SH71/50 Shaving Heads compatible with Philips Shavers Series 7000 (S7XXX) and Series 5000 (S55XX), replaces RQ12/70, RQ12/60, SH60/70, and SH70/70

Great quality & value for money - bought these to replace the heads in my old Philips shaver and it made it feel like a new razor - very comfortable to shave with and easy to change the heads over - Easy to use and very please with this purchase - Easy to clean the head intermittently and the old heads lasted a long time and I’m sure these will too

The blades on my Series 1000 were well worn and I was considering buying a new shaver until i saw these genuine Philips quality replacements. Fitted really easily and shaver restored to as good as new condition. Nice quick clean smooth shave and saved some money not buying new shaver.

I prefer to buy Philips rather than third party products. This set of blades and covers is quieter than my previous sets, there is much less rubbing. A better fit inside. They also have little guides attached to stop them spinning in the plastic razor holder. My previous third party ones did not have this. I have numbered each of the cases and blades. Inevitably, they will fall out during cleaning and they need to be matched correctly otherwise they will rub and scrape in the wrong configuration. Careful of this folks.

I'm plagiarising another's review here but these are an upgrade (despite the fact that they do not mention it here being suitable fit) on the blades of an S7000 shaver. As you can clearly see in the photos, the blades in the bottom part of the photo are doubled up, they are the SH91 blades, the others are the original blades for my S7000. I was alerted to this by another gentleman leaving a review hereabouts for the S7000 ( I did too but will have to find it). He had put the blades in from the off, presumably because it was cheaper to buy the S7000 and these blades. As you can see, the two rows have corresponding holes/slits to cut hairs, so in theory you have double the cutting ability. However, I couldn't fully attest to them being much better, but for the £5 more that they cost over the S7000 replacement heads, I'd say they're good quality being Philips, giving a speedier cut in theory. Ease of installing them-very easy, very fast, maybe less than a minute. I should say, any brand new razor of any type is going to have good reviews of them, read between the lines, and maybe updated reviews to see what they're really like over time.

These are genuine replacement heads and having been fitted to my series 3000 shaver, the closeness of the shave is much improved from the knockoff copy heads I mistakenly bought previously.

Just what was needed. Work well.

wanted the genuine heads, good price.

It appears these shaving heads only fit older models of series 5000 shavers. Current Philips pages say they fit series 5000 excluding S55xx (and some older models like AquaTouch and PowerTouch - see Philips site for details). However, I suspect even that is incomplete information since they don't fit my S5885 shaver. I would guess that they don't work with any series 5000 shavers with higher numbers than 5500 i.e. not with S56xx, S57xx, S58xx, S59xx either. The reason I have given 3 stars rather than 1 or 2 stars, by the way, is that I had these blades knocking about already due to buying them as replacement heads for an AquaTouch or PowerTouch shaver originally (can't remember the precise model since it broke down and has been replaced with two successive Philips shaver since). Anyway, the blades did work well with that shaver and were better than a previous failed attempt to use third-party non-Philips replacement heads to save money. (It broke down due to another problem and I retained the replacement heads since in theory they still had some life left in them - looks like they have been killed by another mode of planned obsolescence though...)
