Poor quality shave. This is not an acceptable replacement.
This looks much like a factory blade but on arrival, and first use, it's a complete let down! I was really anxious to get a new blade set for my reliable 5S. after getting it right the second time (there are two type S5s) I was really excited to see. It came in a very nice metal container, but was not wraps inside. I liked the container so I presumed it would be a good blade. On picking it up the first thig I noticed was the HUGE differences in the weights between my factory blade and this replacement. It was much lighter but I hought it might just be the difference in the shell structure. Then I placed the blade onto the shaver and it REALLY fought me to stay on. Now I'm a little worried. Then came the big test,the shave or in this case lack of one. Brand new and it can barely do the job! I tried everything. I though maybe it wasn't seated right but re-attaching it (it kept coming off the shaver) and pressing MUCH harder to try to get it to shave, it failed miserably. I finally just gave up and put the old blade back on and that's what I'm using now. I bought new cleaning fluid and hoped that would do the job. No-go. I always use AFTA shave pre-shaving and that didn't help. I don't know if I just got a bad one but for the one I got, it is a terrible let down. I don't want to fight with the vendor. Hopefully they'll se this review and maybe send a replacement that they KNOW is good quality, but I have my doubts.
