buying replacement blades for head shaver that fit my current model

To find the correct replacement blades for your head shaver, you will need to identify the shaver's brand and model number. In most cases, blades are not universally interchangeable between different brands or even different series within the same brand.

How to identify your head shaver's model

The model number is the most important piece of information for ensuring a compatible replacement part. It is usually found in one of these locations:

  • On the back of the device's handle. For brands like Philips Norelco, the model number can often be found on the back of the device, sometimes beneath the pop-out trimmer attachment.
  • On the bottom of the unit. Some shavers have the model or a "Type" number located on the base.
  • Under the shaving head. On certain models, the number is printed on the triangular frame after you remove the head assembly.
  • On the original packaging or in the user manual. If you still have the box or manual, the model number will be clearly listed there.

Where to buy replacement blades

Once you know your shaver's model, you can purchase the correct replacement blades from several sources.
