Ha! Ha! Shaver head for 1/3 the price! But do not buy, save your $$$
Wow, a lot of negative reviews and some positive reviews. I installed this shave head and used it on my dry face with 2 day stubble. Yep, it was ripping the hairs from my face and it hurt. So..... I changed the way I shave. If I run this shave head under water on a wet face it shaves just like the original shave head. For the people complaining, they have to remember that this is a Volkswagen when they are used to a Porsche! Remember it's 1/3 the price of the original. This shave head doesn't have the same coatings that make it slide as easy as the original. Just shave with electra-shave or in the shower and it will be fine.Update: 3/6/20 Yep, I gave it time, and changed my tune. Do NOT BUY. I changed the way I used it to shave, but it has not gotten better. It still HURTS! I've stopped using it. Hey, I tried, I'm not returning it because I gave it a try and it was on me. Put back the original triple head on the shaver, it felt GREAT ! The original head glided so smoothly, I forgotten how good I had it. This one goes in the trash.I would recommend not buying it. I gave it time and even though it is a lot less expensive, it still isn't worth it.

It hurts... at first. But there's a simple resolution.
Like many other reviewers experienced, these heads were pulling lots of hairs out by the root. It was really painful and I almost sent them back.But first I let my shaver run for about 50 minutes to completely dead and the performance of the blades is vastly improved now that they've been bedded-in, with only the occasional, and greatly reduced, hair tug. On the upside, that also put an extra 7 minutes on my discharge time since the "minutes left" recalibrated.Apart from the bedding-in needed, the heads are performing well, and running one full charge cycle is worth the $34 saving to me. My four stars is due to the competitive pricing, one star removed for needing the work-around. Without that work-around, it would've been a one star rating, because it was that painful.

Piece of Junk
If you are masochist, you might like this replacement head, but if you wanted it to work like the one that came with your razor, you are taking a big chance. I tried for a few days but could not take it.Two noticeable symptoms are the pain from pulling rather than cutting the hairs on your face and the sound of poorly fitting blades grinding inside the head.Don't waste your time or money on this product.

Do not buy!
I did receive this on time. It is a full head and fit my Norelco 9800 just fine. When I tried to shave with it, the vibration when it touched my face was unbearable that I could not continue my shave. I was going on a trip so I removed the blades & foils and they fit my old razor head fine so I thought good. I continued to shave with this but I must say that the shave closeness is worse than my old blades. I used on my trip and figured at that point I couldn't return the blades so I guess I'm out the cost and I have to chalk it up as a bad buy.Just had to share and advise "DO NOT PURCHASE THIS ITEM"!

Well, when it's cheaper, Quality is less!
Yes, it does fit, and it does shave, BUT:1. Much noisier than OEM2. Plastic where OEM is Metal3. So, painted surfaces rub off4. Decals at center of heads fall off5. Doesn't cut as close as OEM either because head is thicker or because can't duplicate OEM Lift and Cut System (Patents)!6. Found the base assembly much sturdier than OEM (a real +) but found OEM Head Plate will not fit on this base assembly, so no compatibility with OEM parts of head unit. Replacement foils and cutters probably not compatible either as notches and lock tabs are different.

Needs improvements in construction tolerances.
Not a good product. Nothing like the factory replacements, even for the cheaper price it is not worth the purchase. Tugs and pulls facial hair versus cutting it clean. I used them 4 times and my face hurt. I had already sent one set back for this same issue and this set is here on my desk just setting there cause they will not be used by me. Factory replacements are expensive but at least you can use them and be sure your getting a good shave.

Do Not Buy
I bought 2 sets of these, one for me and one for my son. I returned mine immediately. Son did not say anything so thought his were ok. Spoke with him today and he said these blades are terrible but were a gift and didn't want to say anything to me. They are cheap for a reason. I am past the return window date so will just throw them away. Ordered new heads from Norelco. DO NOT BUY!!

Dull and Painful!
This was not the first time I bought replacement heads but it was the first time I didn't buy it from Norelco and I regretted it immediately after the first shave. I had to stop half way through as the shave was painful. Not only they were pulling the hair, they were really dull for new razors. I'm very dissatisfied and I wish I had read the reviews beforehand. Don't waste your money on these. Spend the little extra and buy the original Norelco ones.

Not good at all
Despite my best efforts these blades are dreadful, they will pull at your skin so much so that it hurts ,this is not shaving they just pull at the skin , they are literally pulling the hair out and not shaving, would not recommend at all they are dreadful .would not recommend .
