 Works great - shaver back to being like new August 23, 2010
Andrew Mathews (Greenwood, IN)
I'm not sure what the negative buzz about this product is about - related to these replacement parts not working very well - they work great for me! I ignored the negative reviews and went ahead and ordered this product.
After replacing the foil and blades this weekend and shaving, my shave was MUCH MUCH closer and smoother than with my 2 year old blades and foil.
Yes - this replacement foil is different from the original foil that comes with the Activator 8595 (or 8500 series, I guess), but it still works great for me.
I kept my old foil, just in case- I don't think the foil needs replacing half as much as the blades do.
 Bad Product August 8, 2010

I would give this foil/cutter zero stars if possible. I took another reviewers advice and bought the Braun 7000 Series Syncro Pro/Syncro Replacement Combo and it delivered a very nice shave. This replacement pulled whiskers and was a very bad shave. Braun should be ashamed of themselves for selling such junk.
Wrong Item Pictured July 15, 2010
John M. Shell (WACO, TX United States)
I wanted the exact item pictured, instead I was sent Braun's replacement for this item. The description matches but the part number and UPC's are different from the item listed. The new and improved pack does not work as good on my razor. I know this because I have already bought two of them this makes the third. It is not worth the hassle to send it back unless Buy It Now sends me a preaddressed package to send it back in.
Picture, all product ID information needs to be updated.
***READ HERE FIRST! TERRIBLE REPLACEMENT!*** July 5, 2010

If you've been reading any of the reviews here lately you will know the 8000 series foil/cutterblock combo has been replaced with a new combo now called the series 5 Combi 51S. You will receive this replacement even if the picture on the product page shows "8000 series" as it has been discontinued for over a year. Braun merged the replacement for the 8000 series (Activator) with the 360 Complete. This new foil/cutterblock is garbage! The cutterblock has wide blades, as opposed to the thinner blades of the original 8000 series, which pull your stubble and take MANY passes over your face to shave. They are prone to premature failure and I have gone through 3(THREE) of these in 6 months! (I bought one and two were free through Braun after complaining). All the free replacements in the world weren't making the shaving experience any better. I longed for the days when my Activator 8595 cut smooth, close, and comfortably. After all, this shaver had been my favorite for 6 years so far! I was very close to dumping the whole shaver and moving on when I happened across a reviewer on Amazon who suggested using the 7000 series replacement foil/cutterblock in his review. It worked PERFECTLY! The 7000 series replacement looks just like the much coveted original on my 8595 Activator - down to the thinner cutting blades! It didn't pull my stubble, it cut smooth as butter, and was comfortable: JUST LIKE NEW! I'd like to thank the original reviewer (James L. Walls "sixtoe") for the very good advice.
DO NOT BUY THIS REPLACEMENT July 5, 2010
A. Fry (Lititz, PA United States)
I never thought I'd say anything bad about my Braun 8585 shaver, but the replacement foils and cutterblock have ruined a wonderful product.
Here's what happened....I used my original blades and foil for 2 to 3 years. The shaver gave me a GREAT shave. Then I replaced those blades with replacement foil and cutterblock. What a mistake! Apparently Braun was bought out by Gillette in 2005. Gillette changed the design of the blades and moved the manufacture of them to China. Well, now blades that are supposed to last 18 months only last 2-3 months. They are HORRIBLE.
I am so frustrated because it now takes me 3 times as long to shave and the results are just terrible. The shaver is cutting my face and not my hair. Yesterday, I ordered a Panasonic shaver because I can't afford to replace the blades every 2-3 months and get a crappy shave.
I used to love this shaver. What a shame.
