Norelco HQ4 electric shaver heads.

I hate to give anything the deep six if it is still working. So instead of dumping my trusty 4825XL I splurged on a new set of Norelco HQ4 replacement heads. In less than five minutes I was in business. I was quite surprise to find that the old heads which even though recommended to change every year was so dull after eight years.

to get a decent shave.

the HQ55's, citing the packing slip's description of "HQ4 no longer available, upgrade to...Read more

It never occurred to me until recently that the famous floating shaver heads for a Norelco electric razor could be replaced. I was about to throw my trusty old Norelco in the trash because it had become useless. Now, after replacing the heads (including the blades), it works good as new.
