Product Description

Amazon.com Review

A replacement foil and cutter block, the two pieces fit Braun Syncro shaver models 7505, 7526, 7546, and 7570. These shavers need a new foil and cutter block every 12 to 18 months, depending on toughness of beard and frequency of use. Braun Syncro shavers are noted for their four-way moving head that captures and cuts more hair in fewer strokes. The pivoting head oscillates from side to side, and large foil holes capture more hairs. --Fred Brack

4.0 out of 5 stars best system, but change regularly, July 27, 2004

By	James Barnett "JB" (NY, USA) - See all my reviews

Never let it be said that electric shaving saves you money.

But, as one that can't really be bothered wet shaving, plus when I do I cut myself to shreds, I have to say this is the best system I've owned and it's worth swapping the foil way more often than the 18 months mentioned in the manual; I tend to only go 3-6 months before swapping and I can really notice the difference.

The other way I generally extend the life of these foils is, if like me you don't shave over the weekend, when Monday morning comes, use the clippers on the shaver to cut your growth down to a stubble and then shave; I find this gives a better cut and a cleaner shave after that.

So - a good product but could be tougher (it should last longer than 6 months) and could be less expensive.

Happy shopping

5.0 out of 5 stars Save some money and make your foil & CB last longer, September 12, 2005

By	ajshadow "AJS from San Jose" (San Jose, CA United States) - See all my reviews

I purchased my Braun 7526 Syncro Shaver over a year ago and I have yet to replace the foil or cutter block.

My beard is not thick; however the individual hairs on my face are thick, so I need a good shaver to do a good job. Even though I have been shaving with the same foil and cutter block for a little over a year without any problems, there are a few tricks to make your foil and cutter block last longer. They are as follows:

1. Do not press down hard when shaving (it actually cuts better when you let up on the shaver).
2. Use a pre-shave lotion.
3. Do not use the "Clean and Charge" system after every shave. The alcohol in the refills tends to shorten the life of your foil.
4. Use the Clean and Charge system ONLY when it needs to be recharged. Other times clean your shaver by using the brushes it came with.
5. Reseal the clean and charge refill with the lid it came from after every time you use it. It will last you FAR LONGER. The alcohol dissipates when left open. This will save you a lot of money too!
6. If you must use a lubricant on your shaver, spray the foil and cutter foil with an aerosol spray cleaner like Remington Shaver Saver or some other lubricant.

If you follow some very simple techniques (as mentioned above), you can save a lot of money on refills, foils and cutter blocks.

Good luck!

November 2008 UPDATE:
I am STILL using the original foil and cutter block. I kid you NOT. I purchase 2 extra sets but I have yet to use them.

1.0 out of 5 stars Somebody changed something -- this does not fit my 7505, June 12, 2007

By	W. D. Richardson (Minnesota) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I don't know who to blame: Amazon or Braun. The foil piece does not fit my Braun 7505 electric shaver. Earlier models of the replacement package must have fit the 7505 based on the earlier happy customers, but not now.

Addendum:
I called Braun customer service (1-800-272-8611). They were very helpful and offered to send me a replacement combo. I was afraid I'd get the same exact combo, but today it arrived via FedEx and both parts snapped in perfectly. Hopefully Amazon will read these reviews and switch to the correct part number (which, by the way, is Braun P/N 5491356).
