Are These the Right Replacement Heads for Your Shaver?
Amazon's product description, as of the writing of this review, says this "Replaces philips norelco hq55 shaver heads." Despite their aversion to the capitalization of proper nouns, I assume they are talking about the Philips Norelco HQ 55 Reflex Replacement Heads, which is what I had been using up until Amazon seemingly stopped carrying them.
I can confirm these replacement heads work with the 6843XL, which is what I use. The box says to replace them every twelve months, but I've been replacing them every six. I find it's better for my skin, and the six-month Subscribe & Save delivery interval lets me roll on autopilot.
So which other razors will these replacement heads fit? I have no idea, but...
The box says they fit: 31DB, 6423, 6613, 6843, 6853, 6863, 6940.
And the box for the Philips Norelco HQ 55 Reflex Replacement Heads -- which Amazon says this product replaces -- indicates they fit the following models: 34--, 36--, 38--, 44--, 46--, 48--, 66--, 69--, 5413, 5426, 5430, 5625, 5812, 5813, 5817, 5820, 5823, 5824, 6405, 6415, 6423, 6424, 6445, 6831, 6842, 6843, 6844, 6849, 6853, 6854, 6855, 6856, 6857, 6859, 6861, 6863, 6868, 6874, 6879. The Amazon description adds: 6940, 6423LC, 6613X, 6843XL, 6853XL, 6863XL.
And finally, the Philips Norelco website says to use these HQ56 replacement heads (or the HQ55 version) with the following "Reflex Plus" shaver models: 6940LC, 6863XL, 6853XL, 6843XL, 6615X, 6614X, 6613X, 6424LC, 6423LC, 5812XL, 5625X, 5426LC, 4885, 4865, 4861, 4853, 4852, 4845, 4825, 4821, 4817, 4816, 4807, 4805, 4625, 4608, 4607,4606, 4605, 4604, 4603, 4602, 4601, 4417, 4414, 4413, 4406, 4404, 4403, 4402, 4401, 3865, 3805, 3801, 3605, 3604, 3601, 3405, 1608, 1606, 1605, 1604, 1602, 1601, 1337C, 1328, 1327, 1323, 1319, 1318, 985, 968, 965, 955, 950, 945, 935, 915, 905, 900, 895, 885, 875, 850, 835, 825, 815, 805, 800, 750, 725, 720, 715, 710, 705, 700, 665, 605, 600, 505, 501, 500, 486, 484, 482, 410, 400, 300, 200.
And finally (for real!), the Philips Norelco websites says these HQ56 heads can also be used for these "Reflex Action" shavers: 5887XL, 5886XL, 5885XL, 5867XL, 5865XL, 5864XL, 5863XL, 5862XL, 5861XL, 5855XL, 5849XL, 5848XL, 5845XL, 5842XL, 5841XL, 5825XL, 5822XL, 5821XL, 5818XL, 5817XL, 5814XL, 5811XL, 5810XL, 5803XL, 5802XL, 5801XL, 5699X, 5606X, 5605X, 5604X, 5603X, 5602X, 5601X. These shavers can also use Philips Norelco HQ5 Shaving Heads, which are still available on Amazon.
So, assuming these are truly a replacement for the Philips Norelco HQ 55 Reflex Replacement Heads, they should fit any of the model numbers listed above!
