NOT a Whole Razor Head; Only Blades with Bracket
I got this because my razor head blade holder was not working right (there was some vibration on the bottom shaft, decreasing the shaver's effectiveness). I was already bummed out because I thought that I was going to have to spend $65-$75 per year just to replace my razor blade head (since they barely last that long), but when I saw that only the blades with the bracket is included (not the blade holder), I immediately got my return slip. Replacing the blades is not going to fix the blade holder's vibration problem. I will just use my razor as is, and replace the razor when it stops shaving altogether. I am absolutely NOT going to spend $70 per year for half a replacement razor head (I don't care what Philips says, that is not a full replacement head).
The product page also does not help. They should have CLEARLY specified that the razor blade head is only the blades and bracket, not including the blade holder. Yes, after looking back at the page, I do see that they VAGUELY mention the blades and the holder as two different parts, but even then, I was not seeing anything that specifically mentions to a new buyer (like me) that the holder is a separate part.
If it is only the blades and bracket your looking for, then go for this. If your blade holder on your razor is damaged, either tough it out or get a new razor altogether because I cannot find a replacement bracket holder anywhere.
Forgive me, as this is my first electric razor, and it is foolish of me to think that a company would spend no more than $4-$6 on their end to include a razor blade holder along with the blades and bracket. How stupid of me to think that! I guess the joke's on me!
*In the pictures provided, I used my current, old razor blade head to show what I was expecting to get versus what I actually got.
