Customer Reviews of Braun 8000 Activator Combi-Pack Foil and Cutterblock Replacement Parts for Braun's Activator Razor Models 8595 and 8585
Customer Review: Pricey but worth it
Summary: 5 Stars
The manufacturer recommends replacing the foil screen and cutter block every 18 months for maximum performance. I wholeheartedly agree. This cutting system seems to last a little longer than older models but it certainly doesn't last forever. While it might not be exactly at 18 months, you can readily tell that the blades are getting dull when it takes longer to shave and/or you begin experiencing skin irritation. The set is pretty expensive but Amazon.com seems to have a very competitive price (a lot cheaper than I've seen in any brick & mortar store). Having said that, it really is like getting a brand new razor each time you make the change so it's very worthwhile doing it. Not sure if you can even buy them separately, but changing both parts at the same time ensures a closer shave with less skin irritation because they work together as an integrated system.Customer Review: Great Shave

This is the second time I've ordered this replacement head for my Braun 8585 electric razor. I had used a rotary razor in the past but it irritated my skin pretty bad not to mention razor burn from time to time. This replacement head and foil makes the 8585 work like it was new giving me a close shave in a short period of time and it's very easy to change the heads and foil. The company recomends changing them about evry 18 months and that seems to be about the time that the quality of my shave starts down-hill. Being disabled with little use of my hands this razor combination fits my needs better than anything else I've tried. I'll keep using them until the razor dies but even then I'll replace it with another foil razor.Customer Review: It's like new again!
Summary: 5 Stars
This was my first replacement for this razor that I was so impressed with when I first tried it almost 2 years ago. It was probably long overdue, but I finally ordered this replacement blades. It was like I just pulled it out of the box new again. Next time I won't wait so long to keep this thing tuned up. FYI - I don't buy the cleaning solution for this. I bought a gallon of denatured alcohol for my local hardware store. When I need new solution, I clean out of reservoir real good and refill with the denatured alcohol. I then add a few drops of my favorite cologne. I change up the fragrance with every refill. Much cheaper and I get a nice variety of scents. Give it a try!Customer Review: Capable replacement
Summary: 5 Stars
I am not sure what type of werewolf hairy faces that some of these reviewers have but I have used this replacement block and foil for a week now and have no complaints at all! No, it is not the same replacement parts that I have recieved previously from Amazon for my Braun razor but these work much better than the ones I am replacing. Not to mention the alternative of buying a new Braun razor!! I dont have a very hairy face, but I don't see where there would be a problem for those with more facial hair than I. Buy this with confidence... and the satisfaction that you just saved an awful lot of money not having to replace your very expensive Braun!Customer Review: Works great - shaver back to being like new

I'm not sure what the negative buzz about this product is about - related to these replacement parts not working very well - they work great for me! I ignored the negative reviews and went ahead and ordered this product.
After replacing the foil and blades this weekend and shaving, my shave was MUCH MUCH closer and smoother than with my 2 year old blades and foil.
Yes - this replacement foil is different from the original foil that comes with the Activator 8595 (or 8500 series, I guess), but it still works great for me.
I kept my old foil, just in case- I don't think the foil needs replacing half as much as the blades do.
