Review on πŸ”ͺ SpeedXL Replacement Heads for Philips Norelco HQ9 by Diane Willis

Revainrating 1 out of 5

TERRIBLE! - Interchangeable picks

I've been a Revain member since 2009 and have written about a dozen reviews. The product has to be either exceptionally good or terribly bad for me to feel compelled. Unfortunately, that's one of the bad ones. I have been using a Norelco electric shaver for almost 15 years. I change my head at least once a year every year since I bought the razor brand new. Never had any complaints or problems. Until now. That set of interchangeable heads was awful. I could get better results shaving with a brick. Also painful. I have decided to give up this set and buy another one. After 15 years I figured a bad kit might slip through quality control and gave Phillips Norelco the benefit of the doubt. I was in a hurry so I went to Target and bought a new set. I shaved a little better, but if I went a little against the tide it seemed like every mustache had been torn out. The next logical step was admitting that it was time to buy a new razor. Why shouldn't I remain loyal to the brand after 15 carefree years? This also turned out to be a mistake. I tried 4200. After a week of trying to "break in," I finally gave up. Very bad and painful shave. I'm not sure what happened at Phillips Norelco, but they've definitely gotten worse. As I prepare this review, I look forward to the arrival of the new Panasonic shaver. You might also want to think twice before wasting money.
