Customer Reviews of Braun Series 3 Combi 30B Foil and Cutter Replacement Pack (Formerly 4700,7000)
Customer Review: Best cutter block for 8595
Summary: 5 Stars
I replaced the original cutter block and foil on my Braun 8585 a couple months ago with the Braun Series 5 Combi 51S Foil and Cutter Replacement Pack (Formerly 8000 360 Complete or Activator). Since then I've had numerous 'grabs' where it would pull at the hair on my chin and generally cause a lot of pain to shave. On top of that, the parts that did shave okay weren't getting as close as the original cutter did. After reading the reviews on here about the 30B set, I picked one up today at my local big box retailer for under twenty seven dollars. Just finished the job I started this morning with my 51S cutter, and I couldn't be happier. This morning after I stopped my self from throwing the razor through the mirror after the 5th time it grabbed on my 3-day growth, I was ready to drop a couple bills on a totally new shaving system and try to unload the surplus Braun Clean & Renew Refills I had purchased in advance. But now I don't have to. There is a definite difference between the thin-style cutters on the 30B compared to the wider style on the 51S. If you've had this problem with the newer cutter blocks, this is the one for you. Even though it's not labeled for the 8595, it fits just fine. I am going to try using the 30B cutter with the 51S foil for a few days and see how it goes. I'll keep the 30B foil around in case I need it (In the 20 or so years I've used a Braun electric razor, I seem to ruin foils faster than cutters anyway).Customer Review: Fits my 8585...it's like new again!
Summary: 5 Stars
About 8 months ago I purchased this replacement cutter for my Braun 8585: Braun 8000 Activator Combi-Pack Foil and Cutterblock Replacement Parts for Braun's Activator Razor Models 8595 and 8585. As soon as I replaced the cutter and foil the razor started pulling whiskers when I shaved. It wasn't an every day occurrence, but if I skipped a day of shaving the next time I shaved it would hurt, as the razor pulled whisker after whisker. I also had more nicks too, something that was rare before.
I was thinking about replacing my years-old 8585 when I saw reviews that said this cutterblock and foil will end the whisker pulling. I figured buying this was cheaper than a new razor so I took a chance.
The cutterblock fit just fine in my 8585 and is the same size as the blade I replaced. The foil likewise fits perfectly, though the screen is a different design. The exterior plastic is a different color than my 8585 but I don't care about that...I just want a good shave.
I shaved a two-day's growth without a single pull, for the first time in 8 months. What a relief! The shave was closer too. My old razor cuts like it used to, so I don't need to get a new one.
If your 8000 series razor isn't cutting like it used to, give this a try.
Customer Review: A Close, Consistent Shave
Summary: 5 Stars
I've owned a Braun 4700 shaver for close to four years and have purchased two of these replacement foil/blade sets. In the past, I've quickly moved from other electric shavers (Norelco) back to conventional blades. Braun's shaver holds up after years of daily use, and the replacement foil/blades work very well. As another reviewer points out, generally the replacements don't seem to hold up as well as what comes with the shaver; however, I've never owned anything as consistent, or anything I'd hold up against a conventional razor with hot water, etc. Not only is the shave quite good, I also feel like I'm getting a great deal when I compare spending $30 every year to year-and-a-half to spending untold dollars on disposal razors or blades. It should also be noted that there are several replacements for the 4700 shaver that have slightly different packaging. This specific one seems more substantial than the last one I purchased.Customer Review: These are great for the 8995!
Summary: 5 Stars
Even thfough these are supposed to be for the 7000 series, I followed the recommendation of others on Amazon and bought these for my 8995. The color of the foil case is black instead of silver, but that is way more than made up with by the performance of these blades. The blades for the 8000 series are thick and uncomfortable, where these are thin and really cut well. I will never go back to the 8000 series blades again, these are the best out there for the 8995! I was thinking about throwing the whole shaver out and buying a different brand because I was so fed up with the quality of the other replacement blades. I am sure glad I tried these out first. I am ordering another set now so I have it in stand-by.Customer Review: FITS PERFECTLY on 8985
Summary: 5 Stars
I read reviews for the 8000 series replacement foil and cutter and it was recommended to use this one instead. I took their advice and they are right, it DOES fit perfectly. My shaver shaves like it's brand new. In fact, it feels like a much smoother and closer shave than the original. The packaging says these are made in Germany. I guess the moral of the story is; if your packaging says it's made in China, send it back!
Also, I bought this at Walmart because I needed it right away. They also had the 8000 series replacements that are now made in Germany (I guess Braun had too many complaints about the junk from China) but they are $15 more. If the 7000 series ones fit why pay more?
