🪒 Braun Series 3 Old Generation Electric Shaver Replacement Head - 30B - Compatible with SmartControl, TriControl, 300, 310, 320, 330, 340 Review

After reading other reviews I was a little suspicious of the wider blades, foils etc mentioned in other reviews. However, you either had to buy this replacement set or spend another two hundred dollars on a new razor. The current foils + blades (Braun 7505) have been around for about 10 years (I use it once every 2-3 days on average). So far I've used it twice with replaceable foil + blades; The first try with the new foil + blades took more passes than usual, but probably because I was too…

This is the worst set of knives I have ever bought for my razor. The detail isn't the same as it was ten years ago. It fits on the razor but cuts horribly (with these razors you don't have to work that hard to get a close shave) and the result is a burning sensation on the skin (I shaved a few hours ago and my skin still feels raw). If you love the feel of raw, burning skin, this is the cutter replacement for you! Difference: the cutting head used to be a set of round metal plates. Now they've…

Bought this item to replace the cutter and foil on the 7570 shaver. This is very different from the original cutter and foil that came with the shaver . Although it cuts, it takes 3 times longer because of the new design due to skipping a lot of hair on the first and second cuts. I have to go over the same spots 3 times and even then the blade seems to get stuck when I try to cut my hair so I have to shake the razor frequently to remove the cut hairs. As far as I can see, the shaver can only…

I have been using a Braun shaver for over 15 years. Since then he has served me faithfully. I've changed my head to this one several times. Unfortunately, they redesigned the slide and the cutter. I don't shave as close as I used to and I shave longer now. With the old design I wouldn't have much trouble shaving a three or four day old beard. If I don't shave at least every other day now, I have to use a razor. Instead of cutting its hair, it seems like it's just fighting back. In the previous…

Update October 7, 2012 -------------------- Attention buyers - my last purchase of this replacement packaging (June 2012) contained a cutter with "wide" blade. This is the same type of blade as the official replacement pack for the 8585 and is completely ineffective. I even bought a replacement when I was traveling because the shave was taking too long. Same result. This picture shows the difference between the two types of blades: http://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-media/permalink/mo4AIXSC44WNNE…

UPDATE: after 3 months of use the blades have already become blunt and cut my face! Definitely very bad replacement blades are not recommended. Previous Review: This is a pretty good replacement for my shaver. I was afraid it might be fake but it looks legit it says Made in Germany but I guess they just don't make them as good as they used to, they don't seem to stay sharp that long but a lot of people say that it's not just me but I wouldn't mind paying a bit more money for one that lasts…

I have had a Braun 7526 for many, many years (over a decade). The battery no longer holds a charge but works when it is connected to the network, which is not too inconvenient. I've had a thick beard for about 10 years, so I rarely use my electric razor. I use it for trimming now and then. I pass on email. Razor across my beard to trim longer hair and keep it clean. In addition to the dead battery, the blade was dull and there were large holes in the foil. It worked for what I used it for, but…
