I have a Remington shaver. Looking for new blades for the PR1235. Costs
64 cents less to buy a new shaver on amazon than to purchase just the
blades. No wonder we have a landfill problem.

Cheap 21 dollar plug in norelco. $18.00 heads. Go figure...


I used Norelco for near 60 years. The last 2 did not cut well. Maybe
if you have real fine hair or something.

I agree with that. The old Norelco's worked well. The new ones not so well. The one I have now has a light that comes on to tell you it needs new heads. That was a few months ago. Don't notice any difference. Still using the old heads. Not near as good a shave as the old ones.

I think the cutters are screened so no skin is caught, but prevents lots of
hairs going in the cutters. The Remington looks like an old style Norelco
head.
