Review (3/5): Why have the value of the blades tripled???
This product performs as expected. I've been using the HS85 for the past 4 years and this is the fourth set of blades that I'm using. As per the instructions the life span to this blades is only a year...after that you can really "feel" and "see" the diminishing performance. I do find odd that my machine is now 4 years old and still "kicking" in fact, these units are still being sold at well over the $200 threshold yet the blades which I started buying at less than $30 are now in some cases reaching the $100 price. I just don't get it...why the high price???does Phillips wants us to move to a newer model and make us spend and additional $200 or what...??
