I bought my husband a shaver for Christmas, but the head sometimes unexpectedly fell off when he was cleaning it. We were on holiday on a small boat in a harbour in Barcelona, and he thought he'd shake the razor out of the window, oops! He tried diving for it, but though his ears popped, he had no luck. He went back to using his old one. Years later, I came across the razor handle, and thought I'd get the part and give it to my son. I know nothing about electric razors and ordered what I thought was the whole head, but when it arrived, it was only the blades. I thought 'heads' meant the whole thing, as it was all attached. I rang Advantage Shaver Spares, and they couldn't have been more helpful.

It comes in that horrible hard moulded plastic packaging that's a nightmare to get into and liable to give your finger a nasty cut when you do. When I finally managed to prise the packaging open, the thing fell out and the three cutting heads spilled across the floor. The whole thing went together and fitted in the shaver even though I'd inserted the blade parts in upside down. The result was a worse shave than I was getting before! Very disappointed and grumpy before realising my mistake and replacing the heads the right way up. Eventually when it was working properly I realised for years I'd been making do with blades as blunt as a butter knife.

I I old have replaced my shaver heads ages ago, the difference these have made is immense - a shave now lasts an entire day rather than 8 hours.The packaging is a little faffy and it requires care to keep the blades and foils together as a pair (they're ground as such and they won't work as well if mixed up) but so long as you manage that they work like a dream.The only thing that confuses me is the packaging states these should be replaced every 12 months whereas the Philips website states 24 months. Will be interesting to see how long they last .

I chose this product as it is the brand name and I did not want to chance cheaper non-brand alternatives. Item delivered far quicker than I thought or Amazon had advised, so 100% well done on this. I do not normally opt for replacing heads (and never 2 yearly) and usually just ditch the razor and buy new. However this has been the best razor I have had so did not want to change it.Only negative would be the cost of replacement heads, seems expensive but was the general charge on various sites, but I had used this retailer before.

I have owned my aqua touch shaver for a few years and it has gradually got more difficult to get a quick shave or a good shave at all. I had considered getting a new all singing dancing shaver but put off by the hassle of having to change heads every time I wanted to use the trimmer. And the reviews were patchy. So I took a chance on new blades They were very easy to fit- less than 5 minutes. Now my shaver is like new. My great quick shave is back. And I have saved a fortune. Very happy.

My electric razor is now a few years old and (almost imperceptibly) was delivering a less than close shave recently. Buying a new set of heads is a much better solution economically than having to splash out on a full brand new unit, as the body has very few parts that can wear.The pack arrived promptly and fitting (with straightforward instructions) was simple. I can now, hopefully, look forward to a few more years' use before needing more attention to the unit.

I had never realised that you could buy new blades for the shaver I owned. I had relied on the 'self sharpening' aspect of the cutting heads. However the shave became more and more uncomfortable as the whiskers were being tugged at rather than cut. I was looking for a new shaver and stumbled on these replacement blades. I now have virtually a new shaver for relatively little outlay. As long as the battery lasts I will be buying these again as they suit me.

Probably an unfair rating since there is a problem with the shaving head when the cutters are fitted. This is due to the frame assembly not holding the cutters in place and hence shaving is something of a lottery.To date I have not been able to ascertain the cause of the condition arising.This is my third set of replacement cutters and all previous ones have been successful, without any malfunction and I have used the razor for approximately 5+ years

When my Philips 3 Head rotary needed a blade replacement I decided to change my 5 year old razor to a new Braun. Big mistake for me, just couldn't get a close shave with the Braun. I persevered with the Braun, but after 10 months I thought enough is enough. So I bought a set of these to put into the PT920. Well that's 10 months of my life wasted (or at least 5 minutes/day), my Philips now gives me a close shave in 2 minutes. Excellent.

This is a high quality, easy to fit unit from Philips and recommended for your shaver to rejuvenate the cutting heads. It certainly has for my Philips HQ 8240 originally bought in March 2009. Admittedly the unit is expensive but far cheaper than buying a new shaver. My shaver is now as good as new, replacing the last unit bought in April 2011. I must try to remember to buy the next unit in 18 months time. I always forget though.

This is an excellent genuine Philips replacement that has made my shaver as new again. However the sellers description of the models that this applies to is not absolutely clear and unambiguous. To help others to identify if this product will fit their shaver here are the details of the shavers that work with this product has given on the back of the box: HQ81xx series; HQ82xx series; HQ91xx series and PT/AT9xx series

This is the original and works as expected. Very pleased.Do not go for the cheaper ones - I ordered one, it did not have the locking lugs on the cup which kept spinning with the cutter, was made of tarnished cheap metal, and had to return. Going to their website, it was quite incredible to find that they claim this trash to fit an endless list of scores of other shavers. So learn from the mistakes of others.

Based on another review I bought these to replace the HQ8 heads on my AT890 shaver. They really are a direct, drop-in replacement for the original heads and offer better performance. If the heads on your AT890 need replacing I would recommend getting these rather than the HQ8 heads.I've attached a picture to show the similarity. The original HQ8 heads are on the left and these heads (HQ9) are on the right.

Great price, very quick delivery noticed the difference straight away, use my Electric for daily shaves and wet for special occassions and once a month to get a really close shave but these new blades are giving the wet shave a run for its money especially with a pre- electric shaving lotion forgotten how good new blades are - 4 years (that long?) since I bought new ones well worth the money.

Fairly pricey, but they designed to last a year or so. Still much cheaper to replace the blades on an electric shaver with these or similar blades - than to keep buying disposable wet-shave blades/razors.FYI, these packs don't just contain the blades, but also the micro-holed casing that rubs against your skin. I wasn't sure if that would be the case until I opened the packet.
