Braun 8000 Activator Combi-Pack Foil and Cutterblock Replacement Parts for Braun’s Activator Razor Models 8595 and 8585
Braun 8000 Activator Combi-Pack Foil and Cutterblock Replacement Parts for Braun’s Activator Razor Models 8595 and 8585
The manufacturer recommends replacing the foil screen and cutter block every 18 months for maximum performance. I wholeheartedly agree. This cutting system seems to last a little longer than older models but it certainly doesn’t last forever. While it might not be exactly at 18 months, you can readily tell that the blades are getting dull when it takes longer to shave and/or you begin experiencing skin irritation. The set is pretty expensive but Amazon.com seems to have a very competitive price (a lot cheaper than I’ve seen in any brick & mortar store).
Having said that,Braun 8000 Activator Combi-Pack Foil and Cutterblock Replacement Parts really is like getting a brand new razor each time you make the change so it’s very worthwhile doing it. Not sure if you can even buy them separately, but changing both parts at the same time ensures a closer shave with less skin irritation because they work together as an integrated system.

(2) Want to keep you electric shaver investment functioning like new? These replacements are necessary and do work well. You don’t have to change the blades often (18 months) unless you have very heavy facial hair and then I would recommend every 12 months. You’ll know when it takes longer to shave than usual; having to over and over areas that used to come clean in one or two passes.
