Customer Reviews of Panasonic WES9070P Men's Shaver Replacement Inner Blade (2 Blades)
Customer Review: A Tremendous dissapointment from Panasonic
Summary: 1 Stars
I have owned a ES8068 for about 8 years. At the time I bought it consumer reviews regarded it as the best. I could cearly see why after I bought it, as I also had a new Remmington, and even tried a Grundig. No comparison. I have used the original blades and foil head since I have owned it. I get a good shave but it takes progressively longer. Occasionally I even get pulled hairs... which never happened in the past. Replacement blades were $70 in the past, so I kept putting off changing them. Recently I decided it was time and ordered the blade foil head combination pack. Immediately I noticed a major difference in the construction of the blades. Panasonic, or whoever designed the baldes, took a continuous rectangular piece of metal, slotted it, and wrapped it around and attached it to the plastic base which connects to the blade mount. The original blades consisisted of a series of 28 individual blades made out of thick steel, mounted individually in the plastic base. The orginal blades where much higher quality, and had significantly more solid and substantial construction. The new blades do not even come close. I was ready to send them back when I first saw them!
But I had to try them to see how they performed.
The replacement blades sound different than the old ones. Higher pitched, and more hollow, less substantial. The shave they delivered was also less substantial... It was almost as if I did not even change the blades. It took a long time to shave, and I had the pulling again, which I experinced with the 8 year old blades. I did get shaved, and after a while, it was not bad, but it took as long as the old blades did.
This appears to be another example of cutting corners and keeping costs down....
Too bad for Panasonic, and the have seriously compromised quality here.
I put the oringinal blades back in, and have returned to using them.
Panasonic states on the foil head / blade pack, that "The blade's shape has been modified since March 2004."
They should have said " We threw out the original, excellent, solid design and construction of the original blades in March 2004, and have replaced them with this very cheap, flimsy, shabby substitute, which will not shave you nearly as well as the originals."
NOT recommended... but there appears to be no choice.
Customer Review: Wrong replacements for my Panasonic razon
Summary: 1 Stars
I had purchase this as part of Amazon's recommendation when I purchased my Panasonic razor. Little did I know that it was the wrong part until I have to replace my blades (1 1/2 years later.) I wish Amazon would do cross-checks before placing products together!Customer Review: Blades Are Great, Reasonable and Arrived in the Nick of Time!
Summary: 5 Stars
The blades purchased arrived in great shape, in a speedy fashion and are a good value. My significant other likes them too as they provide a close shave. What more could you ask for.Customer Review: For a Better Shave
Summary: 5 Stars
These blades seem to be better than the originals that came with my razor. Mine were several years old and these new blades deliver a much better shave faster!Customer Review: I had good luck with these
Summary: 5 Stars
Though I was cautious after reading the "these aren't anywhere near as good as the originals" posting below, I went ahead and bought these as replacement parts for my beloved panasonic es8068. They work just fine, nice and sharp. Give it a try, and return if they don't work for you is my recommendation.
