My razor is again performing like new. I am well satisified with these heads. They cut at least as well as the heads supplied with the razor.

One thing I have learned is that I can't go a year between replacing the heads. Fortunately Amazon now offers a program to send the item each time interval, up to 6 months, that you specify. I signed up for this to be sure that I will get new heads every 6 months for a price below the listed price and with shipping free.

This is the third set of replacement heads I purchased for my shaver and this set seems somewhat improved over the last set.

I am disapointed in this product . It seems to me that the old blades cut a lot cleaner and closer than the new ones.

My razor is a year old, so it was time to replace the heads. Installing the replacement heads was easy. They may not shave as close as a razor blade, but I don't have to worry about nicks and bleeding. As long as I take my time and stretch my skin as instructed, I get a good shave.

It would be helpful if there was a more accurate photograph of the parts that will actually be received. The image on the package displays three cutting heads for the Norelco razor, in the housing, leading the viewer to believe that the whole assembly is what is being purchased. What arrives is three individual cutting heads with the cutting blades inside. What I needed, and thought I was getting was the entire assembly pictured on the package. I still have an unusable razor with a broken housing.

This is the second time that I have replaced the razor heads in my Norelco. They seem to need replacing about once a year but my shave experience is like a new razor. Replacing the heads took me all of 5 minutes.

The replacement heads for the Norelco Spectra make it once again like new. It is still a pleasure to use the shaver with these new heads.

LOST IN THE MAIL??????? - Review written on March 27, 2008

Rating: 5 out of 5

Tried to purchase this item but it was lost in the mail. Amazon tried to send me another one but that one was on back order. Needless to say I canceled and received a credit for the order. Thanks to Amazon for a quick credit and response. Maybe it wasn't them but their supplier. Got this product from another source and works great. Although, it seems to perform as well as the 3yr. old blades that were in the shaver. They recommend replacement once a year? I think not. Still a great shaver anyway.

These blades are direct NORELCO brand replacement blades for the Spectra razor. They fit perfectly and restore the "brand new" shaving experience that you may be missing due to old, dull blades.

If your blades are more than a year old or you notice that your shave is not as close as it once was, getting a set of these new blades may make the difference. This is my second set and they really did the trick.

Check the Norelco Website if you are unsure if these fit your model but other than that there is nothing to worry about. Incidentally, there are less expensive places to buy them other than Amazon. The shipping kills their competitive pricing.

The razor blades work fine for a close shave. The problem here is that the blades are shipped from an independent seller who has charged me 10$ shipping costs on a product that costs just 33$! Why does an item that weighs just a few ounces warrant an inflated shipping cost like that? Shaver's Outlet, who supplies this item for Amazon customers, care to explain yourselves? I can go into any retail discount store and buy a new razor for that price. This will be the first and last time you receive an order for one your products from this very ticked off customer.

I've been a Norelco triple headed electric razor user for over 25 years. The razor which I use now is one which is about four years old and still going strong. Replacing the blades [heads] every 6 - 12 months is still cheaper than purchasing a new Norelco razor. I've not noticed any irritation after installing new heads, just a better shave with less effort. Keep your old razor and replace the heads! You can't go wrong! Amazon's price for these HQ 8 Spectra replacements was the lowest I could find on the Internet. Shipped very fast!
as good as anything - Review written on February 19, 2008

But I'm not sure it is that much better than anything else. They have been functional and well lasting blades - but I suspect you can get that with many other brands for less $$.

These replacement heads work great. Because of the age of my shaver, I had to use the original casings to allow the heads to work properly. My shavers is ten years old and with the new heads it shaves as good as new. Always save the head casings because of the change in design that seems to happen over the years

Every store in town was sold out of the HQ8 razor heads before Christmas. Like so many other things, found it on Amazon and delivery was made in time. Good razor, good service from Amazon merchants.

Like shaving with a brand new razor, I had forgotten what a close comfortable shave this razor was capable of performing. But wait, did I mention the great price I got at Amazon? Ten bucks cheaper than Walmart.

This product replaced the heads in my Norelco Spectra shaver. I found a great improvement in shaving by being able to shave closer and quicker. It was like getting a new shaver for much less cost. However it did require my old shaver to still have a good motor and battery.

Well, they did what they were supposed to. The shave was about as good as new. But, is it just me or is Norelco outsourcing stuff and it all and all, seems a little more cheaply made. Considering a new shaving system all in all. But, these heads were indeed good.

Purchasing the Norelco HQ8 Spectra Tripleheader Replacement heads for my 5+ year-old Norelco razor was a really good move. The "old "razor" now works like a new razor. I should have replaced the heads long ago but kept using the old ones and complaining that "I need to get a new razor."

I received this product about a month ago. I can't believe the difference in the shave I now get! The price I paid was much less than local suppliers. I wish I had done it months sooner.
As always, my total experience with Amazon.com has been great.

I have found these easy to change, it just takes a couple of minutes.
These replacement heads are just as effective as the originals and they last about the same amount of time in my case that is about 12 months.
I am now using my second set, since purchasing my shaver and would have no problem recommending these to someone else.
