If you have this shaver and you need a replacement blade, and if you don't feel like going out and getting a whole new shaver, you're stuck. I'm guessing that most people are buying this more for the foil than the blade. One problem with shavers with this kind of screen foil is that once in a while, the moving blade underneath cuts a hole in the foil. Unfortunately, this is a "sudden failure" event rather than a "slow wear and tear" event. This means that every day there's the same probability that you will end up back on Amazon ordering yet another replacement pack. It could be six to twelve months from now. It could be tomorrow.

The replacement pack is what it is. If it's too annoying, switch to a whole other type of shaving system (electric or otherwise).

My discouragement is simple. I ordered a product, and received a different model. The refund was simple enough, except after all this time, it hasn't happened. So it is about the service time at Goodmans that I am having trouble with. Trying to get ahold of them is no easier per their website. More attention to that portion of the site should be made more user friendly. As far as the product itself, yes it does what it says, and that is why I keep buying replacement cutters when needed.

Have owned shaver for years and like design. Tried to buy replacement shaver but can't find. The replacement pack came with the foil unattached to its housing at one corner. I was going to return it but decided to try to repair it myself-which I did. All-in-all, while the product works OK, it is overpriced for what you get.

I have been buying thses foils, for the last five years. They are well worth the money.

I've used a 3612 every day for the past 8 or 9 years. I'm using the original foil and cutter and it works just fine. The trick is simple - brush out the cutter and head EVERY time you use the shaver. The super-sharp edge comes off the cutter within a couple of weeks of use, after that the sharpness basically plateaus. If you keep it clean it won't jam up. Its the uneven pressure that causes the cutter to try to shave through the foil. I only had a foil cut through once and that was because I didn't snap the head on fully and tried to run the shaver - foil went in about 30 seconds.

Now I DO need a new cleaning brush, as I've worn mine down!

The product arrived in a timely manner but broke the second day after it was installed on the shaver. The pop up cutter won't retract and I actually have to keep it taped down when I don't use it. Darned inconvenient if you ask me.

I received the item I wanted in no time, in perfect condition and at a good price. What more could could you ask for.
