Rating: 4 out of 5

The comb and shaving blades do the job they were manufactured to do. They give me a close shave without irritation. I have had this shaver for a few years and this is third time I've replaced these items. This is the best electric shaver I have owned. It's more expensive than many others but, as the saying goes, "you get what you pay for".

Just got this replacement kit for my ES8152NC. Though this kit is not listed as a replacement for that particular razor, the parts fit perfectly and are seemingly identical. Unfortunately for me, Amazon lowered their already competitive price $6 a week after I bought this kit.. so I bought another one.. Ha..

It really is great to restore the shaver to new condition. I had been using another razor to supplement this one as it dulled. Now, I really won't need to do that... and I have another kit waiting for next year... All is well on the shaving front now.
Just Buy a Cheap Panasonic Wet n' Dry - Review written on December 12, 2007

Rating: 3 out of 5

My husband loves Panasonic Wet n' Dry razors, so when the blades we purchased a year ago started to get dull, he bought these replacement blades and a $29 Panasonic. Long story short - the cheaper razor did just as well as these blades and cost less. We'll just throw it away in a year and buy another.

This replacement cutter set makes your shaver like new again for a third the price of a new one. Helps you remember what you liked about your shaver. Manufacturer recommended duration is two years but I change mine every year for the new shaver feel.

This is my second combo replacement, the first having suffered my toddler's wrath (amusement?). It's original equipment. One note, however, my shaver (model ES8152) is older than the ones listed for ordering. I kept my original shaver docs and found the right number. Shaver works just like new, and it has some deluxe features you get now for big $$$.

This may sound like an Ebay buyer's comment, but the shipping was great, 3 business days, with serious overkill on packing.

My shaver works like it was brand new again. The blade and foil are a little spendy though, because your lucky if you can a full year's use out of them.

Most sites do not indicate that the WES9006PC can be a replacement for the model ES8152, but the two components fit just fine. If you look at the two parts -- the blades and the foil, individually, the replacements are listed for that model but this kit isn't, so it's a way of saving money.

As others have noted, this part is not compatable with many of the Razors Amazon claims it is.

If you own the ES8168S, ES8168, ES8167, ES8164, ES8163, ES8162, ES8807, or ES8161, the correct part number you need is the WES9065PC
Caution: it won't work with the Pro Curve razor. - Review written on July 20, 2007

Although this replacement is co-advertized with the ES8162S Pro-Curve razor, it's not compatible with it. I wish Amazon would carry the correct one because it costs $ 70 from Panasonic.

By the way this product is the replacement blade for the 8152 model as well, even though the description fails to include it. This is the best investment you'll make to prolong the life of your shaver. With a new foil and blades, the machine feels like new again. It's quieter, less vibrations, shorter shaving time, and prolongs the charge. Should have bought this months ago when my shaving time seemed to double. Beats buying disposable blades, especially since the fancier ones would cost you around a $100/year. Spend the $40 bucks and your face will thank you.

I had forgotten how quick and close a shave my Panasonic shaver had originally given me. Putting these replacements on was like getting a brand new shaver. And it's even quieter now too.

2nd Replacement--still great - Review written on May 25, 2007

Rating: 5 out of 5

This is my second replacement order for the blades and foil. Each time, I struggle paying the $$, but then realize that I don't have to buy replacement blades for a standard razor and 1+ years of use is a pretty good deal. BTW, each time I've replaced the blades it was due to dropping the shaver! It only takes one use after replacing to realize why you should regularly change the blades--you fall in love with the shaver all over again. If you look at it another way, this is a cheap way to avoid buying a brand new shaver!

I purchased this item because Amazon suggested it when I purchased the Panasonic ES8043SC Pro-Curve Pivot Action Linear Wet/Dry Shaver, Silver. It's the wrong item. I even called Panasonic twice because I didn't want to believe that I had been urged to buy a non fitting item. In Amazons defense, a refund was promptly issued. I have bee buying from Amazon for years without the smallest complaint.

The blade and foil combination is the least expensive way to go to replace both of these parts.
They fit, look and feel EXACTLY like the original.

Replacing the inner blade and outer foil on my Panasonic shaver made ALL the difference. I didn't realize why, but finally noticed that the shaver wasn't working well. After replacing the blade and foil, it takes a fraction of the time and produces a much smoother shave.

Changing out the outer foil and blades was a breeze. Though my morning shave wasn't bad, with the new blades in place, it is great. I rarely use a shave gel or cream, and I still get a fast and smooth shave. I had forgotten how good it can be. Just like having a new shaver again.

brought my Panasonic shaver back to new, BUT I have had problems with geting "pimples" if I do not clean it enough, and then still sometimes anyway. After reading about the new shavers that come with a cleaning/drying stand I decided to soak it in 90% isopropanol after each use and then dry it off with a hair dryer (~1 min blades/foil head), solved the problem, no more pimples on my face.

It is a great disappointment with Amazon when it pushed to sell a product, WES9006PC replacement inner blade and outer foil combination for pro curve linear shavers without indicating that they are not compatible with the Panasonic ES8162S Pro Curve Elite Convex Wet/Dry shaver I purchased. Amazon displaced those two products next to each other as though if I made a purchase those products together I would save money. Now I was forced to buy one more shaver that would be compatible with WES9006PC replacement.

I went too long without replacing the blades and foil on my shaver. Shaving was getting to be a real chore. But replacing these was like getting a whole new shaver! It sounded and felt different, and I could feel I was getting a much closer shave. The only reason for 4 stars rather than 5 is that after a month or so of use, I have noticed the blades have already dulled a bit. I may start replacing mine every 6 months or so. But even then, compared to what people pay for those refills for their fancy Mach 7 Nitro Nuclear Fission razors, I think we're getting a good deal.

Take a look at the photo of the cutter. Panasonic changed the design so it's not made up from a series of individual cutting disks. Now it's just a piece of steel stamped with slots. I find the shave isn't nearly as good as with the original design.

You really need to replace the foil and blade for these Panasonic rasors about once a year or so. They degrade slowly so you almost don't realize how dull it can be. With the replacement its like new again.
Best shaver ever! - Review written on August 21, 2006

Rating: 5 out of 5

I've been using my Panasonic electric shaver for nearly 3 years now. After about 2 years, the blades need to be replaced. And trust me, it's worth it. With sharp blades, it is a very smooth, comfortable shave...and much faster than using a blade. The Panasonic shaver is by far the best I've ever had. It blows Norelco and Remington out of the water! If it should ever break or get lost for some reason, I'd buy another one in a heartbeat!

I waited too long to replace the foil head and cutters. My Panasonic shaver now runs much smoother, quieter, and the shave is close and smooth. Just like when it was new. Oh, and best price was with Amazon.

Panasonic ES8095 and WES9006PC Replacement Cutter Blades and Foil - Review written on December 30, 2005
* * * * *
Rating: 5 out of 5

I have used blades, Norelco electric, Remington electric, Braun electric, and Panasonic WET/DRY shaver ES8095 in that order. I find the ES8095 superior to all. Quality of shave is excellent. Cleaning/maintenance is simple and quick. WES9006PC replacement cutter blades and foil every year or two years provides new quality shaving with insignificant degradation of shave quality in the interim. Replacement cost equates to ten cents or 5 cents per shave respectively based on one or two year replacement with unit cost of $35.50.
