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

(1) The manufacturer recommends replacing the foil screen and cutter block every 18 months for maximum performance. I wholeheartedly agree. This cutting system seems to last a little longer than older models but it certainly doesn’t last forever. While it might not be exactly at 18 months, you can readily tell that the blades are getting dull when it takes longer to shave and/or you begin experiencing skin irritation. The set is pretty expensive but Amazon.com seems to have a very competitive price (a lot cheaper than I’ve seen in any brick & mortar store). Having said that, it really is like getting a brand new razor each time you make the change so it’s very worthwhile doing it. Not sure if you can even buy them separately, but changing both parts at the same time ensures a closer shave with less skin irritation because they work together as an integrated system.

(2) What else can I tell you? Remember how great a shave you got when you bought it? Get a new foil+cutterblock and you can get it back! The manufacturer says to replace them after 18 months but I found 12-14 months to be more accurate – and I don’t shave weekends either!!!

(3) I am glad that Amazon offers convenient access to replacement parts for the Braun 8000-series electric razors. This razor is truly amazing and really does give an amazingly close shave, but once in awhile it is necessary to replace the cutterblock and cleaning solution, and it is great to know that I can order them on Amazon.
