Weak foil

The package says replace every 18 mos. The foil started to crack after less than a year of only part time lite use. I have to replace it or it will cause skin laceration
Night and Day difference new the new blade is sharp and my shaves are smooth. I recommend buying off the Braun website to avoid getting a fake. This was worth it for sure
Dear Braun, I am in my 60s, and I've been a Braun electric razor user for decades. Admittedly, I have a tough beard. I currently own an old Series-5 and three Series-9 (one original, and two of the Sport editions from Costco). The old Series-5 still runs and shaved well; but getting an OEM blade for it is futile. All the Series-9 give a good clean shave when equipped with OEM blades. However, the OEM heads literally fall apart within 6 to 9 months with regular use, even though they are rated for 18 months. I've inspected the failing heads over several OEM replacements. The first to go are the center two hair trimmers blades. They become raised in the head, that is when you know the end is near. My first/original Series-9 is so noisy when running, with or without a blade, that I don't use it any longer to save my hearing. I came hear to worn others. It looks like so many others have already shared the truth. Is the Series-9 a failed design, materials, product? Are the newer Series-5 or Series-7 any different? In my opinion, German engineering and workmanship does not appear to be what it used to be, so sad.
Upgraded from Braun 7 to 9+ Pro. The 7 was better than the more expensive 9+ Pro, which did not shave close as quickly, and required more time and effort to shave. Also, most irritatingly, the shaver wash cartridges run much longer than they used to, last far less shaves, and have to be replaced much sooner. When my current 9+ pro wears out, I will either go back to the 7 Series or buy a top-of-the-line Panasonic.
The blade head that came with the shaver was great. But the replacement suck. Waste of money to by replacement blades. They thought they would save money by selling cheap replacements heads. Wrong, because now I will never by a Braun shaver again. Short term you may have made more money of cheap replacements but in long term you have lost. And when I say cheap not talking about the price talking about the quality of product.
