Braun 8000 Activator Combi-Pack Foil and Cutterblock Replacement Parts for Braun's Activator Razor Models 8595 and 8585

I had to replace the original foil and cutterblock on the Braun shaver I purchased 2 years ago. The shaver is now back up to performing as it did when it was new. So far, nothing but praise for the Braun products I have purchased.

For an electric razor, this Braun product is pretty good. It cuts consistently, and can mow down longer whiskers with ease. Always replace the blade when the razor tells you to, because it does get dull. The new replacement blades always feel great compared to the old blade.

After using my original Foil and Cutterblock since February 2005 until the foil worn to the point of a gap appearing, I finally ordered the replacement Combi-Pack. I have to admit that I was being too cheap and now my razor feels like new again.

The Braun Shaver with this foil and cutter gives a close and comfortable shave. The one shortcoming is that the shaver signals for a replacement foil and cutter well before the 18 month lifespan of the cutter. Since my Braun continues to function well, I am leaving the current foil and cutter on the shaver until I have reason to replace them.

This being in effect a "spare part" replacement, there are no surprises. The only gripe is about the price, which is exorbitant (cutter & foil over 10% of the whole assembly?).
