Replacement Shaving Heads for Philips Norelco Series 9000 Electric Shavers - Silver

New cutters do a better job than my 14 month old ones did. A few negatives though: 1. They don’t cut quite as close as the original blades; 2. They are a lot louder than the original ones. A whiny high pitched noise that is bothersome; 3. There’s no way to verify that these are the latest. Philips Model # for the blades is 90 but that is followed by a slash and a second two digit number. The 90/50 were good (that’s what my original ones were). They got replaced by the 90/62 which got terrible reviews. Can’t comment on those as I never used them. Those were later replaced by the 90/72 which have been getting much better reviews. I wanted to be certain that I was getting the 90/72. It the box and package do not indicate which one they are. That annoys me as maybe I was sent the 90/62 even though the Best Buy site said 90/72. Bottom line is that after a year the cutters have to be replaced and it is an improvement.

I received a Norelco 1290X shaver several years ago and it still works like new. However, it has been very difficult to find replacement blades that weren't counterfeit and for some reason Norelco discontinued the blades used in the original head forcing customers to switch out to a different head style. The first version had cheap orange plastic retainers which often fell out when shaving or cleaning the head. This new style has stronger retainers which offer improved performance. Until they offer the original style of replacement blades again (not likely), these appear to be a reasonable replacement option. I've also found that Best Buy does a better job of shipping OEM parts than other major on-line retailers where counterfeits are rampant.

nice sharp blades - OEM quality. The new design has plastic shielding on the blades, this makes cleaning a bit more of a hassle and it requires more frequently cleaning. However, blades work well.

Well the price is a bit high so I thought I'd go back to blades for a while until a sale. The wait was worth it. For me these shave closer than blades especially when wet shaving. They are very sharp, just wish they lasted longer than a year.

Excellent replacement blades for the 9000 series razor. However, they will not work with the SP9860/9886 series razors.

I have had RQ1260 since 2011. My electric shaver works find even after 10 years. I am so impressed for the durability. However, the head of the shaver is always problematic for me. Philips stopped produce the header. I finally find the right one for my RQ1260. It works perfectly. I am so happy.

Very well made product . Very smooth cut. Wish it was a little cheaper.

Works well. Just snapped into place and started using. Lots of reports of fake ones through third party sellers on other websites. Pity it went on sale after I bought but glad it’s the real thing.
