Philips Norelco - SH50/52 Replacement Head for Series 5000 Shavers - Silver

Great product at a great cost and fast shipping.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My Grandfather was a Norelco shaver user, He said that they work really good, He told Me that back in the "60s". He lived in Austria. When I started shaving I tried blades I could only use the blades once or twice maximum or my skin would be hamburger. I got a Norelco and never went back. I have three Norelcos right now but one of them my Baby dropped it and damaged it, the other (My Favorite of all time) had toe connection socket were out and the replacement is unavailable now. My new Shaver a i9000 ultra is GREAT the shave seems better then my old favorite an S9731 hopefully it stays that way when its a little older.

Product arrived in prime condition with the only complaint, that is on Norelco's part is that the tamper resistant package allows the product inside the box to shift once the top flat is cut to open it and while it did not happen to me, the cutters and combs COULD have separated, and since they are mated to each other COULD have been a problem.

Got what I needed quickly

Product arrived on time. Packaging was superb

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These new blade refills don't seem to work any better than the old ones, which means that they don't trim any closer. Also, one of the new blades “bites” me. No blood drawn, but pretty ouchie and a down grade rather than an upgrade.

You sent me a new shaver with these HQ50 blades which do not give me as close a shave as the old HQ8 blades. I waited this long to review this product in order to give it time to work. It has not!! I am very disappointed in Philips Norelco.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These replacement blades no longer give a close shave, like I used to get. Will no longer buy Philips products. Will be looking to buy a different brand of shaver.

I bought these specifically because they were advertised as genuine Norelco blades, and were $10 less than the normal $30 price for a set of blades. The price was too good to be true. When I installed them, the shave was rough and slow, maybe just a bit worse than the year old blades I replaced. I got a set of actual Norelco blades from another dealer and paid the full $30 price. The shave was fast, smooth and just what I would expect from new blades. Walmart need to warn this supplier/seller that they are selling counterfeit products, and if they persist, to blacklist them. This sort of problem hurts Walmart's reputation and costs them in multiple ways. I am now very wary of buying these from Walmart and will go back to the local dealer instead.

The shaver I bought these blades for is older, but the head are compatible. However, the shave experience was terrible! The blades were pulling whiskers out rather than cutting them, especially on neck areas. I got horrible razor burn from these heads. I boiught the brand name replacement because of the excellent quality, so I'm not sure why my experience was bad. I do have another electric shaver I use, so it is not a matter of not being used to shaving with one.
