Has made a 4 year old Braun 8585 Electric Razor perform as if I had just taken it out of the box- at 1/6th the price of a new one-

Great price and fast delivery. This is the second of these replacements I have purchased, and I'm back to being clean shaven again. It seems to be about an every 18 month or so ritual, but so pleasing once replaced.

Excellent product...turned a very dull razor into one that's like new. Great service from Amazon, too!!

It lasted almost 24 months on my shaver. Maybe those who say this foil is fragile are a bit rough on their shavers? This is a precision instrument and it has to be handled appropriately.
I am very satisfied with mine and believe this is the best shaving system in the world.

This product restores the shaver to like-new quality. It does what it is supposed to do. My husband has had this shaver for several years now, replaces the foil and cutterblock about once a year, and it keeps working just fine. The downside is that one of the reasons he replaces it once a year is that the foil has a tendency to break after about that amount of time. Thin foil = close shave, so it's a wash as to whether this is a positive or negative situation.

I ordered Braun 8000 series Shaver and Cutter Block and I recieved 3 (two too many Braun) and two Remington Cutter Blocks, i.e. 4 too many

I need to return the excess received. They are in their original sealed package

Also, my Clean&Renew(tm)8000 Series has gone bad and needs to be replaced. Can we work an exchange?

Can you take care of this?

This is my third replacement cutter/foil combo since I started using the Braun Shaver in Jan. of 2006. I replaced the first set on schedule after 18 months of use but the second set only lasted 12 months when the foil wore through and began nicking my neck. I really can't blame the quality of the product as I shave every day and have a thick growth. A year of service is very good when you consider the amount of work it does.

I was very disappointed that the foil part of the shaver got a hole in it less than two weeks after he replaced it. The last foil he put on lasted around a year.

As advertised, the new cutterblock and foil restored my two-year-old 8595 razor back to like-new shaving prowess.

This is a change I should have made 6 months ago, when I began to notice that shaves were not as close or comfortable as they used to be. My beard is of light to medium thickness, and I use the 8595 every day for shaving, and I would definitely recommend changing every 12-18 months as recommended by Braun.

These are just the same as what came with your razor. You shouldn't have any issues whatsoever. Much cheaper to buy this once every 12-18 months than to keep buying POS-on-a-stick & cutting yourself. Either way shaves just as well...that is to say, not quite as good as high quality shaving equipment which most ppl don't even know exists :)

It is always a pleasure to do business with Amazon.
Thank You.

This was my first replacement for this razor that I was so impressed with when I first tried it almost 2 years ago. It was probably long overdue, but I finally ordered this replacement blades. It was like I just pulled it out of the box new again. Next time I won't wait so long to keep this thing tuned up. FYI - I don't buy the cleaning solution for this. I bought a gallon of denatured alcohol for my local hardware store. When I need new solution, I clean out of reservoir real good and refill with the denatured alcohol. I then add a few drops of my favorite cologne. I change up the fragrance with every refill. Much cheaper and I get a nice variety of scents. Give it a try!

This replacement cutter head and foil pack installs with absolutely no fuss in only a few seconds and the result is you'll be shaving like your razor was brand new.

I was able to get a good year out of my razor on the first set of foil/cutter head, and this is now my third replacement. I have a rather stiff, heavy beard and often shave twice a day, depending on whether or not I have something going on in the evening.

This last fall I shaved my head bald and have used the Braun Actovator to keep my head shaved daily. This has caused quicker wear on the cutter head and foil and the last foil actually developed a small tear between a couple of the holes in about the 7th or 8th month of use. Once that happened it was impossible to use the razor without getting scratched and looking like I had been in a fight with a small housecat.

Still, once the foil and cutter were replaced again, this is the closest shave I have ever had using a power shaver or razor. Only thing that comes closer is a real blade... and I've used several other reciprocating type razors and rotary shavers, too. I'm very pleased with this product and dread the day that Braun discontinues this replacement set... if they ever do.

As mentioned, this replacement blade does not appear to have a lot of substance to it, but it does make a big difference after 24 months, and I probably should have got it after 18 months, as suggested.

I would buy it again.

After almost 2 years of not changing the blades (I know, especially since I need to shave everyday), I can't believe how great the shaver is after replacing the blades.

I had to replace the original foil and cutterblock on the Braun shaver I purchased 2 years ago. The shaver is now back up to performing as it did when it was new. So far, nothing but praise for the Braun products I have purchased.

For an electric razor, this Braun product is pretty good. It cuts consistently, and can mow down longer whiskers with ease. Always replace the blade when the razor tells you to, because it does get dull. The new replacement blades always feel great compared to the old blade.

After using my original Foil and Cutterblock since February 2005 until the foil worn to the point of a gap appearing, I finally ordered the replacement Combi-Pack. I have to admit that I was being too cheap and now my razor feels like new again.

The Braun Shaver with this foil and cutter gives a close and comfortable shave. The one shortcoming is that the shaver signals for a replacement foil and cutter well before the 18 month lifespan of the cutter. Since my Braun continues to function well, I am leaving the current foil and cutter on the shaver until I have reason to replace them.

This being in effect a "spare part" replacement, there are no surprises. The only gripe is about the price, which is exorbitant (cutter & foil over 10% of the whole assembly?).

My wife bought me the razor two years ago. I change the head about every 9-12 months. It's the closest I can get to a regular razor (which usually cause me severe razor burn and pseudofolliculitis).

The new heads make a big difference with the shaver. Amazon had the best prices on the replacement heads.

I recieved the item I ordered in just a couple of days. I got the exact item I ordered, and I am well pleased with the product and the vendor.

There's not really much to say about this product. It's the best electric razor I've ever owned and so the replacement parts can be no worse. The best part about purchasing it here was that the price was $10 below any local stores and the shipping was fast.

This is the replacement head for the Braun 8000 series. It is the real thing and costs less at Amazon than anywhere else I could find. Free shipping, too.

My Braun electric shaver uses this cutter and foil. Its instructions suggest that they should be changed every 18 months. If you want to keep getting a reasonably quick, close shave, I'd recommend doing it once a year. I'm getting a MUCH better, MUCH faster shave with the new cutter and foil.

I think I was slighly shy of the 18-month replacement cycle that Braun recommended, but my shaves were taking longer and by the time I was done, the shaver was uncomfortably warm to my skin. I suppose the dull blades were creating too much friction on the foil. Replaced the cutter and foil and I'm back to new. I think I will replace this annually from here on out. For $30 or so per year, it is well worth it.

I shave once in 2 days on average and I have a medium amount of surface area to cover. I emptied and cleaned the razor on a regular basis. I replaced the blade after 18 months exactly and it made a little bit of a difference...cuts a bit faster and quicker. I could've easily used the razor for 6 months more without replacement, but it does cut a tad bit better now.

The item was received in new condition, as advertised, and well within stated timeframes. I recommend this seller.

Yes it is worth to change that cutterblock, maybe not a quickly as the shaver tells you but once you feel its just not the same as it was when new.

This set fits my Braun electric razor. I am a loyal Braun brand products. This is my third one and each one made impressive improvements over the previous one.

I had delayed getting a replacement for my cutter and foil for nearly a year after the recommended every twelve months. I had forgotten how much better the razor cut with the new edges. Definitely should have gotten them sooner. They are certainly worth the cost.

the shaver is a great shaver but the blades dull very fast. the replacement parts make it work like new.

Obviously it is always good to get original manuafacturers parts. But having had the shaver for two years, I had always been scared away by the $30 price tag I was seeing in stores for this item. Since Amazon was considerably less, I splurged. I was amazed how easy it was to swap out the parts. I changed the head and foil in literally less than 10 seconds. I have always been impressed with the Braun system, and I am now equally impressed with the replacement package.

The factory replacement parts make this razor like new again. Pleased with what I got for the money spent.
