I own the Arcitec shaver which I have been using for several years. I bought these as a replacement of the previous blades. It takes a bit of getting used to because it is a different setup.
One big difference is how to clean the blades. With the previous setup, the blades opened up on the head but stayed connected. Here, the blades come off. It requires a bit more time to clean, but I like it better because it cleans more thoroughly that way.
Regarding its performance, the shave is closer than the previous version of blades I used. It is the closest shave I have ever had with any blades. I am very impressed.
One issue I have is that the edges of the blade heads are thicker, so for difficult areas to reach, I have to really work to get there. It was much easier to reach those areas with the previous heads.
The hardest part of this was paying for it. It is quite pricey. I believe I only need to replace the blades next time, not the entire head. I hope so, because I don't want to have to pay this much again.
