Customer Reviews of Braun 8000 Activator Combi-Pack Foil and Cutterblock Replacement Parts for Braun's Activator Razor Models 8595 and 8585
Customer Review: Premature Wear
Summary: 1 Stars
Am I the only one having this problem? These foils aren't lasting me more than a few months. And, no, I don't push the razor hard against my face, I use it at a 90 degree angle, and I don't have an abnormally thick beard. I've used Braun razors my whole life and for some reason my 8595 goes through foils like nothing else. I've even had the entire cutter unit (motor) replaced under warrenty just in case that was the problem. Personally I think the problem is in the design of the foil as the thinner mesh just isn't as strong as the previous design. Is anyone else having this same experience? Is the newer 360 model any better?Customer Review: Don't get this!

I've had a Braun 8585 for years...got this to replace the cutter and foil. I found the shave quality decreased and the blades started pulling whiskers. Also I was nicked more often.
I finally replaced the cutter and foil on my 8585 with this: Braun Series 3 Combi 30B Foil and Cutter Replacement Pack (Formerly 4700,7000). It fits perfectly and gives me an excellent shave. No more pulling, no nicks, and a closer shave. Definitely the way to renew an 8000-series razor.
Avoid this foil and cutterblock!
Customer Review: Hate the new redesign
Summary: 1 Stars
The cutting block is no longer a thick piece of metal. It is another foil against the outer foil. When I opened the package 10 months ago and noticed this, I was already concerned. I've had 10 months now to review it, and the change is not for the better. The cutter is already worn, and it gets "caught" sometimes, and sounds like it's about to give me razor burn. It's also hard for me to get a close shave compared to the original. I'm looking to change my daily shaver because of this bait and switch! This one will be relegated to travel duty. Shame on Braun. I'll be looking for a different company's shaver.Customer Review: Bad Product - Good Customer Service
Summary: 2 Stars
My foil lasted approximatly 6 weeks before developing a hole. Thereafter, I cut my face whenever I tried to use the razor. After a few attempts, I understood the price of a new foil was less than the expected doctor's bills if I kept slicing my face. I called Braun Customer Service and reported the problem. They were friendly and offered to send a new cutter block. Within 1 week they had done as promised and even followed up with a letter. Great service, but I hope the new one lasts a bit longer as I very much like the razor. By the way, if you have this problem the number for Customer Service is: (800)272-8611Customer Review: Replacing with the combi-pack gives you a new razor!
Summary: 5 Stars
So, I've had this wonderful razor for about a year and a half it it was time to switch out the foil and cutterblock. When I first switched out to the replacement parts, I could immediately tell the difference, both good and bad. I could tell that the cutter block was really sharp and cut through my thick beard. The bad part was the fact that the foil kept grabbing my longer hairs and pulling them. Tip for everyone! If you have this same problem, try turning the foil around. The part fits both frontways and backways. Ever since doing this, no problems!
