Braun 8000 Foil And Cutter Block

The Braun 8000, otherwise known as the Braun 8000 Foil and Cutter Combination Pack , is a replacement kit for Braun electronic shavers under the Activator series. Instead of buying a new unit when the head dies on you, it is more practical to replace the foil and cutter with a new one.

Braun 8000 Foil And Cutter

Braun recommends that the foil and cutter on their electric shavers should be replaced with new one every 12 to 18 months depending on use. Instead of buying a new unit, it would be more practical to spend $30 to $50 on replacement parts. If you check out testimonials online, you will see that those who use the Braun 8595 activator love the product so much that they rather buy the foil and cutter kit than replace the unit.

The Braun 8000 replacement kit is said to be compatible with the rest of the Activator series. The set includes a foil and cutter block. However, it is commonly used with models 8595, 8975, 8995 and 8985. Despite the fact that there is a new replacement kit to replace the 8000 foil and cutter series, many still prefer to use the old one due to the sensitivity issues on the newer model.

Despite being a popular choice to replace the worn out cutter and foil of their Activator series, there are some people who seems to have some problems with the Braun 8000 series, especially the newer, redefined models that came out.

In most cases, the trouble with the newer models of the Braun 8000, the ones with the 51s on the label, seems to be in the changes made to the cutter. The individual cutting elements are wider which results in a rough and painful shave. The foil also seems to cause a few cases of irritation due to the rougher edge. So if you're looking for a replacement foil and cutter for your Braun Activator shavers, then it would be best if you stick with the old Braun 8000 to avoid the discomfort that the new ones seems to have.

Another problem people have with the Braun 8000 is the price. Average price tag for the replacement kit varies from $30 to $70 depending on the store. However, it is a lot cheaper to buy the replacement kit than having to dish out hundreds of dollars more for a new unit.

Braun 8000 Replacement Kit

Testimonies shows that the Braun 8000 replacement kit is the best that Braun has to offer to maintain your use of their Activator shaver models. The foil and cutter is the same quality as with the ones that come with the unit so you need not worry about changes in comfort when using the new parts on the head.

However, it is advisable that you go for the older model of Braun 8000 if you want to avoid the monumental change to the comforts of your razor. Testimonials show that the new Braun 51s/8000 was redefined by the company to produce a better shave, but compromises the promise of comfort.
