Panasonic WES9012PC Men's Vortex Combo Replacement

OEM replacement parts Saturday, July 03, 2010
These are Panasonic OEM parts so are expected to perform as original. I have a Panasonic ES8077 shaver that is over 4 years old. New screen and blades do improve the efficiency and performance but it isn't a huge improvement. The biggest improvement is that the shaver becomes fairly loud over time and the new screen and blades corrects this for awhile. From a performance standpoint the screen and blades are good for a couple of years. From a noise standpoint they are good for about a year. Contrary to Panasonic's recommendations, it makes no improvement to performance or noise to replace either screen or blades separately. They need to go in as a set. My complaint is that the replacement set is quite costly compared to the cost of the shaver.

$35 may seem a bit steep for a replacement foil and blades, but the foil is made of titanium and the blades are steel. If you can get a new Panazonic wet/dry (with the 13,000 rpm motor) cheap then it may be worth it to buy a new razor instead of new blades. But installing these made my ES8043 work like new again. The picture may show one cutting blade but there are two in the package.

Great shave Tuesday, June 08, 2010
My son loves his shaver so much that I ordered a new head. Usually we end up trying another brand because he isn't satisfied and also we get a better deal just buying a new one. Not this time! He has sensitive skin so he really likes the smooth, non-irritable shave. I like the self cleaning, cause it wouldn't get done unless I did it.

My old Panasonic works like a new one, and it is in the top ten of electric shavers

Always works Thursday, April 22, 2010
Replacing the heads once a year is like getting a new razor. I highly recommend it as well as keeping them clean between shavings.
