Norelco HQ5 Reflex Action Razor Replacement Heads

Strengths: Replaces completely worn out blades. Easy installation

Weakness: Doesn’t really save the razor. Still not a smooth shave

Well I’ll tell you what I tried first. They’re this mail order place that sells all kinds of stuff; some good some bad. For example they have this “razor repair” that’s supposed to sharpen your blades. Doesn’t work. So I finally decided to spend the 30 bucks and buy new blades.

I was very surprised that hairs were still being yanked out of my face. Yes, it does cut more easily but I truly think at this point that you just have to get either a new housing AND blades or just buy another shaver. Because I assumed brand new blades would be sharp-and they are, but I think their function is so tied in with the housing that it just can’t be salvaged after a certain amount of time. Mind you, this shaver is only about 3-4 years old, or maybe its 5, but no older.

Norelco HQ5 Reflex Action Razor Replacement Heads

Strengths: Ease of use. Durable.

Weakness: Expensive.

I would recommend the Norelco HQ5 Reflex Action Razor Replacement Heads product because it is durable and easy to use. The Norelco HQ5 Reflex Action Razor Replacement Heads product is still however expensive ($30 with shipping).

Norelco HQ5 Reflex Action Razor Replacement Heads

Strengths: Great fit, long durability, from original manufacturer.

Weakness: none

I purchased this product for my Norelco Reflex Action Razor 5603x. My original razor heads have worn out so I have to substitute them. What can I say? It's from Norelco the original manufacturer. I'm happy with it so far, and wish it'll last long. Thanks Pricegrabber.com for the great price.

Norelco HQ5 Reflex Action Razor Heads

Strengths: Easy to install, Cuts like a new razor

Weakness: None

Instead of buying a new razor when my existing razor was not cutting very well, I decided to buy the replacement heads ($24 vs $80 for a new one). I am very happy with my decision as my razor is as good as new.

Perfect product

Strengths: Easy to install, like getting a new razor for a third of the price.

I bought this to replace the heads on my old razor rather than spend $100 on a new razor. This product is perfect and better than I was expecting. Easy to install and gives a close cut. Now I'm thinking if I should buy another set for when the one I just bought runs out in a couple years.

Works as a charm

Strengths: It works just as the original heads coming with the Norelco 5801XL.

Weakness: none

It is a great product. Highly recommended. However the price is bit high. It is about the same as a new shaver. I got this with a promotion that is why I bought it.

Norelco HQ5 Reflex Action Razor Replacement Heads

The razor function just like new after replacing the heads. I am very satisfied with the smooth shave it gives. Price for the replacement heads could be bit lower though.

Norelco HQ5 Reflex Action Razor Replacement Heads

I usually buy a new razor after the blades get worn because replacement blades cost so much. With this great deal, I have saved a lot of money, and my razor is as good as new.

Norelco HQ5 Reflex Action Razor Replacement Heads

Strengths: works very well. provides close shave

Weakness: high price

This is the only replacement cutter heads assembly that is available. Fortunately the replacement heads work very well. It would be useful if alternate sources were available at lower price.

Norelco HQ5 Reflex Action Razor Replacement Heads

Strengths: Offers a smooth close shave. Very durable.

Weakness: Replacements are expensive, but can sometimes find a god deal

These easy to install replacements are the key to a clean smooth shave. They are costly to replace as often as they should be. They are the only replacement option available, but a resonable price can be found online.
