Very Satisfied

Very satisfied when using vendors associated with Amazon. Speed with delivery and knowledge that my purchase is secure is always priority one.

New style head foil, even better than the last style

2008-06-09
The Braun 7000 series is a great razor. This new replacement foil head seems to have a more random hole pattern and perhaps a larger open to covered ratio. This results in a better shave for me especially on neck hair. Good stuff.

Better than ever

This blade set is better thant the orignal blades that came with my razor. I have been using this for a couple of weeks now and would tell anyone who needs a replacement to get it

Wonderful

These replacement parts were easy to snap in and use and now my razor works great again.

Make Your Razor Like New Again

Braun recommends replacing these items every 18 months. The original set that came with the razor only lasted about 11 months before a hole appeared in the foil that resulted in painful pinching and pulling of my skin. The replacement combo fixed it right up like new.

Great savings over T***et Store price

2008-07-17
What a great savings! The in-store price at a local "super" store was $29.99--Amazon's price is $19.99. Thanks for the great deal!!!

Replaced as suggested

Replaced shaver foil & cutter block on Braun 7680 after 18 months of use. There is an appreciable difference between the shave yesterday & today. Much closer & quicker. Seems less loud also. Foil & frame fit much tighter. I may swap out sooner next time.
Medium coarse beard.
Shave 5-6 times a week.
Run it through the cleaner once a week.

weakened 7000-series foil

2008-06-27
Be wary of the 7000FC replacment assembly. Much to my dismay, I went to purchase a replacement foil/cutter for my Syncro 7505 and found that Braun has changed the foil to the design used on the 8000-series shavers. The old 7000 foil had a "staggered grid" pattern on smooth metal. The new 7000 foil has the same "overlapping circles" pattern as the 8000-series foil.

This is a problem because my experience has shown that the 8000-series foil is exceptionally fragile/weak. This problem results in a hole appearing in the foil within 2-20 weeks after replacement. Here is a repeat of a review which I have placed in the Braun 8985 shaver category:
----------------
This is a followup to a review I previously posted about this product. It has become obvious that the foil on Braun 8000-series shavers is defective by design and/or manufacture because the foil goes bad WAY too often. I have used Braun 6000 and 7000 series shavers, and never had the bad experience I've had with the 8000-series shaver. I treat all my shavers carefully; nothing but my face, or tissue, touches the head. Here is my experience:

Oct 14 purchase a new Braun 8975
Dec 15 hole appears in foil
Dec 21 replace foil+cutter (from Braun customer service)
Jun 02 hole appears in foil
Jun 03 replace foil+cutter
Jun 17 hole appears in foil after only 2 weeks!

Really, at $28-$40 for the 8000FC foil & cutter assembly (you can't buy the foil separately), this product has become way too expensive to maintain. I'm going to take a clue from CR, which rated the Remington Microscreen a best-buy in Jun 08, and try the Remington. Hopefully it won't nickel-and-dime me to death.

Best shave

2008-06-24
Braun 7000 Series Syncro Pro / Syncro Replacement ComboRazor and blades are top notch. I alternate between a regular double edge (gave up on cartridge blades - to expensive and don't work as well as DE) and the Braun electric. The Braun is the best. I have tried Norelco and Panasonic and there is no comparison.I have a thick beard but with the talc pre shave, the Braun makes quick work of it. The cost is high for replacements but not as high as for Norelco or the cartridge blades which seem to be going out the ceiling, even at Costco's bulk price. It is worth the investment for the comfort and efficiency. Tip - shave with an electric before you shower in the morning.

It is what it is

The product pretty much is what it is. It's a little expensive, but it has given my razor it's 'edge' back.
