This is mom dad’s return gift for me on their 25th anniversary. 
All of a sudden I had this impulsive desire to get myself an electric shaver. My search landed me on the Braun Series 7 page, and immediately I knew that I wanted one. The website has listed around 8-9 shops in Hyderabad which stock Braun products. I spent the evening calling them up one by one, only to be told that none of them have the series 7. The best one shop was able to offer me was the Series 3, otherwise others had Series 1.
Philips Arcitec
Disappointed, I chose to settle for a Philips instead. The best model launched by Philips in shavers is the Arcitec series. Again, upon calling up a few stores I found that none of them had this. Dejected, I made up my mind to go to a few more stores and buy the best available alternative. And this is when I entered GVK Mall.
The Shoppers Stop at GVK mall is spread over 3 floors, and a small corner on the first floor has a rack which has electronic goods such as mixer, heater, press-iron, and squeezed between all these was the one thing I was desperately looking for. And what did I find when I removed the few boxes which hid the lot – Philips Arcitec!!!
Well, Arcitec comes in 6 models. Three of them are plain and 3 come with automatic cleaning system. Shaving experience is the same though. So if you want to go for the most economical choice, you would select the 1050 model, which is the most basic one. But of course, I did not have any other options there, so 1050 it was for me. The price though was too high – Rs. 13000. Well, I decided to buy it. An Arcitec is a good enough alternative to the Braun Series 7 shavers.
The booklet inside the box mentioned that it might take a couple of weeks for the skin to get used to electric shavers. But little did I know that my skin would irritate after the first shave. Perhaps, it is because I over did it, or perhaps this is what is meant by getting used to. The after-shave feeling though was great. I loved it. My Mach 3 is going to thrash can, its Arcitec from now.
