Original parts, 20 May 2013

Were less expensive buying from this German supplier than from a uk supplier. Delivery by post took a week but that wasn't a problem to me.As these are original parts I would buy from the lowest cost supplier.It is a typical Panasonic trick to sell the razor at lower cost then charge exhorbitant prices for routine service items. Next time I will select a manufacturer with more resonable costs.There is no avoiding buying a new foil once the razor starts slowing down but the cutters can be sharpened with a fine diamond honing file. I have one for sharpening tools but probably not worth buying one just to sharpen razor cutters.As an update I have found that using a few drops of shaving oil on the foil makes the foil and blades last a lot longer and gives an easier, closer shave. I use King of Shaves oil and it goes a long way.

Cheaper than a replacement razor!, 8 Sept. 2013

I bought this for my husbands razor as it's cheaper than buying a new one. It was easy to fit and does a better job of shaving him as the old blades were getting a little blunt.However, this is the second set I have bought (one each year so far) I'm not sure how economical it will be to keep buying them....So far though my husband has no complaints.

Combi foil and blade, 21 Dec. 2013

Thought it was to expensive for what I received only lasts approx 2months using once a day that's £288 pounds a year ( not happy ) The razor is good and gives a good shave but the cutters don't last long enough think I'll go back to a blade and put the money I save towards a holiday .
