title: Perfect color and super soft hair

text: This color was perfect. Worked super well using the rubber band method. Will order again in another color.


title: amazing product

text: works great


title: Could be good if you know what your doing

text: It is thick and very heavy, which could be good or bad, depending on your likes. I could not get this to look natural at all for the life of me, but this was also my first time trying something like this out.


title: Not worth the money

text: Not worth the money

title: Don’t waste you’re money

text: Nothing like the description. I had hope for it to. Waste of money...


title: Great longevity in the product as well as versatility.

text: The product has lasted a long time and they are very pretty and versatile.


title: Won’t stick

text: I’ve tried lash bonding glue, the white tube lash glue and a black tube waterproof lash glue and they just won’t stick 😩

title: Lovely

text: Very satisfied. Many thanks


title: disappointed

text: The pallete has a bad poten smell. horrible qualitity. Walmart sells PROFUSION pallets for $11.10  and they are beautiful. Very disappointed


title: Not very reliable product

text: The item stopped working in the middle of styling my hair can’t return at 2 months old!!


title: Good

text: I love the hair. A great add on to the clip ins I already had


title: Does not work at all

text: Tried multiple ways and followed instructions and they don't work now in our money


title: Love These

text: Soaps are small enough to carry in a purse. Or put 2 to 3 in a Plastic bag and you can put it in a pocket. Very handy for every day use during this Covid time.


title: Easy on my skin

text: This soap is awesome i love it


title: Inexpensive and fun.

text: Fun, and enjoy people's reaction to them.


title: Very cute packaging. I love them!!

text: Smell great!! Cute packaging.


title: Great purchase.

text: Smells so good. Nice and light.


title: Excellent

text: Good


title: Does not even last a day

text: I used it a hand full of times so far and I can’t even go a full day without it chipping. Very disappointed!


title: Incredible

text: This stuff is incredible! I have used it only twice, once a week for the last 2 weeks and my hair has went from feeling like straw to super soft and shiny and way more manageable! You don't need much because it's super thick and creamy, a little goes a long way. So happy with this purchase and will continue to buy, highly recommend!


title: Four Stars

text: worked fine


title: Obsessed with this soap & brand!

text:
I could not be happier with both the body wash and bar soap. I own each scent and am obsessed with each of them; I keep a bar of “strength” in my car and “joy” next to my bed simply for aromatherapy! I have replaced my old shower products with the brand’s body washes; I historically have used products dedicated to moisturizing, however, I have found that my skin has been softer than ever since I started using this product. My family and I absolutely adore the products and feel refreshed and renewed after every shower.

The “hope” gift box was ordered for friends and was beautifully curated to include products and brand purpose. They had been eager to try the product after hearing about the brand and the gift box was a wonderful way to give a gift that kept giving this holiday season. I have also purchased various bar soaps over the past months to give as gifts to friends and each has thanked me for introducing them to the brand.

I am definitely going to keep buying products from The Right to Shower because I love the quality of their products, refreshing scents, and their purpose-driven approach. The transparency of their mission and contribution is admirable and I am eager to continue supporting a brand that has a purpose with a product!


title: I recommend to buy! ! ! ! !

text: This is May the second Flosser brush. I bought the first as a gift to my husband, he was very pleased. I decided what I need to buy with nozzles and I found one.<br />Good electric coldress oral irrigator flosser for a low price. The kit includes the device itself, charging and 5 interchangeable tips. Auto shut off after 2 minutes. It cleans well between the teeth. Braces and dentures.In addition, Water Flosser strengthens the gums in the interdental space, as my dentist said, I have less trauma in my gums. I am very pleased with my purchase.

title: Not really matte, but that's okay.

text: Someone in the reviews had said it's very drying on your lips, and  if you use it by its self, it is. You have to put the lip oil on top, for it to feel normal - but then it isn't matte looking. But I will say that the colors are pretty and it is very long lasting compared to other lip glosses I've tried.


title: Five Stars

text: My daughters eczema has cleared up because of this product.


title: Nice colors

text: This style of wire headband does not wreck my hair.  The different individual colors of ribbon entwined on each headband are cheerful.


title: It easy put on looks natural

text: Love this product looks natural


title: Keep an eye on what you actually receive

text: Like others, I received approximately 12 of the blades listed. That's the reason for the bad review, not the quality of the blades. I purchased the pack to try out blades I don't have available locally. If I would have received the blades listed I would have left a good review. Some blades had no writing on the package, could have been anything. I recall a ton of Gilettes like every blade they make probably, I didn't like any of them but at least they were listed in the ad and identifiable. The Feathers and Rapiras were good, Voshkod not bad either. I used them all once and tossed them.  Would be a decent sampler pack if someone wanted to try every type of Gillette razor ever made.


title: Very frizzy

text: It looks so pretty in the package but the hair tangles very easily and looks frizzy. I was really disappointed because I wanted it to last a lot longer but after just a few days it looked like it had been in for weeks. I wouldn’t buy this again.


title: Great buy

text: I enjoyed making this unit. For the price; the hair is amazing. I will be ordering again in a week!


title: Five Stars

text: Good


title: The perfect Brush

text: With the first stroke I made, I could tell the difference. It's almost shocking. It's not hard, or tough on my head. Here's a picture to show the size comparison. I love my brush.


title: shea butter

text: I love this product. It melts in my hand and melts in my hair. My hair is very shiny and moisturized. I just wish it was more fluffy since its supposed to be whipped


title: IN LOVE WITH THESE LASHES

text: I used these lashes a couple of times! I can’t even put into words how much I LOVED these lashes! They REALLY REALLY stay on! I went out, after the club, we went out to eat and these lashes were still very secured! I definitely will be getting me some more pairs...


title: LOVE THESE LASHES

text: I love these lashes! I have always wanted to do false lashes but I am not a fan of The damage glues can do to your real lashes. I tried ardell and had the biggest failure and lost all confidence in magnetic lashes until I found these. I love wearing them and they come off easily. As long as you keep the lashes clean they last quite well. I just wish I had more eyeliner because I wear these like everyday now!


title: Good quality and affordable price

text: The false eyelashes that I bought before all need to be coated with glue. Sometimes when I apply too much, it will overflow out. It is very troublesome to make it. The eyelids feel heavy. The direct use of this magnet has a strong adsorption force. The eyelashes are slightly trimmed, which makes it more natural. Don't be too convenient. I'll buy it in your house later!


title: Too small

text: Bows are much smaller than expected. Should come in pairs.


title: very good

text: I like it


title: Comes with lids

text: Very small


title: I wouldn’t buy again.

text: It’s a good machine when it works, sometimes it will not cut on, not sure if this is due to faulty sensor or what.


title: You get what you paid for

text: Loved that it did what it was meant to do but hated the fact that it broke the pink ends are so flimsy lasted about 7days


title: Price, Availability, Delivery, Usefulness !

text: Easy to apply with quick results !


title: Showed up without lid

text: I'm sure it will work for what I need it for, but I'm a little annoyed that it arrived without a lid. There wasn't one in the package either so it was either never given one or taken off prior to shipping. Very odd


title: Product worked for a bit, then had a hole

text: It worked ok for a couple weeks, then it started to leak via a small hole in the center of the bottom of the base of the blade unit. Not sure how this happened. Frustrating.


title: Perfect fit, super easy to install.

text: Perfect fit, super easy to install.


title: Great product!

text: Works really well and smells amazing!


title: Great way to keep your teeth clean!!

text: This is a very easy to use product, I like how light and easy to manipulate it is.  Totally recommended.


title: Don't waste your money!

text: Don't work. I've beening doing nails since 2008. The drill bits only took off top coat but barely did that, and it didn't take off 2 layers of color!  The 1 drill bit barely worked and The other 2 didnt do anything.<br />Please Do NOT BUY! Always read reviews before buying I wish I did!!


title: Five Stars

text: I really enjoyed this Eyeliner and found it easy to work with. It's very pigmented and budge proof.


title: The color

text: Love the color.


title: Two Stars

text: The hair shed a lot


title: Love Essence brand of Makeup

text: Great price and superb products!


title: Great product

text: I see a difference after the first use! Really great product! It’s now a part of my regular teeth maintenance. Would highly recommend.


title: Bad

text: It was broken


title: Simply does not work

text: Very cheap plastic, and does not work. Eyeliner looks blotchy


title: Difficult to remove

text: Extremely hard to remove from your skin!


title: Improved my hair strength and texture considerably

text: I have been using this product for the past 4 years. I first learned of the Fibreplex products in a salon in England. I had the  special bond-strengthening treatment in the salon and purchased the shampoo and this bond maintainer. My hair health improved within a couple of weeks. In the past, stylists would tell me my hair was brittle, weak, etc. Now, I hear all the time how my hair is healthy. As a result, I've let it grow long.  I am in my late 50's, and I was worried my hair would never have the luster it did when I was younger. These products have really made a different in my appearance and in my confidence.


title: Too Gentle to be Effective

text: This groomer was recommended by someone I trust, so I really wanted to like it. I tried to make it work, but the groomer is too "gentle" to be effective. The groomer itself is heavy and a bit unwieldy. Oddly, for such a sturdy product, the small, round grooming nibs are barely detectable. Due to the short, barely-there, ineffective nibs, the groomer does not remove my dogs' short, smooth hair, nor does it offer much of a massage. The groomer is "meh" at best; I wish I had not missed the return window. Filed under: another useless product.


title: Great Product for great price

text: I ordered these as a replace of a plastic one I had and I am so happy I did!  It is a great product (3 pieces) for a great price!  Love them!


title: La Brasiliana Olio Di Morocco Argan Oil Styling  Cream

text: I love this product and was very happy to find this company to purchase it from. Received great customer service and received quickly. Linda M., Knoxville, Tn


title: Extremely pleased with the ribbons

text: Extremely pleased with the ribbons. So many colors to choose from & the varying degrees of hues of some colors(ex.pink) allow  u to match a multitude of outfits!! 2 tiny drawback- no gray!!


title: Suction Cups Don't Work

text: First the positives, it looks and feels good in the shower. But.. the whole reason I bought this and didn't just run to the store to buy yet another bath sponge were the suction cups. They simply don't work. They seem too SMALL for the job, falling every single time (specially wet after use, but even dry they still fall). Very annoying and reason for the low rating. Not worth returning as it's more work than is worth. Hope they're not planning on people thinking that.


title: Pricey but worthy !

text:
Ok, first i've gotta say this is my first review of a product ever..  But i felt i had to because i did hesitate a lot to buy this product after a lot of mixed reviews, several visits to stores to see the product itself compare it with others and the fact that it's been less reviewed than the Braun Pulsonic which might reflect in less popularity, etc etc..  i decided to take the risk and go again with Norelco, after all if it didn't work for me i have the warranty to return the product.

And now after the first time I used it.. i can tell you that I'm not planning to return anything and keep it for a long time !!  My previous razor was a SPECTRA 8890XL wich was doing good but the plastic thing that holds the head was very fragile and broke for the 3rd time so.. i decided to upgrade.. and i'm very pleased  with the results  it says as with every Norelco razor that you should give 3 weeks of adjustment so the growth of the hair can be adjusted to the new system... so I can't wait to see how will this perform by the 3rd week  :D

I know beards are differents and performance might depend on the shape of the face and kind of facial hair, so here it is: I've got a thick  black beard with a skinny and curvy jaw  IT DID and deliver really good.

All i can say that is a great shaver.. yes the trimmer is almost invisible but nothing that I can't used to, and as a previous review mentioned if you don't care about the digital display and nice extra lights go with a cheaper version...  personally i'm kind of unorganized and always on the run so to know exactly how many minutes are left is a must for me, but again  if you can live without all those "lights" go for the other models.


title: Great Product!

text: Great Product!! The shades are lovely, I'm in love with the dark cocoa color, as well of all the other shades.


title: Really surprised after just 5 days of use!

text: I picked up a travel size tube of the Colgate Optic to take on a recent 5 day cruise with my husband. I don't buy whitening toothpastes so that certainly wasn't my motivation in buying it - this was literally the only kind available at the drugstore at that time! Anyway, we went, we cruised, we ate and drank to our hearts content, and we did our usual brushing routine in the morning and at night.  We've been home for four days now (and have not been using the Optic as we used up our little travel tube) and for the last two days, I've been trying to figure out what the heck looks different when I look in the mirror. I finally clued in tonight - my teeth actually are a little bit whiter! At first I thought it was the ultra bright lighting in the washroom at work, but I noticed again tonight while brushing my teeth before bed. I'm quite amazed that half a travel size tube used for such a short time has actually made a visible difference!  Now, with that being said, I don't think this is something I would use as my permanent toothpaste for two reasons.  One, I have white fillings on my front teeth and I don't want to worry about them looking significantly different from the rest of my teeth, and two, my husband and I both felt a very minor bit of tooth sensitivity toward the end of our holiday.  Neither of us has felt that since we got home so I think the toothpaste was probably the cause of that. Given the results I have seen, I would consider using this perhaps every other day and just keep an eye out for any sensitivity down the road.  I am definitely one impressed customer!


title: easy use and comfortable

text: It's very easy to use and clean. You also can know how much time that you can use very easily. The touch feeling is very comfortable!!!


title: Amazing and cute!

text: So cute and excellent quality. Will buy again in a different shade.


title: Three Stars

text: not very strong


title: Smells so great!

text: I usually buy the Spartan's Den Classic for my Boyfriend. The smell of Legend is 100 times better. It leaves his beard soft and the oil is great for fresh out of the shower. Highly recommend.


title: Does not work on fine hair

text: Does not work on fine hair


title: Matched Description and arrived on time.

text: The ball requires 1 battery and comes with three colorful covers.  My dog was cautious of it at first but learn to chase it.  My dog is a big chewer but all of the covers are still intact despite his heavy chewing.


title: Good shaver

text: I purchased this shaver some time ago, and I'm just now getting to writing the review.  This is a good little shaver that gets a lot of the whiskers laying close to your face.  As opposed to a foil shaver where the whiskers need to be standing up to get cut, this shaver seems to get at them from a side angle.  The moisturizer is expensive and I wound up using my own shaving gel with it instead.  The shaver feels slightly under powered but it's whisper quiet.  It fills up the battery in 8 hours which is just perfect since you can put it to charge before you sleep and then wake up and remove it from the charging stand.  It lasts for 1 to 2 weeks of shaving depending on how fast you are.  There are some other newer shavers like the  Panasonic ES-LA63-S Arc IV which look really interesting and I would love to try one, but until then this shaver does the job.  You just have to go slow, and be gentle to avoid irritation, and go in a circular motion to pick up all the hairs on your face since they can be facing different directions.  Just a note to people who dry shave that the shaver does not collect the whiskers, it's really meant to be a wet shaver and so it has holes to allow for that.

title: The wig will not pass as real hair but it is super cute!

text: I love this wig even though it doesn't look real. I wear it for music videos and around the house. I love the color and style!


title: which one is it? PG or VG

text: [[ASIN:B00PBD5VW8 Half Gallon (64 oz) Vegetable Propylene Glycol]]  Well you just have to make up your minds on this---either it is propylene glycol- or- vegetable glycerine. pick one or the other


title: small

text: The travel kit is smaller than I thought and is hard to zip. Lid doesn't want to stay up. Other than that it is sturdy.


title: Five Stars

text: Cures everything especially skin related issues.


title: Like the product; horrible shipping

text: I like the product but the item arrived with the cap not completely screwed tight. Upon putting my hand in the bag to retrieve the item, soap was all over the bag inside.


title: Caused dandruff that won’t go away

text: I used this shampoo and conditioner for 3 weeks and I started having dandruff much worse than when I was a teenager. Returned it over a month ago and am using another one, but the dandruff appears to be here to stay. Would not recommend.


title: Five Stars

text: I just started using the product I will let you know in a month.


title: Curler

text: I ordered this for my eleven year old granddaughter for Christmas.  I was concerned about how it would work and whether or not she would be able to do it herself.  She was so excited when she opened it and couldn't wait to use it.  As she has very straight hair, I wasn't sure it would do anything for her.  It worked great and the curls actually stayed in for quit a long while. (Usually they fall out as soon as she is done curling it other ways.)  She was very happy with it. It's a little time consuming because you use very little sections of hair at a time but that didn't seem to bother her at all.  I would recommend this curler.


title: The best ever

text:
I really think Norelco makes the best Trimmers in the world.

I have tried many others and paid good money for it, always came back running to Norelco.

This model has all the options you might want, I love the vaciom option on it where is sucks thecut hait in a samll contaner, this way you make a lot less miss than the earler models. It has a battery indecator, which is very imprtant, I can't remember how many times I ran out of power and I have only tremed half of my beard!!!! This one gives you a heads up, and even if you forgot, you can use it with AC power, love that.

Till you the truth, I can't think of more options I would add to this machine.


title: great product!

text: This is the second item ive gotten products from this company and there great. This product is not only low cost but really works. Ive used eyedews before and this product is better. Its reuseable, reduces puffiness and fine lines. Feels great too.


title: Love this!!

text: Love it! It is powder eyeshadow, but is slightly creamy making it easy to apply and highly pigmented!


title: Surprise !

text: I thought I was getting something BIG ,  Should read.


title: Five Stars

text: Great product. I buy them regularly.


title: Very glad I discovered this skin saver

text: Here in Colorado it is dry all the time. This very light oil has saved my skin. It goes on a bit thin and slightly oily but is absorbed by the skin within minutes. I also use it on my dry hands as well on face and neck. Very glad I discovered this skin saver.


Bought 3 of these. 2 are perfect, 1 has a hairline crack in the tip, making it impossible to use on hair. Anyway to contact seller for a replacement? I understand they are a natural product, but this defect renders the stick useless for its intended purpose.


title: A must have!

text: Easy to use and it looks real. Lived it!


title: I love it

text: Such an amazing products thank you so much very fast shipment


title: Five Stars

text: Great hair lasted very long. After awhile the ends get tangled together. But I loved it and so did everyone!


title: Great Product

title: Amazing product

text: Smells amazing, makes my skin feel smooth after cleansing


title: Quality is great.

text: I like the quality of the hair, it doesn’t tangle and doesn’t shed. I used the hair to do box plaits.


title: Not what I expected.

text: Product must have been opened for a long time as there is very little  scent to this lotion.


title: I love it

text: I am absolutely in LOVE! It was so hard to find magnetic lashes but when I tell you I don’t have to search anymore! I recommend it 😍


title: Its great. i bought it for my sister 3years ago ...

text: Its great . i bought it for my sister 3years ago and till this day she stiiill uses it


title: Everything it claims to be

text: I noticed a difference using this neutrogena product after the first use.  The pads are easy to use, store and dispose of.  I would recommend this product to anyone who wants smoother, softer skin and anyone looking to take care of some fine lines before they become big wrinkles.


title: This works well to smooth my bristly beard. I ...

text: This works well to smooth my bristly beard. I prefer this odorless one as it doesn't have any aromas that may clash with other scents on me (deodorant, cologne). If you have a beard and haven't used beard oil before, give it a try.


title: Slow shave takes a long time

text: The motor for this shaver goes so slow compared to what I am used to. It feels like the shaver is in slow motion. It takes a long time to shave compared with the remington I used to use. The blade heads stay sharp for about a month, after chich you have to go over and over the same spot.


title: Five Stars

text: Very pretty jewelry and very good quality.


title: Like these

text: Like these look very nice


title: Cute bob for a great price

text: Great wit for the price . I wore mine everyday for like a month . All it needs is a good co wash and flat iron and it bounces right back ! Well worth your money !


title: Gets very tangled

text: Couldn't be 100 human hair. I don't recommend.


title: Very small bottle, but I definitely seen some improvements ...

text: Very small bottle, but I definitely seen some improvements. I worked third shift usually 13-14 hour days so my eyes took a beating. This eye cream definitely helped relieve some of the tension from around my eyes by way of stress. I gave it 4 stars because on my skin it did soak it in I have very dry skin so I needed a little oil added. But that was my skin.


title: Five Stars

text: Happy purchase! I love my diffuser. It works wonderfully. I am going to purchase another one for back up.


title: Five Stars

text: love the bright colors, just as described, thank you!


title: Great quality and super cute!

text: Everything is great quality, really love the scrunchies!


title: Great!

text: Excellent product! It goes on evenly and you only have to apply it once a day.  I usually put it on and apply a translucent powder on top for everyday wear.


title: Thin not full Human Hair

text: This wig is not a full human hair wig its a mix. I got this installed today and my stylist tried to curl it and it smelled like it was burning so she wasn't able to put curls in it. It's not a wig that you can pluck easily on the part so you definitely need concealer. I wish I could get my money bck smh. This was supposed to be for my birthday and its basically a waste. It's just very cheaply made.


title: I have used this blow dryer comb for 3 years and never had to replace it!

text: The best blow dryer comb I've ever used! It's durable and combs threw natural curly ethnic hair easy.


title: Good

text: Good


title: The easy of applying and wearing

text: The fabric


title: Quality

text: Wig cap too big


title: One Star

text: To hard to tear and I thought they wear perforated . Cheap


title: Great product

text: Keeps my makeup sponge clean and has holes for my sponge to dry between uses. Perfect for my makeup bag and using when traveling.


title: Impressive !

text:
Look and feel is very stylish and the blade technology is pretty impressive. Only thing I feel is that the construction is not as solid as it appears specially when you hold it. The door to the compartment where all the hair gets collected seems a bit fragile when applied some force to open which it needs to be opened. Ergonomics are pretty good on this one but it may take a while to get used to it if you have been using other brands. In general, I am quite happy with this equipment.

The only complain I have is from Amazon which dropped the price immediately after I bought it :( during thanksgiving. There should be a price protection for few days for consumer confidence.


title: Five Stars

text: good


title: Five Stars

text: I love the way it is a journey of God's plan


title: Broken lid

text: My bottle was broken when I got it


title: I wish it smelled better

text: I do not enjoy this scent. Maybe I’ll order a different scent when this is used up. This smells like a citronella candle. Ya know, the ones you use in the summer to keep bugs away?  The smell doesn’t linger once it’s rinsed, though. It rinses clean and softens hair. But the smell is not good.


title: One Star

text: The thread breaks off easily I would not buy these again


title: It'll fade quickly, but to a nice color.

text: I have dyed my hair many times with this brand. Your hair wont be the same as seen on the box, only for maybe the first week. Otherwise it will fade into a pastel-ish kind of pink (Mine is now pink on the top and blonde at the ends because in completely faded out only the ends) But the bright pink it fades to is actually extremely awesome. So if you're going for the pink on the box ya' might as well forget it, but if you want a brighter pink it's wonderful!<br />P.S~ If you work out, go on runs or really do anything involving sweating, hold off on all of that until it is faded.


title: Excekkent Buy

text:
I had a Phillips Norelco shaver prior to this, but was intrigued with the three-heads on the Arcitec 1090.

I't's not inexpensive, but stubstantiates what they say about paying for what you get.

The shave is close and using it for an extended time (I have facial hair that growns several directions and is difficult to shave) does not leave my face burning.  It saves time because it is efficient in cutting even a "difficult" beard.

Even though I do have for an exptended period each time, I have only rechared it once since getting it.  It comes with a very durable and rigid pod for travel and that's important to protect it from being damaged while in the luggage, or even having it turned on by accident.

Looks like I'll be using this shave for some time to come!


title: Worst Norelco Shave ever

text: I bought this shaver at BB&B over a year ago and stubbornly used it for all that time.  I finally gave up and started using an older motel Norelco again.  The older shaver is great.  The arcitec, other than its' design is the worst Norelco I've used in close to the fifty (yes 50) years I've used Norelco electric shavers.  It's a slow shave.  Tricky spots like chin and moustache needed to  be gone over and over again to get a decent shave.  It doesn't hold whiskers, but lets them fall all over the sink and floor.<br />It does look great, but as I said, that's it.  If you want a Norelco buy one of the older models and steer clear of the arcitec.


title: Excellent razor

text: The Norelco Arcitec met all of my expectations: Good shave; hugs my face;<br />very good under the neck; very easy to clean by placing it under hot water. I bought it with a 20 percent discount at Bed Bath and Beyond. My only complaint is that the charger must be removed once the razor is fully charged, which can cause some inconvenience. Overall, I am very satisfied, and I'm glad I bought it.


title: norelco electric razor 1090 arcitec

text: 77 yrs young, decided i needed a break from the blade (5) razor. previously tried several electric razors over the last 50 - 55 yrs. still not happy with the shaving results. old dog, new tricks kind of thing. am not giving up easily. plan to persevere for 3 to 6 months at the very least (after all $200 is $200). i have tried a daily routine but that is really rough on this old face. am down to every other day and that is somewhat better. thank GOD for retirement with no need to impress anyone.


title: Not sharp enough blades

text: I found the blades too dull and didn't cut close to the skin. I don't look well-groomed at all.


title: Excellent job but be careful when cleaning

text: Sooo easy to move and cut, great flexibility and closeness as advertised. After cleaning (holding head under running water with cutting heads open) the instruction is to shake water from the head before laying aside to air dry. Shake vigerously and the whole cutting head pops off bouncing on the bathroom floor - this is not a good thing. With the cutting heads open prior to shaking water out, I suggest putting your index finger firmily on the head to keep it in place. I love it!<br />Pete


title: VERY EXPENSIVE AND SLOW

title: Model 1090

text: Looked in stores right after Christmas and couldn't find model 1090 no where. Everybody was selling the older models.. Ended up ordering it online at Amazon.com.. I've used this razor every day since I've got it.. Works great. Takes about 8 to 10 minutes to shave.. Shaves closer than I remember electric razors use to shave. Stays charged up for over 7 days. Easy to clean. I'd recomend it to a friend if they were in the market for a electric razor.. Only thing it's a little pricey..


title: best shaver I've ever used

text: This is the best shave I have ever had.  Does an excellent job on my neck with the absolute least irritation ever.  Love the rinse under the faucet feature.  The sideburn trimmer leaves a lot to be desired.  It is to small.


title: Never Again!

text: I bought this product for my husband's birthday and he hated it. He said the hair always clogged up inside and then it just didn't shave correctly after that. I'm returning it today for a refund.


title: A guy has to "shave

text: Bought these several years ago and both my son and I love the job it does. Also a good fit in you hand.


title: disapointed

text: i purchased this razor thinking it would shave better than my old norelco but i was disappointed. i got a better shave with my old norelco. i don't like this razor.


title: Super Shaver!!

text:
I have tried electric shavers for nealy 40 years and never got a close shave-until my friend gave me the Norelco Arcitec 1090!!
This is the best by far and I have a tough beard but this cut through it like an ice cutter (ship) in the Arctic.
It's woth the price.
Thanks Norelco!! Sincerely, HRWW


title: Realistic expectations

text:
After reading the mixed reviews of this razor, I decided to take a chance and purchase it.  I don't regret the purchase one bit.

The positive things that have been written about this razor are true.  So are most of the negatives.  But I think the biggest problem most reviewers had are setting their expectations, so let me recap my experience.

I've shaved with blades, foil electrics, and rotaries all before.  I have sensitive skin, so as much as I like the close shave a blade gives, even the best moisterizer leaves razor burn.  Foils have never done anything for me.  So I always find myself with a rotary razor.  The last razor I *loved* was a Norelco, but after five years, the battery simply could not hold a charge.  I tried a Remington last year and was disappointed.  Better than a foil, but not my trusty Norelco.  So I bought this.

First, there *is* an acclimation period to this razor.  Even with my skin "experienced" to rotary razors, it took a month before I started getting *really* close shaves.  So people that write and only gave it two weeks and were disappointed...take it with a grain of salt.  The manual should say *at least* three weeks.  To acclimate faster, you should shave daily.  I know a lot of guys with thin or slow growing beards "cheat" and shave every other day, but it makes adjusting slower.  Every day.  For a month.  You'll be happier.

Secondly, many reviewers comment about how this razor only works on stubble.  This is true, and yes, my older Norelco (and so I assume the Speed XL's still) can tackle longer fur on your face.  But a weed whacker is not a lawn-mower.  The lawnmower you use on your yard is not the same quality as the lawnmower a golf course uses on its greens.  It is about precision.  This razor gives *the* closest shave I've gotten out of an electric.  INCLUDING my old Norelco.  This gets closer.  It is designed for the discerning male who wants a device that grooms with precision and closeness.  The trade-off is, to get that close, the lift-and-cut system simply can't handle longer hairs.  If you shave daily (see above) then you'll never notice this drawback.  But if you let your beard go a day or two at a time, you'll be disappointed.  But this razor isn't for that man.  If a man is okay with letting some fuzz go for a day, he usually isn't looking for that "perfect" shave, and won't notice the difference between the closeness of a less demanding razor and this one.  So this is a device for the elite.

The small trimmer is another criticism.  Again, the facts are true.  It is small.  It is not meant to chop down your entire face.  Philips makes beard groomers for that.  The trimmer, like every other feature of this device, is designed for the man who shaves daily.  It's narrow blade makes grooming sideburns a breeze.  Wider clippers make sideburn sculpting far more clumsy.  You trim and sculpt, then take the razor to the skin and, since it doesn't do longer hair, you get a perfect sideburn.  Again, a design for the man who demands the "perfect" look.

So why four stars if I love this razor so much?  One word.  Price.  The numeric display is nice.  The metal finish looks better than the finish on the 1050 as well.  But neither of these justifies the $140 premium.  I paid it because I think it looks nicer that the 1050, and if I had to, I'd pay it again.  But it doesn't mean I actually think it is *worth* the price.  I just spoil myself that much.  Call me shallow.  But the price, for the comparative lack of features does deserve a loss of a star.

--

In summary, if you want the closest shave from an electric ever then this is the razor for you.  But it asks for some discipline in return.  You have to put attention into yourself to get the most out of it.  If you are fond of facial hair, like growing a goatee or chops, you'll want a groomer as well as this razor.

If you are less demanding about your shave then another Norelco device may be a better option.  The Speed XL is essentially the newer revision of my old razor and I was perfectly satisfied with it for five years.  It was plenty close (but not as close as this) and very comfortable, so really you just have to decide how close you want the shave to be.  If you are a perfectionist, get this.  If not, save your money and get a Speed XL.


title: Philips Norelco 1090

text: New design and improved shave. Found only one problem with trimmer. Trimmer design to close to shaver head and does not stand out. Can not see clearly!


title: New to me

text: After 75 years (Well I didn't really shave during the first 15 years of my life) I decided to switch from a blade razor to an electric razor. Therefore I can't really compare the Norelco to another electric razor. I did find that electric is much more convenient but doesn't give as close a shave as the blade razor.


title: Arcitec Men's Shaving System

text: This is a high tech shaver, and it works all right, but it doesn't shave any better than my previous Philips Norelco shaver which cost less than half as much.


title: SP NEEDS PEOPLE

text: iT IS A GREAT SHAVER BUT FOR SPECIAL NEEDS PEOPLE , THE SHAVER DOESNT DROP  FIRMLY IN TO THE CHARGER.so back to the old relyable corded shavers.


title: My Man

text: I gave the shaver to my financee and he said that it is the BEST shaver that he has EVER had.


title: Norelco Arcitec Shaver

text: Ordered and received it quickly.  It works as advertised and recipient is very pleased with the gift.


title: Disappointing

text: Being a Norelco user for the past 20 years, I expected more from this one.  The trimmer is absolutely horrible -- the lack of an extension (as in previous models) makes it incredibly difficult to use.  The rest is decent, but the high price means more thought from the designers should have gone into this one.


title: Best yet, but why so pricey?

text: I've been a Norelco user for years, needed a new shaver, and was taken by the design of this new model.  After reading the reviews, I expected to get my usual "Norelco shave" - not as close as when I shave with a straight-blade razor, but the best of the electrics.  My skin is too sensitive to shave with a straight-blade razor every day.  I was pleasantly surprised to see that the resulting shave was as close as I can get with a straight-blade - without the irritation.  The angle of the shaving surface is steeper than the regular model, requiring you to keep your hand and arm higher than might be used to, but I got over that in the first two weeks - and, was happy to change given the quality of the shave.  The only thing stopping me from giving this product five stars is the equally steep price.  Norelcos are never inexpensive, but this one really pushes the limit!


title: good looking arcitec

text:
I purchased a Norelco Arcitec recently. l already own a cheaper Norelco several years old.  The arcitec is nice looking and appears very functional.  It looked great, came in a neat container that protects it when travelling and shaved quieter than my other Norelco.  What it did not do was give me a close shave!

At first I thought I was mistaken but after four more shaves I returned to my older model to get a closer shave.  I was very disappointed.  It was definitely not worth the money.


title: Perfect Gift

text: I bought this as a gift for my husband, who had been eyeing it for months. He loves it! I loved the Amazon price.


title: norelco shaver

text: The shaver doesn't satisfy as far as shaving around the sideaburns, ears, and nose areas.  Yes, it may be fine in the neck area, however that is a small part of a normal shave for me.  I prefer the other style.


title: New vs Old

text: I've been using a Norelco Model #l5810XL "old" for quite a while. I decided to find a newer product for a closer shave and easier cleaning. The 1090 "new" seemed to fit the application, so I purchased it. After using it I have found that it doesn't shave any closer than the old Norelco and believe it or not it is harder to handle. The plus side of the 1090 is that it is so easy to clean, just run the cutter heads under the faucet. I hope this review will help someone get a more accurate picture of this item and think hard before you you assume "new" is always better then "old". it just isn't always the case.


title: This is the best Shaver I have ever used!

text:
Okay folks - This is my second review ever written and the first one was for the Braun Pulsonic I just returned to the store! I have used the top of the line Norelco for the past 20 years, while replacing them on average every 2-3 years. I had been using the 9195XL for two years and recently had my original and replacement stolen within the period of 2 months from my luggage while traveling. It was time to finally try something new as I had never strayed from Norelco.

My brother loved the Braun Pulsonic, so I bought one. Yeah, it was cool, had the cleaner, etc... But at the end of the day, it was THE WORST SHAVE EVER!! I have sensitive skin and actually had to get the courage up to use that thing. Well, after 28 days, and continuous facial cuts, and redness, I returned it (not to mention all of the facial hair it left on my face!!!). I bought the Norelco Arcitec based on some reviews I read becuase I just couldn't take the pain of shaving with that thing anymore!

Well, I've been using this shaver for about 2.5 weeks now and never had a re-adjustment period. I got the closest shave EVER from an electric with this thing. Not only was it the closes, it was also the quickest and most painless shave I've ever had. While it's hard to get excited about a razor, I LOVE this thing and actually like to shave every day again, knowing that it won't hurt and will look good.

There are a few bits of criticism about this, which should NOT affect your buying decision.
1) it has to be cleaned every day as the 'hair storage' is much smaller... Okay, small price to pay
2) The travel case is a bit flimsy to travel with. I was used to the solid metal case I had that stored the razor WITH the head cover on it. This one is a two piece case that opens a little easier
3) The Side Burn Trimmer - Not as wide as all previous norelcos, but definately the best/closest trimmer yet!!! I know this is nitpicky, but just my findings.

Good luck with your shaving endeavors... You'll enjoy this unit!


title: Shoddy Construction

text:
Basic shave is OK.  However, this seems very tinny and over designed, especially given the premium price.  The trimmer simply doesn't work well; the grip is awkward, and the trimmer very narrow.

Worse is the fact that the shiny metal cover on the front edge of the razor simply falls out if you put the razor in its travel case.

This is a case of marketing demanding shiny, but no one remembering to make it work and durable.


title: The best electric shave you can get.

text: After a long research and checking almost any review I finally decided on the Arcitec 1090.<br />It will never give you a closer shave as you can get at a barber but is the best electric shave.


title: Improved, but not perfect.

text:
The new shaver does deliver a better shave.  I don't know if this is due to the improved conformability of the shaving heads or the new blades/screens.  Quite better in tough areas like the neck.  Also, less skin irritation on sensitive skin.

The shaver is a good bit louder, but the improved shave makes this easy to adjust to.

The trimmer is a step backwards.  It is smaller, seems to work less effectively, and is partially obstructed by the shaving head.

The travel case is ok, but rarely stays closed when I travel.


title: Five Stars

text: Works great and delivers a smooth shave.  Reliable and holds a charge.


title: Best shave ever

text: I have used an electric shaver most of my adult life and find the arcitec 1090 gives me the best shave and does it comfortably--especially around my neck and adam's apple. I have used the Phillips Norelco system for a number of years--the arcitec is a great improvement.<br />  Cadillac Gene


title: A disappointment

text: I have used Norelco shavers for over 30 years.  It is now a Philips Norelco and I have found it to be a great disappointment.  Out of the box the shaves were impressive but using it over a six month period, my satisfaction with it evaporated.  I recently ordered replacement blades for my previous Norelco model and have retired the Arcitec.  The Arcitec blades seem to dull materially quicker then previous models.  It does not work on cord and in my view does not travel well. The blades individually lift for cleaning and the stubble pit is too shallow. I have always owned top of the line Norelcos. Not sure they still exist,but if your choice is this or a more traditional Norelco...choose that.


title: Nice Shaver if found at nice price

text:
Amazon has weired policy of not matching their own lower price in 30 days or so. So I had bought one few months ago which I returned because amazon would not give me refund when they dropped price within 2 days of my order.
This time I bought on amazon because it showed up in lightening deals. Would not have bought otherwise

I have been using Norelco for few years now and this replaces my other Norelco whose batteries have died in about 7 years of usage (and replacement cost is more than product residual value.)
I have this shaver for 3 weeks now.
Pros: Nice shaver. Works great (better than my previous 8870XL or something). Shave is very clean and close.
Cons: Carry / charge case is bulkier than previous models. Smaller hair chamber than previous models. Cost. 200+ $$ is ridiculous for item like shaver.


title: Best In Years

text: In shaving for the last 30 years, this is the best razor I have ever owned.  I even bought my dad one for his birthday and he loves it.  Excellent cut, follows the contour of my face and is excellent in overall performance.

text:
PHILIPS NORELCO

I HAVE USED YOUR PRODUCTS SINCE THE 50'S AND HAVE ALWAYS UPGRADED AS NEW MODELS WERE INTRODUCED.  I WAS ALWAYS TOTALLY SATISFIED -- UNTIL I BOUGHT THE ARCITEC 1090.

THIS MODEL IN MUCH INFERIOR TO YOUR 815XL - I HAVE GONE BACK TO IT AND DO NOT USE THE 1090.  IT GIVES A POOR QUALITY SHAVE AND TAKES TWICE THE SHAVING TIME.  IT HAS TO BE CLEANED AFTER EACH USE (OTHER MODELS GIVES 2-3 SHAVES AT LEAST BEFORE CLEANING.)  I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED AND HAVE VERY LITTLE RECOURSE AT THIS POINT.  NEED A NEW PAPERWEIGHT?  GOODBY, NORELCO.

title: Best electric shaver yet!!!

text:
I am 64 years old and have owned many electric shavers. This one is the best by far. It gives a great shave and the battery charge seems to last forever. The thing I like best about it is how easy it is to clean. You just flip open the three shaver heads, rinse away the whiskers under the tap, shake off the excess water and then leave the heads open in the shaver stand to dry. Easy. This shaver was pricey, but to me, worth the money.

title: Trash! Basura! Lixo!

text: This has been the second time I purchased a Philips Norelco shaving System.  I didn't learn my lesson the first time that philips Norelco simply thinks that they can sell TRASH for over $100.00  The first shaving system I bought I had to returned it because simply it did not do what they try to make us believe it would do.  The razor will not cut your stubble even after going over the same are for more that 10 times.  It feels so uncomfortable and it leaves patches all over my face.  Waste of time and money.  Shame of Philips for putting overpriced trash in the market.  Consumers, DO NOT throw your money away.

title: Best Norelco I have ever owned!

text: I have owned different models of Norelco Electric razors for at least 20 years but this one is far superior to all previous models.  It gives the best shave I have ever experienced with any electric razor.


title: A huge disappointment

text:
This is my third high end Philips/Norelco shaver in the past 10 years.  I bought this arcitec 1090 with high hopes that it would do an even better job than my previous 8894xl.

I'm sorry to say that after 3 months of using it almost every day... I consider this a step backwards from the 8894xl.  In their quest for a really cool design, and I have to admit it does look really good, they have lost sight of the fact that it actually results in a worse shave.

I find myself having to cover the same ground many more times than in the past and have to concentrate much more to check for missed hairs and spots that I have to go over even more.  Also, the statement that the new design improves the ability to shave your neck is not true, I think it is also worse in this regard.

My advice, dont bother with the cool Arcitec design, buy the top of the line traditional Philips/Norelco model instead.


title: Could be better considering the price

text:
Intro:
My first electric was a Norelco. Once it died I switched to Braun and while the cleaning system seemed attractive at first I got tired of spending on the cleaning solution. I then got a cheap Remington which is pretty decent for the price (around $40 I think) and later got a Panasonic ES8097.
My favorite razor was the Panasonic. It offered a superb shave, cleaning was fast, easy, and cheap. The wet shave was pretty useless, though, and the battery was terrible. I have to recharge it once it indicates an 80% charge. This started a few months ago at 40% and keeps climbing each month. This is why I decided to get a new razor.

Arcitec 1090:
This is a good electric razor, but it has some notable drawbacks:
- Trimmer
- Only cordless use (although the battery is supposed to last long). For the price, I would have preferred the ability to keep on using the razor once the battery dies in a few years.
- Limited range of motion (as mentioned in other reviews). My older Norelco "hugged" my jawline and chin much better. Norelco boasts about "optimum skin contact in curved areas" but when shaving often there's not enough contact in some areas. Contact is great on the cheeks and neck.
- No wet shaving. I prefer dry shaving, but the option would have been a pleasing addition for such an expensive razor.
- Price. It's a nice razor, but not $240 nice.

On the positive side:
+ Great shaves with very little initial irritation. After using it for a few days there was no irritation at all.
+ Fast shaves
+ Comfortable
+ Low maintenance
+ Easy to clean. No need to purchase additional cleaning supplies. One can use the small brush provided, rinse under hot water, and/or submerge the head in hot water with a bit of soap and turn the razor on.
+ Nice display which is not ON all the time.
+ Charging stand and pod. The pod is a bit larger than the razor itself, but I did not find it inconvenient when traveling.
+ Fully charged in one hour
+ Seems to be well constructed. Originally I had purchased a Remington F-720 designed by BMW. As soon as I took it out of its box I was disappointed. It felt like a cheap toy. I returned it and got the Norelco instead.

The 1050x, 1060x and 1090x have slightly different features but the razor itself is essentially the same. One can download the manual and compare them. I chose the 1090 since the price difference with the 1060 was minimal where I bought it, and I liked the idea of being able to see exactly how many minutes of battery I had left. I was lucky to find a place that had them on sale, and additionally I had received a coupon for a 30% discount in my purchases. I am very happy with this razor, but I would never pay $240 for it.

Conclusion:
Overall I'm very happy with the Arcitec 1090X. For the price, I think that Norelco could offer a better product. I'm glad I found a great deal on mine, otherwise I would have chosen a different razor probably similar to my Panasonic.

text:
The worst Philips shaver I had in over 25 years.  Cool, yes, but innefective.
The trimmer is a joke.
My old 9850XL was much better, I used to take 4-5 minutes to shave, now it takes me up to 9 minutes, plus I have to wash it after every shave.  Battery life is too short, and if I want to charge it on the go, I have to take the stand or the case with me as you cannot power it directly.
Design above usefullness, not for me!


title: Best razor yet

text: I have been using Norelco razors for the last 26 years. This razor gives the best shave of all of them hands down. The heads follow the contours of my chin, face and neck perfectly resulting in a significantly closer shave than the Spectra 8894 it replaces.


title: 3.5 stars

text:
Philips Norelco Arcitec 1090 is my first electric shaver ever and I've been using it for 7 months now. I had been pondering on whether to take Brown Pulsonic or Philips Norelco for quite a while, when ultimately it was probably the looks of the latter that prevailed so I ended up with it.

All in all it is a pretty good shaver, but not great. Perhaps I should start off with mentioning that I am NOT one of those with a thick and bushy beard, so I usually shave every other day. Normally I spend about 5 mins on shaving. At times my skin gets slightly irritated, which might result in light-red patches under my chin. Most of the time it's fine though, and I can get a decent shave. However, not always is the shave that clean. Sometimes certain hairs (esp. on the side - around my jaw and around my whiskers, or under my chin) will be left out, so I'd have to trim them separately with the trimmer.

Oh yes, the infamous trimmer. It really is more of an aesthetic feature on the shaver than a tool serving its real purpose. It's just too small and inconvenient. At times I'm having difficulties accessing parts of my face with it, unless I took off the shaving heads.

The shaver also comes with a neat LED display that shows how many minutes of shaving time there is remaining. Great. This was one of the features that won me over about this shaver. But what I resent is that it's inaccurate. Well it does accurately show how many minutes you have shaved, but when it comes down to 0 mins, one would expect the battery is about to die, yet usually I can still squeeze several shaves out of it (which means additional 10-15 mins). In the instructions manual it says that after 3 charges it should display the remaining shaving time accurately, but I've already charged it at least 5 times now, and no difference. The highest shaving time is supposedly 65 mins. What is rather curious about all this is that on each charge I've actually been gaining additional minutes to the proposed 65 mins, so the numbers have gotten up to 81 mins on my most recent charge. I would be perfectly happy with getting those additional minutes if that means that the shaver will eventually display the time properly so that if 0 mins is remaining, then 0 it really is. (Perhaps once I've have charged it 10 or more times the display will finally get normal, as suggested in the manual? If it does, I might as well mention it here.)

Anyway, speaking of the battery, this is one of the features I am really content with. I can get numerous shaves out of one charge; therefore, there's nothing but praise on this part.

I also like the fact that the shaver is easy to wash. You simply open the shaving heads and rinse it.

One thing that I as well dislike though, is the On/Off button's silver paint peeling off already after only a couple of weeks' use. But alright, that's already going into details now.

Pros:
- attractive looks
- long battery life
- light and not too loud
- easy to wash

Cons:
- trimmer
- doesn't always shave ALL the hairs clean
- sort of inaccurate LED display
- paint peeling off of the On/Off button

If I could, I would give this shaver 3.5 stars. However, for a 4, I guess it will still at least have to get the LED display straight. So if after 10 or so charges it does, then I am giving it a 4. We shall see.


title: Quiet, good looking but uncomfortable shave

text: Pros: This shaver is quiet and extremely light. Also well very well designed aesthetically.<br />Cons: Very rough shave, irritates the face. While the shaver is very light, if you are traveling you still need to bring the bulky and heavy protection case which acts as the charging station.


title: The Cadillac of Electric Shavers

text:
This top-of-the-line NORELCO electric shaver, the Arcitec 1090, is absolutely,  and by far, the BEST electric shaver I have ever owned, and I am 74 years old on 31 August 2008.  It performs quietly and efficiently, it is easy to clean and maintain, and you definitely know you have in your hand a beautiful and outstanding product.  It is expensive, but like all things in life, you get what you pay for !

title: Form but not function -- take a pass on this razor.

text:
Be wary of this razor. It's a definite downgrade from previous Norelco razors in terms of function.

Pros:
 - Looks cool
 - Cleans easily
 - Shaves stubble (and only stubble) close
 - Can be returned to Norelco within 60 days for a full refund

Cons:
 - Does not handle anything over stubble well for long. Has very shallow reservoirs for the hair to collect in and when you shave anything longer than stubble it gets gunked up and doesn't perform as well.
 - Will spray hair everywhere if you tilt it off your face while running.  This is a result of the shallow reservoirs. The hair seems to collect on top of the razor instead of inside it.
 - Needs to be cleaned after each use. Hope you get all those stray hairs the first time!
 - Head will shoot off and bounce around the room if you're not careful when drying it.
 - Only has 65 minutes of shave time (compared to 85-120 on old models). It took about 10-15 mins per shave so I got 6 shaves in at best.
 - Trimmer does not extend. It's pretty much impossible to see what you're trimming.

If you want a razor to shave stubble close and look cool then this is for you. Otherwise be prepared to stick the razor in it's coffin like carrying case and ship it back to Norelco.

Myself, I returned this and downgraded to the Norelco 9195XL (last year's model basically). It has none of the cons of the arcitec and it's 100 bucks cheaper new on ebay ... too bad amazon doesn't seem to carry it.


title: Great Razor

text: Great razor but has one fault - it really doen't shave that close, but then there arn't any out there that do unless you use a blade.


title: Philips Norelco arcitec 1090 Men's Shaving System review

text: I bought the 1090 to replace my Norelco bb9190xl as it's heads seem to slide around. The 1090 works quite well except that the heads seem to flip a bit. The heads need to be a little tighter. Also it would benefit greatly if there was a small ridge/ledge at the curve above the switch for us to put our thumb against. This would improve the handling; especially for us with arthritus in our hands.<br />I do like seeing around the heads while shaving and the fact that the cutter assembly does not fall apart while cleaning. The heads have no resivor so I have to rinse the heads every time I use the razor and leave it open to dry. I wonder about using the razor with washed heads  without spraying with lube after each use.

I recently purchased the Philips Norelco arcitec 1090 men's shaver and I find that the shaver does a good job and it has many nice features. But the trimmer is much to be desired, the head for the shaver blades gets in the way of the trimmer head because the trimmer does not come out far enough so you have a hard time maneuvering the trimmer around and seeing what you are doing.

I purchased the shaver from Amazon.com and I thought the price was good compared to other providers.

Thank you,
Fred


title: Sorry, I choose Amazon

text:
This is my first time using Amazon.com for purchases other than books and software.  So after carefully examining the various razors and reading previous purchasers critiques  I decided to go all out and buy the "TOP" of the range product the Philips Norelco arcItec 1090XD Men's Shaving System.
This was not a snap decision as I also physically examined the model in Booths chemist.  And after admiring the self cleaning aspects of the so called "SYSTEM" I gave myself a little treat and placed the order. This order also included an extra carton of cleaning lotion and a spare set of cutters.
I duly received the product but low and behold no cleaning "POD".  How can this razor be accurately described as a shaving system. Surly a top of the range "Shaving system" includes the cleaning pod.

Enough of my woes but buyers beware. Once bitten twice shy.

On the razor itself I cannot say enough to express by satisfaction with this product.
I have over the pass 40 years always used an "electric" razor. Including 2 Braun and more recently 3 Philips or Norelco models.

The razor is a joy to use. It gives a lovely and almost silent cut. It looks and feels fantastic.  The humble "electric" razor has certainly come along way and progressed to the development of this model. The design is so well balanced between the cutting heads and the main body it's as if the cutters were attached to the top of your thumb.  The charging system does exactly what it say on the box and is fully charged in 60mins. It does remind you to empty and clean the cutter head after every use. But this is a relatively straight forward exercise and not as off putting as other commentators have suggested. The recharging stand complements the razor in both design and usefulness. It has suction pads on the bottom to ensure that the stand and razor won't move from its correct place.  OK the trimmer is not as big as on my current model. But it does exactly what I need in tidying sideburns and trimming over ears etc.
Look it's a Razor not a hair grooming machine.

Would I recommend the razor?  Most definitely YES, it's a man's razor. And thankfully as previous ladies have comment on its does not suit their needs.  So hopefully I will not see my wife borrowing it either.

However be careful where you buy the product and don't get stung like me.

title: Never again a Arcitec.

text: Been using Norelco's for about 25 years and have been using this one for about 2 years now. First this is the most expensive Norelco I've purchased. Second, it doesnot shave as close as my older model or previous models I've had. Third, cannot plug it in if I forget to charge it (luckily I still have my six year old model (8140xl) that does plugin) and Fourth, If I don't rinse this shaver after every shave (which would be everyday) I would get shavings all over my robe,etc. on the next shave. Note: I am buying another Norelco but not the Arcitec or SensoTouch line.


title: Finally an electric razor that works!

text: I've tried numerous electric razors over the years.  I started with a 3-head rotary system similar to this, then switched to a foil cutting system, and back to a 3-head.  None ever seemed to give me the close shave that I expected...until now.  Right after I got this charged up, I gave it a go and was simply amazed.  The shave was close and smooth, and it didn't feel like it was eating my face alive!  The ease of cleaning makes this razor a no-brainer too.  Simply open up the heads and rinse under hot water after shaving.  If you want it cleaner than that, you can then close the heads and submerge the cutting heads into soapy water or Norelco's cleaning solution and turn it on for about 30 seconds.  The only drawback I could think of with this razor is that it cannot be used while it is plugged in.  I know after a few years, my old razor wouldn't hold a charge for very long, so I generally just used it plugged in.  We'll see how this one does a few years down the road!


title: Norelco electric razor

text:
I find that this electric razor performs very well.  I had another Norelco for many years and was happy with it too.  I gave in to the Braun promotions and purchased on from Amazon about a year and a half ago.  I was very disappointed with the Braun razor performance, so here it sits, unused and gathering dust.  For something which costs over two hundred dollars and performs such a simple task, the product was way over sold.

title: norelco razor

text: The new norelco razor is amazing !! I've used many electric razors and this one is by far the best.


title: Nice and Smooth

text: I was pleasantly surprised after reading all the negative reviews.  This really did prove to be the smoothest shave I have had.  Washing was very easy.  My only complaint is not supposed to be leaving the device in the charger beyond the charge cycle.


title: Very impressive , yet not flawless

text:
I used to have Norelco 8894XL , which I have loved  for 8 years,  but now the battery is dying.

I bought this one based on Amazon reviews and I should have paid attention to them for the  good and the bad sides.

I will ignore the price benefit factor, there are cheaper models with the same look, so I guess if you want to budget you have options.

Good.
- Amazing design, you want to look at it and touch it!
- Much smoother shave then my Norelco 8894XL, amazingly better!
- I loved the packaging the stand and the travel pack is very handy, good idea to let it charge from the travel package itself.

Bad.
- BATTERY CHARGE practically HALF THE TIME OF THE OLD ONE (honestly I did not realize this!)
- cleaning is not self explanatory.
- Pretty much useless trimmer.
- Travel packaging is rather tricky to open.

Very nice shave, but not a  flawless product!


title: this is the real deal a must have

text: this dose the job i love it the only issue is it can get my neck real good but besides that its an a+


title: Excellent!

text: Had a Braun.  Required special cleaning solution, got dull fast, caused in grown hairs.  Got this.  Closer shave.  East cleanup-just running water.


title: My replacement Norelco

text:
I received the 1090 and it gives a very comfortable shave.

Having read the negative reviews before purchase, I cannot agree with any of them.

There is no excessive noise and it is quieter than my older model Norelco. It shaves smoothly and there is no razor burn.

I make one exception to my statement above. I also do not think it is worth $240, but then no razor is worth that kind of money.

title: New product not as good as the old one

text:
[[ASIN:B000TFNH9C Norelco Arcitec Razor - 1090X]]

I have been using a Norelco Spectra 8894XL for many years and decided to "upgrade" to the new Arcitec with the modern design. Mistake!! It is not as good as the old one!


title: New designe

text: The new design is a very big improvement from the traditional Nelcro. It is easy to clean and you can see better for close areas like the side burns and nose. It is not cheap but well worth the improvement in technology.


title: Shaving Failer

text: Always loved NORELCO, but this time "ALL FALL DOWN" very rough on throat area ,doesn't cut as close unless you go over&over&over. The price for this razor is much too HIGH!


title: Five Stars

text: THE BEST NORELCO YET


title: Avoid the sun disclaimer

text: Didn't notice any change in my skin (maybe a little more dull than normal). To be fair, I didn't use much due to disclaimer to avoid the sun. I may try using it again in the fall.


title: Very poor shaver

text:
I've used Norelco shavers all my life so I was hoping that this supposedly top of the line model would be better than previous models. I was SO VERY disappointed. The charge time on my previous model was well over 100 minutes. This one is 65 minutes fully charged. And the shave quality is very poor. I only have fine hair but even on my face, this shaver just doesn't do a good job. I am so frustrated with this shaver - it cost a lot of money and the shave is bad.  I couldn't recommend it to anyone! And the travel case is junk. Nothing like the leather pouch I got with my previous shaver 6 years ago.

Don't waste your money on this garbage!


title: Great tanning lotion

text: This lotion looks natural and smells great!


title: Five Stars

text: Like the product. Use it often.


title: Wonderful diffuser!

text: I can't believe how much better my hair looks using this diffuser! More volume, better defined curls! Sometimes it collapses partially on one side during use because I wiggle it around while diffusing but not a big problem. It fits on my Remington dryer which I purchased at the same time without an issue. Love it!


title: Love this!

text: Easy to use and disgustingly satisfying ^-^. Will order again!


title: Great stuff!!

text: This is Great stuff!!!  It definately awakens your scalp & hair.  I use it once a week in addition to Aveeno Nourish and Volume.  It smells awesome.  Because I don't use this "Stand alone" I can't say how well it works as a daily shampoo..however I give it high ratings!<br />I also use the Root Awakening Strength restoring spray - and it's great...gives extra body to hair. It's also soft and doesn't leave hair stiff or sticky!!


title: Great seller to work with great hair

text: Hair is very full. Very nice grade A hair can’t wait to install I’ll update with pictures when installed


title: Good towels for drying wet hair

text:
Th[[ASIN:B074DW8MBZ CUH 4 Packs Microfiber Hair Towel Super Absorbent Turban Wrap With 2 Bonus Headbands]]

I love these towels. They are absorbent and make hair dry faster. I can give two away to my daughter.  I give them 4 stars for the towels are bit long for my head. This can be adjusted easily. Also I like nutral color. They are a bit too bright  for my taste..


title: weightless, unsticky sun protection for the face

text:
I tried this product on a whim while visiting Tokyo.  This, combined with a face powder, is perfect for summer.  It delivers a high SPF, a matte finish, and sheer coverage.  I've gotten so many compliments since returning home wearing the under base mouse and powder.

There's little or no moisturizing effect, so I have to use a little moisturizer on my cheeks.  The oily T zone stays matte longer with this than it has with anything else I've tried.  Good stuff.


title: Appear sturdy but received broken

text: I have really thick hair and I ordered these for that reason. While they seem "sturdy" , they did not come to me that way as you can see.  Much bigger than I expected and disappointed that I received them with broken pieces.


title: Great shave from an electric....solution to annoying unplugging.

text:
This new Norelco Arcitec razor provides a great shave with little irritation.  I had a Braun Syncro previously, and it would leave little hairs everywhere on my neck.  This new designed head flexs and pivots in all different ways to have more contact with the skin.

The jet clean station works good and is interesting to watch.  It does a good job of cleaning the razor heads of hair and debris.  There is however, one annoying issue.  Norelco says you should not charge the razor until it needs it to maximize battery life.  The jet clean system however, automatically goes into the charge cycle after cleaning and a two hour dry time!!  If your like me, you will probably be at work two hours after shaving.

My solution to the unplugging is:

I picked up a plug in rocker switch at Home Depot to go between the wall outlet and the Norelco Transformer plug.  I then shave a little earlier in my morning routine and clean the razor in the jet clean system.  I then turn the switch off while the system is in the 2 hour drying cycle.  This is ok since the razor is basically air/drip drying anyway.  If it needs charged, I turn the switch on while I know I'm going to be home for and hour then turn back off.  This is a bit annoying, but if I spent almost $200 on a razor then I want it to last.  You could also just unplug it during the drying mode, but I like the switch so I don't have plugs and cords everywhere.


title: 3-pack, picture looks like 6

text: My fault for not reading the description more carefully, but the picture is a bit misleading. It shows each brush front & back, which makes it look like there are 6 brushes in the pack. I thought it was a good price for 6. Then the package arrived with only 3 & I realized my mistake.


title: Not sure it's the real thing

text: What product I did receive smells nothing like what it did in the tanning salon. Questioning the validity of the product.


title: They are poor quality and very small.

text: These are not as they were described. They are very small and of very poor quality.<br />I’m sorry I purchased them.  They are not worth even one star on any category.


title: Misleading!!

text: Ok I don’t ever write review but for this was a must. First off material it says metal, it is not metal the little hair clip is metal but the butterfly itself is like a thick piece of paper. I spent $10 on a piece of paper I could have printed myself with a hair clip I could have taken off of my kids bows so it would have not cost me a thing. False advertising don’t waste your money like at all


The seller was spot on! The cologne is nice for about 30 seconds#


title: cute, great for skincare time

text: so cute and soft! comfortably keeps the hair out of my face when i use skincare facemasks. i wash these headbands by hand and hang dry them when needed.


title: An easy, safe, effective way to brush(but a bit expensive)

text: Dentists all over the country are recommending the Oral-B electric toothbrush.  There are several reasons.  It does the work for you, vibrating thousands of times a second, massaging your gums, it lets you clean your teeth without scraping your gums with a toothbrush, which can cause them to recede and bleed, and it reaches between your teeth to catch plaque and germs.  This is a wonderful toothbrush, and I recommend it.  However, if you want a review of a toothbrush, you'll read the toothbrush page.  This is a page for replacement heads.<br />There's a lot of confusion about replacement heads for Oral B electric toothbrushes on Amazon, and I just want to give you all some facts.  There are only three kinds of heads for ALL Oral-B electric toothbrushes.  Flexisoft EB17, Extrasoft EB17, and Ortho OD17.  I prefer Flexisoft EB17. (The Extrasoft is a little too soft, and the Ortho is overpriced for very little extra benefit.)  I'd recommend the Flexisoft heads over this one, and they're less than half the price.


title: Great product!

text: I am purchasing this because the rollers on my old one are showing signs of wear--some of the teeth are broken and there are some cracks in the barrels.  So, why 5 stars?  It's because I've had it at least 20 years.  Very rarely did I unplug it.  When I received the new one, I saw in the literature that I could just reorder the rollers.  It is handy to take on trips and works very well!  Great product!


title: Good blade for PS3 RSX IHS removal

text: Gonna be honest I have nothing to scrape. I bought these for the blades because they are thin enough to wedge in between the PS3’s GPU and IHS. You stick a blade in one corner in between the VRAM chip and the IHS and then tap the blade with a small screwdriver or hammer. This gently separates the old crusted thermal adhesive and should help remove the IHS with minimal effort.


title: Five Stars

text: GREAT STUFF


title: more fun with bundle monster

text: I am very pleased with this set of bundle monster plates. There are lots of new designs and many that coordinate to create a full nail design or use as small accents for those who want a minimal effect. The plates seem to be etched deeper than the last set I bought. I had good transfers from all I have tried so far. The biggest drawback I see is that the full nail designs are to small. I use them to make half nail design and still had to patch edges. There are a lot more holiday etchings but would like to see a new years one like a champagne glass with streamers although I can do that myself I love the extreme detail these image plates produce. The biggest issue for me is picking a polish that has enough contrast. I find myself wanting to try something else after a few days because there are so many fun ideas to choose from. I stopped using the UV topcoat so I could change polish more often.


title: Best Blow Dryer

text: Amazing blow dryer, love using the diffuser on my wavy hair!!


title: Really good eyelashes

text:
These eyelashes are perfect. I like big fluffy dramatic eyelashes, so these were great. They do not feel heavy.
They are  really good for price as well.
They are durable, if taken care of, they should last a while
I would definitely recommend these if you like nice big lashes


title: OMG this stuff is amazing, I have been mixing it with baking soda ...

text: OMG this stuff is amazing, I have been mixing it with baking soda and a couple drops of water and putting it in my rubber teeth whitining trays for 30 to 45 minutes. After removing the trays I brush my teeth with what's remaining in my mouth for one to two minutes. I've charted my progress on a white scale. My teeth were a 9 on top and 13 on bottom on a color scale chart. All my teeth are now at a 4 and I have only used this method 4 times. For the first time in my life perfectly white teeth are in my future. Great buy highly recommended.


title: Beautiful

text: They are beautiful in color. A bit cheap. The back had fallen off a couple but I just reglued them. Other than that they are great.


title: Skin feels smooth and supple!

text: Masks made my skin feel soft and more elastic and really cleaned out my pores. My pores look smaller. Awesome products.


title: Not impressive.

text:
I really, really wanted to like this. Watched the videos, read reviews, did the homework before purchasing & the vintage look was so dreamy.
However, I am not impressed. It does the job for my circles under the eyes but I wouldn't say it had a pink tone (&I'm fairly pale). The container really isn't anything special. The delivery wrapping is the prettiest part. The smell of the power isn't as described & the pad that comes with it has a terrible smell.

So as it does the job, needless to say I won't be ordering this one again. May try the others but not as eager to do the second chance anytime soon.


title: Cheap but ok

text: They look kind of cheap but they look very nice. It worth the money that I paid and they will last long enough.


title: This may be good for very limited uses

text:
This may be good for very limited uses, but I don't have any of those uses to test. The main issue is that it is for oil-based paint only, which has limited miniature/model applications. While the bottle didn't specify what surfaces it can safely coat, I have tried a few. It bonded to acrylic and alcohol base paint, unable to be removed. Also bonds to primer and the enamel I tested. Makes it mostly useless except for specific applications.

Unfortunately, the product description didn't mention what paint or materials it works with.


title: Great Product

text: I have to say that Tiktok made me buy it but it was actually worth the purchase I’ve had it for a week and I use it every morning to wake myself up. Nothing else can do that besides the super and very cold ice up against your face. Plus it’s nice for a little refresher later in the day.


title: Good but has much more potential!!

text: I only gave it a three because the straps aren't long....so I have to put it on tight which causes headaches at times. Not an every day rag for ppl with big heads like myself. I do love the feel and the look, could have easily got 5 stars, but little differences mean a lot.


Honestly, the brushes wre so stiff I felt like they were going to cut my eyelid /face. I used them a couple times then decided to throw them away. And the pallet itself was cheap. I was disappointed.

text: Shipper/seller was great.  Just not that fond of the fragrance -- too heavy.


title: Flimsy

text: Both kinds of floss snapped really easily and the plastic is flimsy. Not a fan.


title: Not What I Thought

text: I thought these were replacement nose pads, that screw in, which is what I needed. The stick on pads I received instead will hopefully last me long enough to order what I truly need. They are fine as far as the product goes, I just thought I was getting something else.


title: The product is great, I really like it

text: The product is great, I really like it. My problem is with the packaging. The containers were open and not screwed on all the way. Most of the bottle was emptied and in the envelope.


title: Love them great quality.

text: Just like description, love the colors.


title: Too small

text: These barely fit my fingers wihout a cotton ball, let alone trying to actually use them as intended over a cotton ball. I couldn't even use them because the fit was so tight with cotton ball and it pops off


title: skin smoother

text: This face mask helps smooth my skin out my makeup looks smoother this is a great mask to smooth the skin


title: Great

text: Used it for a cartilage piercing. Loved the spray form, really convenient.


title: Questioning the Quality in Multipack & Single

text: I have used this particular eyeliner for several years now. I like the thinner line and precise point this has provided over the years. This last order contained 3 in a pack. All 3 had an amount that was less than normal, or became brittle midway and broke and left very little to be able to use. My most recent order was a single which was the same quality, less than normal, brittle. I broke one of the pencils in half to see if there was still more liner in it to use (knowing I would not be able to use that particular one if I broke it) and it still had some in the pencil. I'm not sure if this is through all Maybelline products where the quality has changed. For sure, its changed with this pencil. I'm going to purchase one at a local store to see if this problem does also exist with those found in stores and will update and document days I was able to use and if it also contains more liner after being "out" and breaking it in half.

title: Lavender Wow!

text:
I've always wanted a plethora of the lovely boutique gifts that I usually can't afford, so I decided to try making some myself!  I used New York BioIogy 100% Pure & Natural Lavender Essential Oil to make some Lavender Bath Salts.  I googled to find a free recipe and just needed epsom salts, sea salt, food coloring and a small decorative jar (you can buy the kind of jar I used at a good craft store), and of course, the Lavender Essential Oil, which New York Biology sells for a very affordable price here on Amazon.

It was so easy to make the bath salts, and within mere moments of opening the bottle of essential oil and adding just a few small drops of it to my mixture of salts, my kitchen smelled like a lovely lavender sachet!  As soon as I can get the kids to sleep, I'll be having a nice, long, uninterrupted soak with this!

I used 1/8 cup Epsom Salt and 1/16 cup Sea Salt, 3 drops Lavender Essential Oil, several drops of red and blue food coloring, and then mixed it well. Then I spooned it into the jar and applied a cute little label with a gluestick! That’s all there is to it! (Some recipes I found used baking soda or baking powder, however it's been reported that if the mixture isn't COMPLETELY dry, the baking soda/powder will cause the jar to explode, so I left that part out of the mix.)

It smelled so good!  I’m thinking about also mixing this with some coconut oil (as a carrier oil, because you shouldn't use essential oils undiluted on your skin!) as a lovely lotion for the inevitable winter-roughened skin I get every winter!

Unlike some other Lavender Essential Oil brands I’ve used in the past, New York Biology’s Lavender Essential Oil’s scent lingered for quite awhile, which I was very pleased about. Other oils I’ve tried in the past dissipated too soon, but this was not the case with this oil.

I'm planning on making a lot of the Lavender Bath Salts with this oil and use them as stocking stuffers for Christmas!

*DISCLAIMER: I was offered a complimentary bottle of this Essential Oil to facilitate my review. My review is my own honest experience and opinion of the product and was not influenced in any way or otherwise compensated for.


title: Perfect for thinning hair

text: I love this product!  It has dramatically helped my hair to grow longer and stronger! I love it!  For all of my fellow naturalistas, it is a MUST have in your hair care products.


title: No chipping on natural nails for a week

text: I have been doing my own natural nail manicures for years and Orly is the polish brand that keeps for a week. No chipping or flaking.


title: Meh.

text: You get what you pay for, I guess, and at $2.30, that is certainly true. Dime sized, but no pain when wearing, and fooled my whole family. Got 3 blue and 2 gold, and one of the gold ones was broken. That disappointed me because now I can only have snake bites ( why I ordered them ) if my outfit goes with blue. Arrived May 4, tracking said May 13 through June, so that was a plus. Packaged well, but be sure it is turned properly right-side-up and all contents have settled in the bottom.


title: how to prevent leakage

text:
i've had this toothbrush for about 4 months now and it still looks brand new.  i just checked inside the battery compartment and it's perfect; i've never seen a drop of water inside it any time i've checked.  inside where the brush screws on, it looks brand new also.  there was a drop or two of water up in the brush shaft, but i think it had been prevented from dripping into the base by a seal*.  the base shows no signs of water at all.  i had the first version of sonicare toothbrushes that stood vertically on the recharging base and those always had water dripping down into the inside.  what's the difference?  i read so many reviews of water leaking into the base and the battery compartment i decided to store it vertically, but upside down.  that's right: UPSIDE DOWN.

honestly, some of the negative reviews i read had me so scared, i've been pretty obsessive with it.  after i brush my teeth, i rinse it well but only to about an inch above the logo.  i certainly don't submerge the whole thing.  then i vigorously shake off the excess water.  then i wipe the outside of the toothbrush with a towel.  then i stick it upside down in a toothbrush slot until next use.  did i mention i was obsessive?  well, anyway, it works like a charm and it's still in perfect condition.

also, i have not used any of the newest models of sonicare, but i'd rate this one as slightly better than the original model, which had a guard around the brush that got in the way.  sonicare is the best performing toothbrush i've ever owned by a landslide.

*or more likely because it was upside down.

title: Was first skeptical....

text: Honestly, when I took this out of the box I thought, "geesh...I just wasted 18 dollars," but I gave it a shot on my incredibly long, wavy, crazy hair, and it was worth every penny.  This brush is very light and unassuming.  The bristle design helps tremendously with tangles, something I have to battle multiple times per day.  I usually cringe at the thought of brushing my hair out after a shower, since, it typically is a tedious and painful battle, but I commend the designers of these brushes.  For the first time in my life I didn't have to spend 30 minutes of my day picking through my hair with a comb/brush, in front of a mirror, and ripping out multiple rats.  The design of this brush cuts down on detangling time and did not cause me the pain that I am used to.  Not to mention, it doesn't rip out a handful of hair every time I brush with it either.  Worth the cost.  Give it a shot.

text: I had stomach surgery for a cancerous tumor GIST. Started using this cream 5 weeks after surgery twice a day as stated, and it REALLY works! Not only are my suture scars starting to naturally blend in with my skin, my staple scars and keloid line is actually vanishing as well !! I use all 3 scar removal products on different days, no sequence to which one, just twice a day. I AM VERY IMPRESSED !!


title: Works perfect for me, but not perfect for everyone.

text:
I love shaving in the shower. This shaver works great for that purpose.  I don't use the propriety Nivea shaving moisturizer; I just use a small dollop of Nivea's regular shaving gel ($3 for a large canister available anywhere) and that works fine.  It is a little slower than my old Norelco Advantage in that it requires several passes over an area to get a nice shave.  The flexible head design is amazing; it can really get that stubborn neck hair that my old shaver used to miss.  The open design makes it not that great for dry shaving as the hair gets everywhere, but I use it 98% of the time in the shower that that is not a big issue for me.

The reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is due to it's charging mechanism.  Charging the shaver in 4 hours sounds like a good idea, but the manual strictly admonishes against overcharging.  Hence, it is actually a bit of a pain. If I bought the low-end shaver that charges in 8 hours, I'd charge it in the morning and it would be ready when I get home from work.  If I bought the high-end shaver that charges in 2 hours, I can plug it in whenever I feel like and unplug it 2 hours later.  A 4 hour charging time requires a larger block of time for me to have to remember to charge the thing.  Why couldn't Norelco make a charger that automatically shuts off or goes to trickle charge when the battery is full?  Also, why the need for a base?  It takes up counter space in my bathroom and is bulky for traveling.  My old shaver did not have a base and was great for travel as the AC adapter plugged directly into the razor.

If I had to do it all over again, I'd probably buy the 8020x and save myself $25.


title: Awesome and prompt

text: I love this product for my soap making hobby. I am leery in an apartment to use lye to start from scratch so this is perfect.<br />They are shipped promptly and arrive in good condition.


title: Great combs

text: These are pretty much identical to the wahl combs. The combs work great for clipper/scissor over comb techniques and even though I’m not fond of the pink color comb it comes in handy and find myself using it a lot. I wish they would give a green fluorescent color comb instead of the pink but that’s my only complaint.

text: Exactly what was pictured. Both came together and packaged well. Only downside is the plastic they are made of smells like gasoline. The smell is wearing off now that they aren't in the packaging and have aired them out.

title: Convenient for field use

I am currently a contractor in Afghanistan, using shared bathroom facilities with about 50 other females.  We have to conserve water as much as possible, so traditional loofahs and body washes tend to be a bit wasteful.  This little pouch holds a full-sized bar of soap and, when moistened, creates a nice lather.  It exfoliates well and gets the dirt and grime of a dusty day in the desert off nicely.  This pouch hangs to dry and I replace mine when the bar of soap if done.

Great for travel, also.


title: Doesn't get warm enough.

text: I bought the product to do deep conditioning on my shoulder length hair. The temperature of the conditioning cap NEVER rose any warmer than tepid inside. I increased the temp to high for 15 minutes. The cap remained TEPID inside!!

When the package from Del Monte showed up at my door, I immediately jumped off the couch and was like, "Oh to the yes". When I took them out of the cans, the kraut was fresh as if it had been pickled and canned that very morning. Everyone thought it was amazing: my wife, my kids, my dog, and especially myself. I would definitely order this again and will tell all my friends to do the same in an email, beginning, right, now.

The only reason I gave it four stars and not five is because when I was struggling to open the package the cardboard gave me a pretty bad cut on my left thumb. Del Monte should look into cutting down on the excessive packaging of their canned vegetables - they are already in aluminum cans, you can just put them in a paper bag. That would be better for the earth, too.
