SH90 Replacement Rotary Heads for Philips Norelco Shavers Series 9000, New Version of Metal Wheel Buckle and Upgrade Double-Layer Precision Blades

These give an excellent shave. They have a lift off blade set, not a flip open set, so they're not an exact replacement. I have a very tough beard, I get a great shave, and they are staying sharp.

The cut heads cut poorly. They are so dull, they rip the hair. The blades my husband replaced were sharper and cut less painfully. It feels like it plucks a good portion of the hairs before it cuts them.

I used this to replace the entire head on a Sensotouch 3D, AKA the 8100. It used the older 1250X/40 heads which are pretty hard to find now, so I wanted a better option. I purchased this head along with the actual Philips heads/foils and replaced them before even trying it. Upon inspection the blades it comes with are junk (less rows), but that was to be expected. I only needed the head assembly though since I planned on replacing the blades already. It is a little louder than the old head, but nothing alarming. 2 months later it's still going strong.

I've tried a couple different companies full shaver head replacements over the years. I came back to these. They seem to provide the best shave, or quickest shave. It's unfortunate this model has a warning for a lot of returns. But again I find them to be the best so far. Still not as good as the originals, but better than a lot of others being sold right now. I think there really are 2 SH90 razers being manufactured but with many different companies selling them. These SH90s have little dots in the center ring. The other SH90 type does not. At least that's what I've observed so far purchasing a few of these. I purchased one recently from another company and it looked exactly like the model I bought from another company. I bet they all come out of the same factory.

Purchased for an old x1250 and it fits and works ok. It's not a Norelco product since that's been discontinued but the overall quality is just ok, not great. The blades are much harsher on the skin than genuine norelco and there is less articulation of the discs.

I am 85yearsold. My father used a Norelco so I did also. Got mad at Norelco 3 years ago because I couldn’t find a good set of blades. Purchased another well known brand. Never could get a good shave. Received this new Norelco yesterday, used it this morning and finally got a good shave again.

I had high hopes for these blades, but they turned out to be a complete disappointment. Right out of the box, they felt dull and ineffective. I was expecting a smooth, close shave, but instead, it felt like I was dragging sandpaper across my face. To make matters worse, my old blade—yes, the one I've been using for three years—still shaves better than these brand-new ones!Not only did I have to go over the same spot multiple times, but I also ended up with more irritation than ever before. If I wanted a rough, uneven shave, I could have just used a kitchen knife. Save your money and avoid these at all costs!

This is not easy to do but this will be a negative review! Bought this complete head and base assembly thinking it would be a quick and easy swap. I took off the old unit and popped on the one and OMG, I've heard wood chippers that made less noise. I tried to rotate the upper blade assembly but no change. I tried shaving and it was bouncing all over my face. It left rough uncut areas on my face and turned my skin red in patches. I swapped the new blade assembly onto one of my old but quiet base units and problem solved. It's the base that's causing all of the vibration problems. Blades are OK but not great. I took off and put my old stuff back on. I won't buy this again and you should look elsewhere!
