The foils are slightly different than the ones that these new blades replaced. They seem to actually work a little better than the old ones. The shaving seems to be finer and less abrasive to the skin than it used to be. The only issue I have is that Norelco seems to keep changing the replacement blades for my razor so I don't know what to buy.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love my Norelco shaver and periodically need to replace the screens and blades.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I'm not seeing any significant physical difference in these heads vs my old HQ8 except the plastic drive interface is shorter (see pic). Blades have the same spring backer and seem to shave as well. I like my AT8xx razor and plan to keep it until it falls apart. I will replace the battery as necessary. Easy to clean vs the complaints about the new top of the line razors. Perhaps complaints coming from buyers of the HQ8 and SH50 imitations.

The Best I have had Yet

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had long ago given up on electric shavers: they never seemed to give me a close enough shave. Tiring of disposal razors and the like, decided to treat myself to an upper end electric shaver with the hope the years gone by had led to vast improvements. I can say unequivocally this S5200 fits the bill. Remarkably quiet with the ability to gently remove facial hair, so far it's performance has exceeded expectations. The manual is user friendly and the maintenance easy enough.
Pros: smooth shave without effort, can clean the heads running under water, nice fitting cap for the razor heads.
Cons: low noise gives one the feeling not charged.
I would recommend this to a friend!

awful design-I cannot possibly replace these heads. No instructinos and nee a microscope to try to figure out..
I was skeptical of electric razors but this does the job getting to the difficult areas, I.E. under the chin, etc. But would not wait more than 2 days to shave . Accompanied with a nice fitting case, and cleans with a minute or so rinse without doing any damage to heads. And its a nice bonus, the razor came with a pack of free replacement heads. The only negative so far is the plastic head cap broke off a bit.
Pros: easy to clean long use without charging., free bonus replacement heads, tackles difficult areas smoothly, not too noisy
Cons: plastic cap broke easily, can't wait more than 2 days between shaves
