previously owned a Norelco Speed-XL, which disappointed me. Every clean and charge unit I owned would fail within a month or two, and though I'd get a close shave, I would come at the cost of a lot of irritation. To me, this model was not a lot better than the Quadra I had owned previously. I was ready to upgrade, but the reviews that I saw for the Arcitec indicated to me that I probably would have been disappointed again.

A long time ago, I owned a Braun, but had switched to the Quadra because I found the Braun loud and difficult to clean (this was in the pre-cleaning unit days). After reading mostly glowing ratings on the Series 7 Pulsonic, I decided to make the switch. Mostly, I have been quite pleased. There is much less irritation (I think my skin just couldn't handle the tug and slash mechanism of the rotaries any longer), and overall the shave stays closer all throughout the day. Oddly enough, it seems that initially the shave isn't as close as it was with the rotary, but in an hour or so it is better than it was the rotary. Some stray hairs do get missed, but getting used to the shaver reduces that.

This is the Lamborghini of shavers, but in my opinion, it is worth it for something you do every day."

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
