Customer Reviews of Braun 8000 Activator Combi-Pack Foil and Cutterblock Replacement Parts for Braun's Activator Razor Models 8595 and 8585
Customer Review: New foil heads are defective
Summary: 1 Stars
I believe Braun has changed the way they make the new replacement cutters and foil heads for the 8000 series razors. The older ones had grey plastic clips on the ends and the new ones have black. I have purchased three new sets in four months and all three have lost a clip off of the end. This causes the foils to vibrate. It is a very noticable change in the sound when turned on and the quality of shave is greatly reduced. I have used this razor for three years and never had this problem. I used the last replacement head two times before it broke.Customer Review: The Replacements!
Summary: 4 Stars
I think the replacement of the cutting blades is good, but a little pricey considering you already spent close to $200 on the shaver. Also you need to replace about every 4 months with normal use, I think they should last a little longer than that.
The foil is good as well but I have dropped my shaver a few times and it has punctionered every time. This is frustrating at this price...
However, this is the best facial shaver on the market right now so I guess I am locked in. The power of planned obselesence.......oh well!
Customer Review: Make it like new, again.
Summary: 5 Stars
Replacement blades don't really seem to help that much on other electric razors I have used. But, the Braun instructions say to replace the foil and cutter every 18 months. When I finally replaced mine (22 months) it was amazing how much better the razor worked. It was really like getting a new razor. It runs much smoother and slip along my aging skin like silk again. If you have one of these Braun razors and find it is not a smooth and comfortable as it once was, the Foil and Cutter refill may do the trick for you.Customer Review: foil and cutter. for 8595 model A poor substitute for the original one
Summary: 1 Stars
My order was placed with Amazon
I received my
Model 8595 foil and cutter block yesterday. The original ones that came with the razor had an imprint of Activator. Not so, this one !!!
If you have a tender skin, then best switch to another brand of razor. My intentions are just that. Two shaves and my face feels burned and the shaves were not close at all.
Up to now, I have enjoyed this razor.Six years of great shaves. It has been pricey but worth it. All finished for me now.
Customer Review: Buyer Beware.
Summary: 1 Stars
To be fair, I have not tried this replacement product, but I would recommend carefully checking out all the reviews here on Amazon. One or two negative reviews can be expected with any high volume product, but this replacement foil seems to be a poor substitute. Given the high volume demand for the original, Braun should have had no reason to discontinue the original. In fact, when I contacted them regarding their reasoning, they referred me to a vendor who supposedly still carried the original but in fact does not.
