How do I replace the blades in my shaver?

Step 1) Depress the two buttons on the sides of the head and remove, just like you do when you clean the blades. Step 2) Take hold of a blade by the sides (longwise) and pull directly out. They're held on to their posts mostly by tension, so no tools are required. Repeat for the other blade. Step 3) Clean the shaver off so the posts are devoid of all your residual shavings and general buildup. This will ensure the new blades will sit well. Step 4) Put on new blades on their respective posts. Press down to ensure they are seated correctly, but not too hard as (A) they are razor blades, and (B) the retentive posts are made from plastic. Step 5) Snap the guard/head back on and resume your carefree life or convenient shaving. ~M~

I have other norelco shavers the blades fall out especialy when clng. Just reinsert the blades in any order and with usage will settle themselves.

I do not know. Here is what I do know. My husband looked on line about get a replacement shaver as the current one took too long to shave. That is when he learned that the shaver head is to be replaced every year or so. He went with the model of the shaver (not sure what it is) and then aligned it with the replacement blades. Sorry I could not be more specific.

Not sure about replacement parts except for the rotary cutting blades, found them on the web but were costly, just decided to buy an entire new razor. Hope this helps.

We service/replace during the first three months. We now advise for people to use a different cleaning procedure. Removing the blades may be necessary for some people to thoroughly clean the inside, however we learned its better to primarily clean the shaver head by removing it from the shaver to run warm water over the blades and then let it dry. This will wash the hair out without having to remove blades.

The quick answer is "easily."Remove the old blade, line up the star pattern on the blade with the spline, and reinstall. Be sure to install with the "fingers" on the blade facing up! ☺

you need to go to the norelco website to be certain of what fits your model. in my case, the replacement heads did fit cut outs in the head of my reflex unit, but they did not sit in as perfectly as the originals. i took the new blades and put them into the old screens to get the best shave.

I have replaced the foil and cutter at the recommended intervals using products from Amazon. They are much cheaper than what is locally available, and the razor shaves like new again with them.

David, I got replacement blades for my Norelco shaver through Amazon. The blades I received were no better than the ones I wanted changed. So it is up to you.

I used the blades that came with the unit. I haven't bought any other blades for it. When I need new blades, I will go to Home Depot with the unit and get what I need there.

I don't know why they don't make replacement blades-except they're greedy and want you to buy a new shaver when the blade gets dull. UGH!

It looks like you need an HQ56. They have replaced many of their replacement head models and quite a few are now compatible with many more shavers. If you just type in HQ56 replacement head, you should have quite a few choices come up. Don't be fooled by the pictures, most are just the 3 individule pieces and not the whole piece they show with the round pieces in them. You have to replace the 3 round shaver pieces yourself, but it's really easy. Good luck.

I don't know, but if you go to the phillips Norelco website it will tell you which set of blades will fit your razor. That is where I went to confirm. It is also normally listed in.on the razor body.

Actually, I found out they do sell replacement blades: Clio Designs Refill Blades for all Clio 3800 Series Shavers:

Remove the shaver head and then remove the 4 corner blades and the center blade. Wash everything, let it dry and put it back together. I usually brush it and then wash it. Just be careful that you have the parts aligned properly when you snap it back together. It is a bit of a pain so I don't necessarily do it with every use but if you don't do this the hair is accumulating inside the unit.

Yes it is very easy. This razor is a 3 piece razor. You merely unscrew the handle from the head to replace blades. It takes less than a minute. Make sure you dispose of your used blades properly because they are sharp.
