Fantastic Shave
on June 9, 2019
Posted by: DenverShaver
Gender:Male
Not sure what all the vitriol is about with some of the lower-rated reviews, but my experience is simple. These SH50 replacement heads give me a better experience than my old HQ8 blades did. My shaves seem a little smoother now with these new blades and shaving itself is definitely more comfortable. Maybe my original blades were defective. All I know is these new SH50 blades are better for me.
Pros: smoother shave more comfortable
Cons: none
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have used Norelco for 40 years with satisfaction, but have had a new 5000 for four months and still cannot get a close shave. I guess I will buy a new head to see if that is the problem. Other suggestion???
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Norelco shaving heads replacements are a must have for smoother shave. I like to order ahead so I am never without.
Pros: easy to use.

NOT compatible with s5880 Part 2

"Response from Philips" says this replacement head SH50 is compatible with s series.
I have philips S5880 and on the back of the razor says "REPLACE WITH SH71 HEADS".
SH50 head has a "ridge" on its cover and cannot be inserted to the s5880.

Hello,
Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that your experience with the shaving heads was not as pleasant as you expected. We strive to keep our customers happy by making improvements based on feedback like this. The reason the SH50/52 heads do not fit your shaver is because they fit only the Series 5000 that have rounded heads whilist your shaver has angular heads. The correct replacements for your shaver are indeed the ones that are written on the back of the handle the SH71/52.
If you have any additional questions, please get in touch via social media. We're available on Facebook (@Philips) and X (@PhilipsCare). Don't worry, if you don't use Social Media, you can also reach out to us via the contact page: https://www.usa.philips.com/c-w/support-home/support-contact-page

Update SH30/52 better choice than SH50/52 - dugger
on November 11, 2023
Posted by: dugger
Gender:Male
Purchased SH50 for razor due to the cutters fitting the spindles better than the cutters in the 30/52. Planned on using the new cutters with the old screens from the 30/52 due the initial issue with the SH50 screens.
I decided to try the 50 as received on a 3 day growth. produced a perfect cut, even with NO PRE-SHAVE which I never do.
The specs must have been reviewed or the tool changed that cuts the grooves in the screens. Whatever, they work. I still don't get the holes. Very hard to push a string into a straw.by dragging the straw over the end of the string

The turn around time from ordering to receiving the new blades was only a few days. New blades are shaving as smooth as when shaver was new. wife says face feels like baby butt skin soft.
