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

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

This item completely refurbished my ES8092. I have owned it for over 5 years and had never replaced the blades or foil. I just kept it clean and rotated the blades around. Now it runs quietly and it is like having a brand new razor. I would buy again. Good product free shipping and about 40% less than on the Panasonic site.

I didn't notice it at first, but after 2 years my face was becoming tender from using the Panasonic razor.
After replacing the 3 items in this package, the razor is like new. Shaves are closer than ever and with less irratation.
I also have a top of the line Braun electric with an automatic bath cleaner that needs to be refilled almost every month. The Panasonic with new blades does a better job; especially if you lather up with a bit of shaving cream.
Note: Unless the shaver is damaged, you can get the same results after the first year of use,by just replacing the inner blade as Panasonic recommends, once a year. They recommend that the outer foil be replaced every two years.

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.

The replacement item for my razor restored it to "like new" condition. Shave is once again excellent. Next time, I will not wait so long.
