Fantastic Value, 1 Feb. 2013

I checked a lot of prices for this foil and cutter and was slightly apprehensive having ordered one, Could it really be so much cheaper than other retailers and Braun themselves.Well i should not have worried, the replacement foil and cutter make my shaver shave like new, I should have changed them a long time ago. A real bargain, my Model was 5895 Silver 5000 series, Type 5735.

Worth Buying, 11 Dec. 2012

As others have noted elsewhere a replacement set makes a real difference. The cutter looks slightly different to the previous ones I have used and so far seems a lot better at getting the softer hairs on the neck that the earlier ones could leave. Note the 31S and 31B are effectively the same except one is silver the other black. When I bought it the silver was a few pounds cheaper so if you don't care about the colour check the prices of both!

Grey beard, black bristles!, 6 July 2015

Well I'm unlikely to be invited on to the Vine Programme at this rate of negative reviews I seem to be writing lately.

I've been using either the Braun 31B or 31S for more years than I care to mention and this is one I got from Amazon several months ago as I like to be ready with a spare. When I fitted it and had my first shave a couple of days ago it felt fine. I was, however, quite surprised when I tapped the foil block out in the wash basin as I always do to see a copious amount of black bristles instead of my normal whitey grey ones. (I'm a grey 71 yr old).

Pinching these bristles between my fingers I realised they were in fact powdery dark grey metal filings. OK, I thought, it's new and it's just wearing in. But unfortunately I'm still getting these black 'bristles' after 4 or 5 shaves. And my face feels distinctly 'tender', almost sore, after every shave.

Things definitely aint what they should be here. I don't recall this ever happening before and I strongly...
