5.0 out of 5 stars You will be glad you got these blades, December 29, 2006

By	D. Dell "Dell" (USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

Replacement blades are a must. The razor will remind you about once a year which is fine in most cases. But, if you have a heavy beard or shave more than once a day, as I do, then you should replace the blades every 8 months or so. The reminder on the razor is only a suggestion, not a command. After all, it does not know when the blades get dull. So, I simply ignore the reminder and replace the blades when I feel it is necessary.

One thing you must do is use the new blades for several days until they settle in and adjust to your skin. Until then you may have a little irritation. Another problem I have solved is the hair on my neck. I use to think the harder I press the razor, the better it would get those stray hairs. But, all I got was a rash. I discovered that if I simply use a very light touch and not press hard then it got those hairs much better and with no redness.

Replace your blades at least once a year and your face with thank you.

5.0 out of 5 stars The guy who said they are not durable is incorrect, January 30, 2006

By	Robert Silvers (Marshfield, MA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Amazon Verified Purchase

He determined they are not durable because the 'replace heads' light came on soon after he installed them. That is just because he replaced the heads early before the light came on. The light is just a timer and comes on every so many minutes of use. His new heads were fine, but he did not understand what makes the 'replace heads' light come on.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Replacement Heads, September 13, 2007

By	Andrew Cargill "Andrew" (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Well, they did what they were supposed to. The shave was about as good as new. But, is it just me or is Norelco outsourcing stuff and it all and all, seems a little more cheaply made. Considering a new shaving system all in all. But, these heads were indeed good.
