Customer Reviews of Philips Norelco HQ8 Spectra Tripleheader Replacement Heads
Customer Review: You will be glad you got these blades
Summary: 5 Stars
Replacement blades are a must. The razor will remind you about once a year which is fine in most cases. But, if you have a heavy beard or shave more than once a day, as I do, then you should replace the blades every 8 months or so. The reminder on the razor is only a suggestion, not a command. After all, it does not know when the blades get dull. So, I simply ignore the reminder and replace the blades when I feel it is necessary.
One thing you must do is use the new blades for several days until they settle in and adjust to your skin. Until then you may have a little irritation. Another problem I have solved is the hair on my neck. I use to think the harder I press the razor, the better it would get those stray hairs. But, all I got was a rash. I discovered that if I simply use a very light touch and not press hard then it got those hairs much better and with no redness.
Replace your blades at least once a year and your face with thank you.
Customer Review: Really a great deal - and SOOOO Convenient!
Summary: 5 Stars
We have a father in a nursing home in another state and have had to purchase a new electric razor almost every year. We tried shopping around for, wrapping and shipping to replace heads and after all the hassle, it never seemed to work. Then we got this Norelco razor and he loved it, the caregivers loved it, and we decided to try replacing the heads again (Much cheaper and better for the environment than throwing out the razor again.)
These were shipped directly to a caregiver there, got there in just a couple of days with the free super saver shipping, and were extremely easy to replace. And the razor works like new again! I put these on the subscribe and save plan so they will always be shipped free and I save a little in the deal. We should not need them more than once a year, but we can just pass on the first regular shipment in 6 mos. and get the next one (or order in between if needed).
Great deal. Gotta love this Amazon thing!
Customer Review: Replacement Heads Are a Must For a Clean Shave
Summary: 5 Stars
If you use your electric razor every day you must replace the heads at least one a year. I noticed that my razor wasn't cutting cleanly; so I replaced my heads after ten months. What a difference, rather than taking three or four passes, it takes one or two with no pulling. My beard is heavy; so, I will be replacing the heads every six to eight months. It's worth the extra money for a clean shave; I was spending more on Gillette Mach3 cartridges every six months. I apply "William's Lectric Shave" before and "Nivea Post Shave Balm" after shaving; the alcohol based after shave I was using caused redness and burning around my neck. Overall, I'm very pleased with my "Norelco Razor" and would recommend its use by anyone interested in a comfortable clean shave.Customer Review: Great new heads ... however....
Summary: 5 Stars
These are fine new cutting heads. However, I have in the past used a Vollco sharpener, which I just found in the drawer from my previous Norelco! Amazon also carries these (search Vollco Sharpening Heads For Select Norelco Models)and they are great, work like a charm to make your 'old' heads last 3-4x longer as long as you take care of them. I would suggest getting both a set of new heads and a sharpener set so that you can 1) sharpen your old heads to like new condition and then 2) have the backup of the new set for when you need them. My experience is that the re-sharpened heads dull just a bit faster than new originals and you really can only get a few sharpenings from them before they need replacing.Customer Review: You can't beat Norelco's quality replacement parts
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been a fan of Norelco razors and used them for about 15 years. I've never had problems with them and frankly the main reason for not using the same razor for the whole time is that I have wanted the "upgrades" available in newer razors after a few years either more battery life or newer shaving head, such as the Spectra which is superior to the older styles. Their replacement heads are very easy to change and the new heads make a significant difference in closeness. I highly recommend that you replace the heads on an annual basis for best shaving quality/closeness and don't take a chance with replacement heads that are not Norelco OEM products.
