    These cutters are the genuine article

    Hello, all. After having tried to save money a few times by purchasing low-cost alternatives on Amazon, I can tell you these heads are the genuine article and give a very close shave. The knock-offs lack the thin bronze blade that the genuine article has, and give a comparatively poor shave. If you want a shave as good as you had with your shaver when it was new, buy these. Not worth the time and money lost on the counterfeits.

    I needed to replace the Shaver Heads in my Norelco Series 5000 Shaver. I was worried that it would be to hard. But I bought the package at Best Buy and it was very easy to replace the heads. My shaver works now as good as the day I purchased it one year ago.

    Phillips Norelco makes the best men's razor products. This replacment head is no exception! This shaving head is meant for the SH50 model but also replaces the older HQ8 razor head.

    What can I say about the new blades, except they make my razor shave like new again! Easy to take out old ones and install new ones. It's a no brainer. I've used Norelco Shavers since I started shaving about 50 years ago (OMG that's a long time!!!) and they just keep getting better over the years. Good Stuff! Depending on your beard (coarse or fine hair) and how often you shave will depend on how often you need to replace them. Rinsing them after every shave, which takes about 10 seconds max, will keep them performing well, but if they start taking to long to get all the hairs, it's time to change them out. I do it every year or two depending on if I have a full beard (less shaving) or no beard. Good quality and good products.

    I had not replaced the blades in my Norelco shaver for about 4 years, so I knew it was time. I asked an employee for location of blades, he took me over to the spot, pointed out some options and answered a question about replacing the blades. The whole process was quick and easy. Now I can cut the whiskers off instead of grinding them off.

    SH50 blades replace HQ8

    I needed to replace the razor blades for my Norelco 8894XL razor. In the past it was easy to find the HQ8 replacements but it appears they have quit making them. However, after some research, I found that the SH50 replacement is virtually identical to the HQ 8s. It is easy to replace on the razor and I now get a better shave than earlier this year.

    I purchased some blades on Ebay trying to save money. Big Mistake! After using them my face still had stubbles and felt like sandpaper. I received these blades from BestBuy a few minutes ago and immediately tried them out. What a huge difference. The blades have my face nice and smooth now! I also had a $10 credit to apply so I'm happy! Don't try to cheap out it doesn't save you any money in the end!

    I have an older Norelco shaver that originally took the HQ8 heads, which have been discontinued . These SH50 are the current replacement. They fit in the shaver perfectly and give a nice smooth shave

    This are the actual blades that come on the razor when it’s new so they’ll definitely make your razor cut like it did when you first got it. In my opinion they’re a little bit pricey though so I took off a star.

    Have used this brand razor for over 60 years. Replacing blades of voice work great for them. I didn’t like the razor. I won’t be buying the replacement blades.

    Best Buy makes it easy for me to replace my electric shaver blades. I simply click on previous orders and reorder. These blades are extremely reliable for a comfortable shave. They are well priced and are always available for pick up, usually on the same day. Very convenient!

    Genuine parts generate replacement parts great for the fact that they support older shavers, and still make the products they make them obsolete

    Norelco Rotary Shaver Replacement Heads

    Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Bought these SH50 Norelco Replacement Heads for my older Norelco rotary shaver. It is recommended that they be replaced every 12 months. I only noticed my shaver was not giving me a smooth/close shave and decided it was about time to replace the heads after 8 years or so. These replacement heads fit perfectly and are doing O.K.. The shave is getting better after a few weeks of shaving. I suspect the heads have a "break-in" . The face of the heads has a different design then my original heads. There are two areas on each head with holes vs slits. I believe the older head design may be better overall then the new design, but I could not find the older design. We shall see how they perform after 30 or 40 shaves. I really like the Norelco Rotary Shaves, this is the second shaver I've had in many years. I believe this shaver gives the smoothest/closest shave for an electric shaver.

    I have an old Philips Norelco Series 5000 shaver and this is at least my second replacement set of heads. With the new heads, it is still working fine for a great shave. I was surprised what a great price I got!
