Way overpriced I will say, however the blades will last much longer when used wet and with shaving cream. It's a much more comfortable shave when used wet as well.

Review Date: January 18, 2007
Reviewer: C. Kshatri,
The order was processed promptly. The parts were easy to replace. The shaver now works as good as new.
I waited too long!

Reviewer: Tarik E. Sivonen, United States
I should have replaced the old ones long ago.

I have much smoother shaves now. They take less time too.
Worth the price
 
Review Date: May 4, 2009
Reviewer: Frank J. Herron, Folsom, PA
You have a choice, but a new razor at $60.00 or a replacement foil/blade set for $35.00. Why the replacement parts are almost as much as a new razor, I don't know. But I've done that about three times already - got a new razor instead of buying parts and this time, I decided to stick with my Panasonic Razor till the batteries die. This foil/blade set make a big difference. I use my razor dry and wet. But when you notice that you shave the same spot about three times and the hair still won't come off, you probably need new blades. And for the price the Amazon offered, it's the cheapest out there.
Excellent

It may seem a little expensive compared to the price of the whole razor, but it will make it shave like the day you bought it.
Replacement is like a new razor
 
Review Date: May 2, 2008
Reviewer: Scott B. Arbeit, Seattle, WA, USA
The instructions say that we can wait up to 2 years to replace these parts... well, after a year I finally decided to replace the blades and foil, and it's like buying a new razor. The cost is high relative to the original cost of the whole razor, but, you know, it's worth it. I'll happily just buy this part until the handle falls apart.
Necessary...
 
Review Date: September 9, 2008
Reviewer: M. Andrews,
I have a heavy beard and after 8 months, I need to replace the blades and outer foil. The replacement was as advertised and arrived in a timely manner. I agree with other reviewers that the replacements are expensive, but unfortunately in my case, they are necessary. For lighter beards, I would recommend going longer than 6 or 8 months before replacing blades and foil (despite what the manufacturer recommends).
Great shaver
 
Review Date: December 20, 2008
Reviewer: Sanjay Gupta, King of Prussia, PA USA
Shaver works great. I love it. The hair clipper does not work very well (and when using the clipper it makes a strange sound as if the gears etc. are slipping). One thing you should know is that when it cleans it makes fairly loud noise.
Received on time at good value. Easy to install

Just a great product...no issues. Shaves like the way when i got the shaver brand new...
Like new again
 
Review Date: August 2, 2009
Reviewer: Christopher T. Manning, USA
Razor shaves like new again. Yes, they are costly, but thats the way it always is with shaving products. I use the razor to shave my head. It's well worth the cost to me over Mach 3 Turbo blades and an occasional cut or nick.

Reviewer: VP,
I bought these replacements for my husbands Panasonic shaver. Had no problems replacing the old parts with these. Been using it for the past month.
Excellent transaction.
 
Review Date: November 29, 2009
Reviewer: Larry Gevirtz, Bronx NY
This was an excellent purchase! It removed the need to buy a new shaver and saved me quite a bit of money. The item was brand new and functioned perfectly. Highly recommended!
Great replacement item
 
Review Date: February 25, 2010
Reviewer: A. Gracia, TEXAS
Great replacement works great and I have a new great shave. I think that the company charges to much and since its a replacement and required item I guess they can charge what they want but a great item outside of that fact.
Always works
 
Review Date: April 22, 2010
Reviewer: M. Fielder, North Alabama
Replacing the heads once a year is like getting a new razor. I highly recommend it as well as keeping them clean between shavings.
Completely Satisfied

My old Panasonic works like a new one, and it is in the top ten of electric shavers
Great shave
 
Review Date: June 8, 2010
Reviewer: Rebecca Hughes, ARKADELPHIA, ARKANSAS, US
My son loves his shaver so much that I ordered a new head. Usually we end up trying another brand because he isn't satisfied and also we get a better deal just buying a new one. Not this time! He has sensitive skin so he really likes the smooth, non-irritable shave. I like the self cleaning, cause it wouldn't get done unless I did it.
Makes it like new again
 
Review Date: June 28, 2010
Reviewer: Spud Spudly, NYC, USA
$35 may seem a bit steep for a replacement foil and blades, but the foil is made of titanium and the blades are steel. If you can get a new Panazonic wet/dry (with the 13,000 rpm motor) cheap then it may be worth it to buy a new razor instead of new blades. But installing these made my ES8043 work like new again. The picture may show one cutting blade but there are two in the package.
works as advertised

If you have the panasonic shaver, this is the replacement cutter and foil. Works fine.

Reviewer: DJ, Clearwater, Fl. USA
Product arrived promptly. New blades and foil brought razor back to "as new" performance.
Works like the originals
 
Review Date: January 1, 2008
Reviewer: Mac E. Pierce, West Virginia, USA
The replacements blades work basically as well as the original blades. I have no idea if their service life will be as long, but time will tell. The only complaint I have with them is, like so many others, the price. The cost for the replacement blades and foil was over half of what I paid for the entire razor new. To me this is ridiculous. However, since you need the new blades, Amazon it the cheapest place I found to buy them.
Replacement combo
 
Review Date: September 27, 2008
Reviewer: Stephen Teffner,
This product works as expected. The only drawback to it is the price. For the price and the age of my unit, I could have purchased a new shaver.
Good as new

I waited too long, but my Panny razor is good for a couple more years.
Just a replacement part
 
Review Date: January 30, 2010
Reviewer: ,
This was just a replacement part. Installed easily. High priced though - this one part cost about a third of what the entire shaver cost.

OEM replacement parts
 
Review Date: July 3, 2010
Reviewer: Alan Mefford, Hilo, HI
These are Panasonic OEM parts so are expected to perform as original. I have a Panasonic ES8077 shaver that is over 4 years old. New screen and blades do improve the efficiency and performance but it isn't a huge improvement. The biggest improvement is that the shaver becomes fairly loud over time and the new screen and blades corrects this for awhile. From a performance standpoint the screen and blades are good for a couple of years. From a noise standpoint they are good for about a year. Contrary to Panasonic's recommendations, it makes no improvement to performance or noise to replace either screen or blades separately. They need to go in as a set. My complaint is that the replacement set is quite costly compared to the cost of the shaver.

Reviewer: Drifter1, NY
Cost is absurd. They give away the razor to get you to spend almost half the price for replacement foil and blades. Still, its a very good razor and worth buying the kit every year for 3 year or so til battery wears out.

Be careful Amazon often has the same items sold by various dealers at surprisingly different prices. Shop the web first for the price and then come here for the reliability.

Review Date: July 26, 2007
Reviewer: 007, USA
I recently purchased a replacement combo blade and foil for my Panasonic shaver and I was very disappointed when I received it and replaced my original blade and foil with the new combo pack. The new blades are not sharp as the original ones and they don't give you a clean shave. I don't think the quality of the replacement blades are the same as what comes with the shaver when you first purchase them.
A bit pricey, but will make your shaver as good as new
 
Review Date: June 23, 2008
Reviewer: M. Wong, San Jose, CA
It's a bit expensive at $40, but a great way to make that shaver just like new! But I'm probably gonna end up getting a new razor on the next go around just to catch one of those Amazon deals on bulk buys for a shaver and its accessories. Those Vortex cleaning cartridges are starting to add up at retail price.

Amazon still has the best price w/ free shipping all around.
Almost the price of a new shaver
 
Review Date: December 13, 2009
Reviewer: Nard, Grayson (Atlanta), GA USA
For this price you can almost buy a new Panasonic ES7103K ($49.47 on Amazon) shaver which includes this combo. Panasonic ES7103K Pro-Curve Wet/Dry Triple Head Shaver, Black
Can someone tell me why one should replace the foil?
 
Review Date: November 15, 2007
Reviewer: Richard E. Pozzuto, Oakland, CA United States
I've had my shaver for over a year now. I've replaced the blades a couple of times, but can someone tell me why I should replace the foil? It doesn't look broken or any different from the day I bought it. I doesn't actually do the cutting does it?
did not help
 
Review Date: September 4, 2007
Reviewer: James B. Hiersjr,
The new parts fit but made no improvement in performance. Would have returned product but for policy requiring it to be unopened.
This is way too expensive
 
Review Date: October 3, 2006
Reviewer: Telstar, Los Angeles, Ca USA
This combo is over 30% of the cost of the entire shaving system including the cleaning base. This is simply outrageous.

Refurbished, but sold as new - hairs on foil? Ewww!!
 
Review Date: June 20, 2006
Reviewer: FireHawk, Buffalo
I'm not sure why, but inside this very tightly sealed package, I can see several human whisker hairs on the surface of the foil. It says nothing about this being a refurbished product, but it clearly is, unless it was tested or something? Either way, I don't want some dude's whiskers on my face when I'm shaving. Gross. I sent it back for a replacement and hopefully this time I'll get a clean one.
