A Quality Bargain
I bought my Norelco shaver because I was able to test it on a trial basis and (at least when used with shaving cream) gave me a shave closer than that I could get with a razor blade. I enjoy this performance because it lets me shave only every other day (without looking like Steve Bannon). Eventually, the blades on my shaver wore out and it was time to replace them. However, I was floored when I saw the replacement price of a SH90 blade set. The regular price was some $60 and what was called a 'sale' price was $48 and change. Ouch! I was quite leery after learning that this product was made in China and had a 6-week delivery window. However, there was no question that the price ($18 plus a $4 shipping charge) turned my head. So, I placed the order. To my surprise, I got these blades in about a week. Product was drop-shipped from Austria via regular mail. These blades look different than the Phillips blades. Nevertheless, they fit perfectly and work very well. They are quiet, shave quickly and very close. If anything, they seem to nick my chin less than the Phillips blades they replaced. There does not seem to be any problem with the washing cycle with these blades. I am beginning to think that I made the right, albeit risky, choice for my needs. Still, it remains to be seen if they last as long at their task as the Phillips product.

Blades from China - OK but ...
For the price - about a third of what an "official" set of blades cost, these are a pretty good deal. I am getting a decent shave from them, but they are somewhat irritating. It seems like the slots in the foils are larger or not as polished as the previous set of Norelco foils were. These have only been in use for a week or so and it may improve with further use.The shipping on these is absurd. They send them regular mail from China. This means it can take anywhere from three to six weeks to receive your shipment. In today's world, this is absurd. If these folks are selling any quantity at all in the US, they need to have a US distributor. It would save money in the long run. Amazon does warn you that this will take awhile, but this should be made more prominent.

Fit perfectly, shaves great
I have a Norelco 8950 shaver which is about a year old. These blades shave better than the blades that came with the shaver at a fraction of the cost of genuine parts. Since this is my first experience with Alternative Shaving Heads, I don't know how long they will stay sharp so I can't comment on that. I believe these were shipped from Asia so it took a few extra days to get them. I would recommend these blades.

For the price these work perfect
I have no complaints about these blades. I have been using them for the better part of 8 months now and the price is a lot cheaper and they cut the same as the original. I would purchase these again and again over the brand name. Don't think about it, if you're in the market, these are great. Shipping was a bit slow, but definitely worth it.

Not for underarms:
I would give the heads 5 stars but I can't due to them knicking my underarms. They didn't knick my legs but they did knick my underarms and it stung.

Buy the right ones from the original manufacturer
These fit into my razor and were functional, however, they performed worse than the two -year-old blades that I replaced. I gave them a fair chance, used them for over a month, but they tugged and pulled rather than cutting. I finally gave up and went back to the old blades which, even with hundreds of more hours on them, still cut better than these. There's no point in trying to send them back considering the seller is overseas so they were thrown out. Bottom line, dont scrimp on blades, poney up for the real ones.

Razor Burnard
It works great at first, especially for the price. But the razor burn is real.
