These are bulk foils and cutters. Poorly repacked. Cutters were loose inside the foils and would rattle during shipment against the delicate foils, scratch and shorten their life. No way to know if these are, as advertised, Remington products or cheap copies. I expected to find them in Remington, safe, bubble packs. They were inserted into cardboard packages with the Remington number penciled outside on the box. I will never order from that shaver supply company again.

The product is fine and works well with my Remington shaver. I just wanted to let folks know that this really isn't a "2 pack." You get one of the pictured item (cutters and foils). I'm not sure where the "2 pack" description comes from ... it certainly doesn't mean you get two of these.

Although there was no brand name insignia on the shaver packaging, the screen and blades work just fine. Also the packaging of the product was neatly done and adequate. The blades work just as well as all other times I have purchased them.

I was a bit nervous ordering the replacement foils/blades after reading some of the previous comments, but went ahead with the purchase because the foil heads had worn through on my shaver and I needed to do something. The product that was shipped exactly matched the picture and description shown, in other words, it arrived in the OEM Remington packaging (not in a plain brown box) as depicted. Took me about 5 minutes to pop out the old foils/blades and reinstall the new ones. I have ordered replacement blades/foils in the past and gotten "bulk" items in a plain brown box, but not this time. I am VERY PLEASED with this purchase.

Instructions are a little hard to read (screens need to be inserted from top of removable screen holder frame toward inside-bottom of frame). Other than that, works well. You can probably extend the life of the screen by using less pressure during your shave.

After I purchased this item, I read the negative reviews with great concern. They said the blades are bulk, no name replacements that wear out after a couple shaves. Also they said they are shipped not in the manufacturer plastic as depicted in the product picture. NOT TRUE. The blades ARE in the exact packaging as pictured and are the true mfr replacement blades. My shaver is like new again and the install was a snap. Thank you Amazon. After shopping all over town like a dummy, I finally signed up for the Amazon 6 month replacement program and I couldn't be happier. IGNORE the negative reviews. I don't know if, in the past, Amazon was shipping bulk knock-offs, but they aren't as of this writing.

But the shaver is currently selling for even cheaper than the replacement cutter set! And Amazon sells it less than anyone else I could find it for.

I was going to buy a new razor when all I needed was a new screen and cutters. Now that I've figured out how to change them I can continue to use the old razor that I like and save the cost of a new one.

The replacement instructions and images are difficult to figure out and see; at least they were for me. The trick is the screen comes out through the top or the side that goes against your face. Use a small flat blade screwdriver or similar item to push the side of the screen toward the center from the under side. This will get the screen clear of the housing. Once you do that they come right out from the top.

Not sure why, but this specific razor gives me a faster and notably closer shave than any other electric razor I have tried. This replacement head replaces the original. Wish they lasted a bit longer (approx 6-8 mos), but given that there is metal to metal contact that gives you that close shave, its life will be finite. The better shave is worth it.

I assumed that this product was an actual Remington item. I feel sure now that it is not. I have shaved with Remington foil razors for years. I have a fine-textured beard and usually get about 2 years out of a foil. This product gave me about 3 months before disintegrating. Also the cutters seem to be of questionable quality. I recommend staying away from this product; it would actually be cheaper to buy a new razor than to buy these inferior quality, short-life foils and cutters.
