Braun 8000 360 Complete Foil and Cutter Block for Models 8995, 8985 and 8975


I had to replace my foil & cutter for my braun 360, This replacement part is excellent & my Braun is back to new condition. Easy to install, Set for another 18 Months.

Just replaced the foil and cutter block that came with my Braun 8975 electric shaver, after almost 14 months of daily use. The foil in the original had some breaks in it. As soon as I used the replacement, I noticed how smooth the shaver felt on my face. The User Guide indicates that the foil/cutter block should be changed after 18 months of use, but I had to do so sooner, perhaps because I press too hard when shaving. If I want a really close shave, I wind up using my Gillette Fusion Power razor. No matter how I twist and turn the Braun, I can't seem to get as smooth a result on my neck, as I do on my face. I do not have to use the razor every day. I would say that my Braun 8975 is the best electric shaver that I ever had and I think that the foil/cutter block have a good deal to to with that conclusion.

Braun says that these blades work with the 8595 that I use. While it's true that the blades do fit and the razor will operate, the level of razor burn is OFF THE SCALE compared to the Activator blades. The best thing about the Braun system is the minimal to non-existent razor burn, an advantage that is completely lost with these. If you use an 8595, avoid these blades like the plague. (Frankly, I would assume that these blades would cause the same problems with other Braun razors, but I can't say for sure since all I have is an 8595.)

Braun 360 8995 razor is a great choice. Bruan fully supports the kit and replacement heads are readily available from Braun. I replaced at the recommended interval, and the unit was restored to New condition.
