Braun Series 5 Replacement Head, Compatible with Series 5 Men's Electric Razor Replacement Shaver Head - 52B Electric Shaver Replacement Head Foil and Cutter Cassette

No brainer , my old foil had a tear in it and this new one is welcome .

I purchased this item a while before I needed to replace my existing razor head. This is a piece of junk. It weighs about half of what the previous head weighs. It is so dull, I was suspecting it was used. Pretty sure it wasn't. It's just junk. I think it snagged and pulled out more whiskers than it actually cut. Don't buy it. It wouldn't be worth it to receive it as a bonus prize for buying cleaning fluid. Also too late to return.

It fits and works perfectly

I tried it in the razor it fits perfectly and looks exactly like the original. I haven’t used it yet. I bought this because the one I have on the razor now is coming up to the recommended 18 months. I will see how long it lasts once I start using it.

I compared a new sample of this plastic version (which has metal cutting components) with an all-metal version that I had been using for 18 months. I had a three-day beard growth. The plastic version snagged repeatedly, while the all-metal version hardly snagged at all, even though its blades weren't as sharp due to extended use. The plastic version didn't have the same stability and rigidity and overall toughness as the steel version.

It arrived in a little plastic ziplock baggy, but the replacement head looked like a quality product. First shave went ok, then all downhill from there. It claws and pulls rather than cut the hair. Should have sent it back immediately. I chose to stick it out with this thing because I'm cheap. If you can afford the original do it! Now I stare into the mirror as I shave with tears in my eyes both from the pain of having my facial hair torn from the follicles and from being too broke to purchase a quality head.

perfect for what I need

Received product at proposed arrival date and time, installed on shaver, took three week growth off my face. Took a while to track drown all extraneous hairs, but clipped everything skin tight.Great product.
