SH30/52 better choice than SH50/52
on September 26, 2020
Posted by: dugger
Gender:Male
My PT724 Norelco started with HQ8 blades and these SH50 are recommended to replace HQ8s. The second set of HQ8 I bought didn't shave as well as the first and after reading the reviews here decided to find another x-reference for shaver blades. I found the SH30/52 also work in my razor and After shaving with them decided they are WAY better than even the HQ8. They are not lift & cut or any other specialty performance, they just cut the hairs, leave the skin. Full slotted screens (no holes and blank spaces) and double the number of cutters. shaving time is two minutes on two day growth not the 5+ minutes on HQ8s.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Terrible

I replaced the blades in my razor with these because the old ones was starting to show signs of getting dull. I put these new blades in to get a clean shave. The new blades would not give me a clean at all. I ended up puting the old blades back in since they done a lot better job shaving.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Should have kept 5 yr old heads
on August 23, 2020

Gender:Male
Have had razor 10+ years, only replaced heads once before, got these new ones and wished I’d kept the 5 yr old set. These are crap. At this pint looking to buy a new razor, won’t be a Norelco.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi there,
We're sorry to hear that you didn't get the expected results with your Philips Norelco Shaver. For the best result when using your Philips Shaver with a foam or shaving gel, we'd recommend you to take care of the following: Always wash your face with water and soap before you start your shaving routine, after which you can apply your shaving gel or foam. Now you should start shaving by moving your shaver in circular movements over your skin. Doing this ensures that all hair growing in different directions are removed. If you're shaving dry, then we'd recommend you to allow at least 15 minutes for your skin to dry completely before you start shaving after washing it with soap and water.
Let us know if this helps you out, and if not, please feel free to get in touch via social media. We’re available 24/7 on Facebook (Philips) and Twitter (PhilipsCare). Alternatively, you can reach out to us via the contact page on our website. One of our colleagues will then try their best to help you further.
Hope to speak to you soon!
Kind regards,
Philips Consumer Care

Has HS-50 blades, not the superior HQ-8 lift-and-cut blades.
on August 20, 2018
Posted by: Elkhorn
Gender:Male
The new HS-50 single edge blades do not shave as effectively or as comfortably as the older/usual HQ-8 lift-and-cut blades. (The HQ-8 blade has been discontinued in the less expensive model razors.) The new HS-50 blades can yank on hairs rather than cleanly cut them, and you need to go over an area several times to get a close shave. The good lift-and-cut type blades are still available on the more expensive model Norelco razors. Hmm, I guess we all need to spend more money to get the quality shave from Norelco that we expect and were used to. Ah, American greed!
Pros: was once a great affordable razor!!
Cons: discontinued the lift-and-cut blades for series.!!, must now buy an expensive model for a good shave!!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Poor Performance
on September 8, 2019
Posted by: PellaFella
Gender:Male
I have been using Norelco shavers for 30 years!
I bought my Shaver 5100 April 29 2019 and loved the shave! Here it is 4 months later and the blades are dull!
I go to your web site to order replacement blades in hopes the new ones will last longer and you are out of stock. While on your site I read alot of reviews and they are not good! Whats going on? I am having second thoughts about buying another Norelco shaver!

Shaver squeals mid-way into shaving
on December 22, 2018
Posted by: TomRI
Gender:Male
I've used this shaver for not quite a year. Found it to perform admirably, but in the past few weeks it suddenly squeals loudly requiring it to be turned off and back on several times. Goes another 10-seconds or so and begins squealing again and again. I rinse the blades in hot running water after each use (as recommended), and run it through the cleaning system once a week (also recommended). I'll try replacement blades, but after being a lifelong Norelco shaver user this is not up to their historical quality.
Pros: good cleaning system
Cons: blades squeal during shaving
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

changing blades is difficult

Replacing the shaving heads is unacceptably difficult. It is a good product other than this.
