These three stainless-steel heads fit Norelco Quadra Action razors only. Blades in the heads shave in two stages, with slots for long hairs and holes for short hairs. Installing them is simple, and the package provides illustrated instructions. They adjust to individual facial contours for a smooth, effortless shave. --Fred Brack

 Norelco is heads, everything else is tails... September 24, 2005

These are replacement heads for what I consider the best all-around electric razor on the market, the Quadra 7865XL. (My first Norelco electric lasted 30 years.) The razor itself is efficient-but the "business ends" are the heads. The manual says to replace them every year, but they are rather pricey. I was not thrilled by this aspect of the product, but experience has shown that you don't have to replace them that often IF YOU KEEP THE HEADS CLEAN. I brush mine out every time I use the razor, and clean the entire head assembly every one to two weeks. The major cleaning is easy: take the entire head assembly off the razor (the hinge snaps into the body) and place it in a small dish of Formula 409 (DO NOT USE A CLEANER CONTAINING AMMONIA! It will destroy the plastic parts and cause corrosion of the metal.) or similar household surfactant cleaner for a few hours, then take the heads out to rinse and clean them as instructed. Then I lubricate them as instructed. Do not overlubricate! Following this procedure, I can make them last a year and a half, and I shave my entire head every day.
However: You will notice a decrease in efficiency after about a year, and if your whiskers (or hair) are particularly tough, yearly replacement may be a necessity.
Also note that the instructions indicate a "breaking in period" for new heads. This is quite true of any self-sharpening electric razor head. Two or three shaves after replacement, there is a marked increase in efficiency.
In sum: a good product that works as advertized when used according to the manufacturer's instructions and recommendations. With extra care in use, it works better than advertized.

Figaro Would Be Proud! January 9, 2004

Our son went to see the opera "The Barber of Seville" today with his fourth grade classmates. Not only was it reportedly over 3 hours long, but the singing was in Italian (which is fine, but was not, as promised, in English), it took more than 30 minutes just to get out of the parking garage, and there were no snacks!I mention this not only because I love our son, but also because I was wondering how Figaro (said barber) would have liked these refills for the Norelco Quadra 7 and Quadra Action rechargeable electric razor. I imagine he would have loved the shaver (see separate review for the Norelco 6826XL), but that at some point he'd have sung a dramatic aria about the need to semi-regularly change your blades.
It's easy to neglect changing the blades, as the Norelco works wonderfully and the deterioration is imperceptible at first. But after about 2 years on the SAME SET OF BLADES the performance is noticeably worse. This neatly packaged replacement set is easy to use (but try to keep the two part razor head and blade together as you place them in the shaver), the price seems reasonable, and it shaves again as if it were new: fast, smooth, close. The box indicates that it replaces blades for models 7885/7866/7865/7864/7845/7825/6891/6887/6886/6885/6857/6866/6865/6848/6829/6828/6826XL/7617/7616X, but then confusingly adds, "Not all Quadra model numbers may be listed." It states also "DOES NOT FIT ANY OTHER NORELCO MODELS (presumably this means they fit Quadra 7 and Quadra Action Razors only)." My one complaint is an environmental/engineering one-why was a big box used for shipping such a small item? The fat lady sings; the review is over. Thank you for your patience.

A convenient and easy (and quick) way to order and receive replacement heads for your norelco razor. These are the same heads you could order directly through the norelco website - but with increased time and cost.

These head have made my Norelco like a new machine and the price through Amazone was fantastic. In the past I have replacement heads cost as much as a new Norelco, but this buy was very good! No shipping charge was a bonus.
