Why do Philips love changing their spares numbering?, 10 Aug. 2012

I have used Philips rotary shavers all my adult life and have looked to buy head units regularly on my various shavers at some time in their life, so it came as no surprise that the quoted HQ55 replacement shaving heads for my shaver are no longer made - I have always had a sneaking feeling Philips change the spares numbering of the heads the moment they put the shaver out on the market.

Philips HQ56/50 Replacement Shaving Heads, 1 Aug. 2011

I have had a Philips shaver for many years now and I still prefer the two headed models which unfortunately are not made any more HQ481 is my present shaver and so I have had to purchase three replacement heads instead of the two required, so this time I have invested in two packets of replacement heads making six heads in total. hopefully this will save me money in the long term. Thanks amazon for a very reliable service. Amazon sent the goods by Royal Mail on Friday and I received them on Saturday morning and ir was all free post, Brilliant !

VERY PLEASED WITH PURCHASE, 26 Dec. 2011

I needed to renew the shaving heads of my shaver. At my local Boots and on other sights they cost nearly as much as a new shaver.I found these on Amazon at 40% the price of other sources and they are the genuine product and just what I needed.Even better, was the service from Amazon. I ordered normal delivery and got me purchase the next day.
