for my 4 year old Norelco
By Justin Foley on Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2015
I ordered these replacement blades for my 4 year old Norelco and they came in a ridiculously short amount of time. The blades are great, I think, but with the new blades I've been getting a lot of razor rash especially in the area under my chin. Apparently it takes a while for your skin to get used to the new blades, but the rash was really bothering me, so I went to the internet looking for a solution. I found online that the rash was really avoidable if I exfoliated my skin a couple of times a week to get rid of dead skin and bacteria, and exfoliating also gives you a much better shave. I figured it was worth a try, so I ordered thisTreeActiv Anti Acne & Rosacea Treatment Sulfur Mask Plus Rhassoul, Bentonite Clay Mask with Witch Hazel & Aloe Vera - Refreshing Lemon Scent (1 Jar) (4 Oz) online, and whoa--it worked really well. It felt a little funny at first to use such a thick cream on my face, but it really helped make my shave so much smoother and I also was able to get rid of some of the painful razor bumps that I get every so often on my face. I definitely recommend changing your blades more often than 4 years in between, and just in general it helps to exfoliate your face a few times a week for super smooth shaves that you will have to do less of. Also, I use TreeActiv+ Tea Tree Oil Acne Solution for Advanced Acne Treatment - All Natural Acne Spot Treatment - Blemishes Gone or Your Money Back! (60ml)to clean my razor, apparently it works better than anything else in preventing dullness of the razor, and its good for keeping your razor in good shape.

Six loose pieces, not the single assembly shown. No instructions. And, yes, instructions are needed.
By Daniel P. Smith on Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2018
1) Amazon's picture, and the box the product comes in, show a single head assembly, with three heads mounted single holder, ready to snap onto the shaver as one piece. What it contained was a total of six separate loose pieces--three blades and three grills--that fell apart and scattered when I opened the package. 2) No instructions. When I pay $28.99 for a genuine Norelco part, the least they could do for that price is include an instruction sheet in it. 3) Installation is not difficult, but not obvious, either. An instruction sheet IS needed. I couldn't find instructions linked from the Amazon catalog page, nor could I find one on the Norelco website. Yes, after a search of the house I located the original shaver directions, and I am glad I did it, as I would not have successfully figured it out without the directions. 4) Norelco's website calls out HQ8 as the replacement part, and Amazon's catalog page shows it as "Amazon's Choice." I am annoyed at myself for overlooking Amazon's note, a little lower on the page, that "There is a newer version of this item." But I am also annoyed both at Amazon and at Norelco for not making this clearer. An outdated item should not be an "Amazon's Choice."
