Like everyone else says, works better than the stock blade it comes with. I reluctantly ordered this blade because it says BG2000, and mine is a BG2020, but the box it comes in says it's compatible with models ranging from BG2020 to 2029, so aside from the weird naming scheme, this thing is great.

After seeing that this was the cheaper of the few, I was kinda skeptical about the quality. Well after installing the shaver foil and going to town, I believe that it is actually BETTER than the one that came with the unit. Awesome!

The original head just fell apart without any warning after about 6 months of weekly use. The new one pops in just as easily as the old one pops out and restores the shaver to like brand new. Aparently the head does not last long and it is important to keep a spare around. The shaver is probably the best and safetest shaver to use around certain sensitive body areas like arm pits.

I bought 4 of these based on previous reviews, since I travel frequently. My original foil was damaged in transit. The replacement is better than the original that came with the shaver!

The product is wonderful, so I'm not commenting on its quality per se. I have purchased these from Target Online as well as Amazon; it is the EXACT same product and works perfectly with my BG2020 groomer.

However, if you saw two hits for the BG2000 replacement foil head when you searched, click on the other one -- it is from Amazon itself, and that gets you two things:

1) SuperSaver Shipping (or Amazon Prime shipping if you have that service). That saves you at least $4.98 in shipping.

2) Amazon's new "Subscription" refills offer. It allows you to get a regular supply of these replacement heads in periods ranging from a few weeks to 6 months. PLUS it offers a 15% discount on EACH replacement foil head they deliver through the service. I signed up for it and it's an unbeatable deal. Shipping is still free on each as well, even if it is the only item shipped to you on refill dates.

Check it out -- it saved me some cash and the refill service is great for guys like me that forget to order them until the blades is so dull it's useless!

P.S. -- No, I do NOT work for amazon -- I just wish someone had pointed this out to me sooner, so I'm doing that favor (hopefully) for my fellow consumers.

The new shaver head is better and stronger than the original. It shaves closer and with less effort. It arrived in just a few days from stock. Thank you very much.

Within the first 2 weeks of owning the shaver, I had to replace the foil. This is because the head falls off if you're not careful and can damage the foil. When it works, it works good (much better and closer shave than clippers), just don't let the head fall off and damage the foil.

The replacement blade is a lot better than the original blade that came with the razor. I recommend getting a replacement blade if you are purchasing the bodygroom and try both of them. The new blade did not bind up in sensitive areas like the old blade.

This definitely "clicks" into the trimmer, as it should, but it falls out when met with the slightest resistance. When it does fall, if it hits your shower floor, you'll need to spend a few seconds reassembling it. Would not recommend.

Item does the job but is fragile...unexpectedly a hole will develope in foil with unpleasant results. Note: have replacements on hand.
