Review (4/5): Braun 8000  360 Foil & Cutter Block
Just replaced the foil and cutter block that came with my Braun 8975 electric shaver, after almost 14 months of daily use. The foil in the original had some breaks in it. As soon as I used the replacement, I noticed how smooth the shaver felt on my face. The User Guide indicates that the foil/cutter block should be changed after 18 months of use, but I had to do so sooner, perhaps because I press too hard when shaving. If I want a really close shave, I wind up using my Gillette Fusion Power razor. No matter how I twist and turn the Braun, I can't seem to get as smooth a result on my neck, as I do on my face. I do not have to use the razor every day. I would say that my Braun 8975 is the best electric shaver that I ever had and I think that the foil/cutter block have a good deal to to with that conclusion.
