What is there to say about an electric razor foil and cutter? I ordered two because it seems replacement foils/cutters for my model may be, or soon will be, obsolete and they arrived quickly and in Braun official packaging. Having opened and install one set, they seem to do their job admirably and certainly better than the ones which they replace. However, the 'old' ones had seen only just 12 months service which I thought to be poor, especially as Braun recommend replacing foils and cutters at about eighteen months. In fact, the performance and durability of the 'old' set, which were noisy too, was so poor from new that I had a sneaky feeling they may have been either generic or even counterfeit even though they were supplied in what appeared to be genuine Braun packaging.

I ordered a cutter & foil for my Braun Electric Shaver, clean & charge, type 5301.The parts are many and varied and it transpires that the type or model number is not sufficient. At the rear of the shaver is quite a collection of numbers, very difficult to read as they are black on black and very small. The requested part arrived very quickly, but did not fit. Amazon gave me the suppliers contact number and after long discussions, and endeavouring to read the various numbers a new part was reordered and the incorrect parts returned to the suppliers. The service received from Mrs G Smith was very professional,

Without going overboard the cheapest replacement found.1st you must find your model number & in may case 390cc2nd look at the razor or manual to see if it states which parts are required e.g. 31s or 32s (suggest stick to this)This is important & you should contact Braun for any advice as some 31s shavers can take the upgrade to a 32s but not all ??Remember s=silver or b=black and should not really matter unless its important to you.All in all I did my home work & thankfully got it right but there are a few who do not. I was still dubious when I ordered but it works great in my shaver 390cc with 31s parts as stated on the razor.

Fitted my Braun Series 3 390 cc but then on the back of the shaver it did say Use Parts 31S so you'd hope it would. Shape and size same as original and perfect replacement, foil and cutter design slightly different from the original, no doubt things change over the years. Shaving performance much improved but then my old foil had holes in it which did make shaving a bit painful.If you've never replaced your foil and cutter would recommend it as you don't realise just how poor things were until you fit new ones and get a smooth chin back.

I have had my Braun Contour shaver for about three years and the foil developed a hole. I subsequently purchased a Panasonic shaver, but this never gave such a good shave and the battery would only last for about three shaves. I bit the bullet and purchased the replacement foil and cutter combi pack. I was delivered within two days and it has transformed my Braun into a near new shaver. Braun does recommend you should change the foil and cutter after 18 months, I will do this in future. Highly recommended and it was a t a good price too.

My husband bought this foil/cutter with some trepidation as the Braun 5770 wasn't specifically mentioned in the product specs, however, it fits and works fine. The pattern of the foil is different from the original and the plastic part is silver rather than black, but that makes no difference - the quality of the shave is at least as good as when the razor was new. The razor must be 7 or 8 years old, and this was the first replacement foil/cutter that has been bought ........ and it's obvious that these new parts have been long overdue!

I thought I was getting a pretty good shave with the existing foil and cutter, and bought this as a spare, but having tried it, I threw away the original, as the replacement gives a noticeable improvement.There is a similar item listed on Amazon at over £21, and I wondered if there was any difference. However, I can't see how the more expensive one would be any better, assuming both are Braun original items.At £14.05 it was good value and I note the price has now dropped to £12.74, which is even better!

Difficult to obtain maintenance item. Braun recommend replacing this foil and cutter block every 18 months and it is good that this is readily availble on the internet. However, the price of this item seems high as a replaceable item and only just justifies its cost compared to buying a new shaver. The performance of the shaver with the new foil and cutter block was not noticeably improved and begs the question on whether the shaver head design is as efficient as it should be.

As others have noted elsewhere a replacement set makes a real difference. The cutter looks slightly different to the previous ones I have used and so far seems a lot better at getting the softer hairs on the neck that the earlier ones could leave. Note the 31S and 31B are effectively the same except one is silver the other black. When I bought it the silver was a few pounds cheaper so if you don't care about the colour check the prices of both!

Product arrived well packaged and in good condition. It was easier to fit than some of the other posts implied and I cannot see how someone managed to break the foil - unless they were reviewing a different product. The foil is mounted in a hard frame as in the original which lasted well over 18 months and I hope this one will match that. Recommended and much cheaper than replacing the shaver even with the current half price offers.

The recommended replacement period is 18 months - but after 3 years my Braun was not giving me the shave I wanted. After replacing the foil and cutter with the 31S Combi Pack it is shaving as good as new. If your foil is passed its 'change-by' date, I can recommend this replacement. It matches the original, and fits the shaver perfectly ... a much cheaper option than a new shaver!

I checked a lot of prices for this foil and cutter and was slightly apprehensive having ordered one, Could it really be so much cheaper than other retailers and Braun themselves.Well i should not have worried, the replacement foil and cutter make my shaver shave like new,I should have changed them a long time ago.A real bargain,my Model was 5895 Silver 5000 series, Type 5735.

I have had my Braun shaver for several years and never had the foil changed. It wasn't broken so i didn't fix it. when a small hole appeared in the foil i sent off for a replacement. The kit came with a new set of blades as well as a foil. I would highly recommend you change the foil & blades every 18 months, the resulting shave is excellant, like a new shaver.

My husbands shaver was in dire need of replacement foil and head. After searching on line with Amazon I found the correct one. I was notified when to expect delivery, which came quicker than the estimated time. Now my husband does not have the problem with scratches on his face and has a smooth face after shaving, which makes us both happy!!

Seems like you have to buy the cutter with the mesh nowadays - adding to the expense. It doesn't seem to cut quite as well as before but I guess that is because the old mesh was worn and so the blade was closer to the skin. Happy with the purchase as it saves having to choose a new razor which is a harder decision.
