Philishave heads.
Excellent genuine product. But five weeks to deliver from Bundall to Coomera, not Good Guys!

At a glance
The Philips SH50/51 is a set of three replacement shaving heads made to refresh compatible Philips rotary shavers in the Series 5000, Series 6000 and AquaTouch ranges. It suits regular shaver users who want to maintain a close, comfortable shave without replacing the whole unit. Its main strengths are easy fitment and proven cutting performance, but it only fits selected rounded-head models.

Things to consider
These replacement heads are made for specific Philips rounded-head shavers, so they are less flexible than universal alternatives and do not add newer blade technologies found in higher-end replacement ranges.
Sensitive skin suitability
7/10 - designed for a close and comfortable shave, though very sensitive skin users may prefer gentler premium blade systems.
Travel friendliness
8/10 - compact replacement set that is easy to store or pack, but best suited for planned maintenance rather than on-the-go shaving itself.
Wet/dry use versatility
Depends on your compatible shaver handle - these are replacement heads, so wet or dry capability is determined by the shaver body, not the heads alone.
Ease of cleaning rating
7/10 - straightforward to remove and replace, with cleaning ease largely dependent on the shaver model they are installed in.
Noise level vs category average
About average for rotary shaver heads - replacement heads should maintain normal operating sound rather than significantly reduce it.
Key benefits
- MultiPrecision Blades: Helps catch and cut long hairs and short stubble in fewer strokes for a quicker daily shave.
- Super Lift and Cut Action: Lifts flatter-lying hairs before cutting to support a smoother finishing result.
- Three Replacement Heads in Pack: Gives you the complete set needed to refresh your compatible rotary shaver at once.
- Compatibility with Series 5000 and 6000 Rounded Shape: Designed to restore intended fit and shaving performance on supported Philips models.
- AquaTouch Compatibility: A practical replacement option for users keeping select AquaTouch shavers working properly.
- Simple Head Replacement Process: Can be swapped by opening the shaver, removing retaining rings and fitting the new heads without specialised tools.
- Performance Refresh Cycle: Philips recommends replacing the heads every 2 years to bring the shaver back toward full cutting performance.
- Rotary Head Design: Supports the close, contour-following shave Philips rotary users already know from their existing handle.
Q: How do I check if SH50/51 fits my Philips shaver?
A: Check the back of the shaver handle before buying. SH50/51 suits Philips Series 5000 and 6000 shavers with the rounded head design, plus selected AquaTouch models. It is not a universal Philips replacement head.
Q: Will SH50/51 fit newer angular Series 5000 shavers?
A: No. SH50/51 is for the rounded-head Series 5000 and Series 6000 design. Philips lists SH71 for Series 5000 models with the newer angular shape, so the head shape on the shaver body matters before ordering.
Q: Do I replace all three shaving heads at once?
A: Yes. SH50/51 includes three shaving heads, so it is intended as a full set replacement rather than a single-head top-up. Replacing the whole set keeps the matching heads on the shaver aligned in wear and cutting performance.
Q: How often should Philips SH50/51 shaving heads be changed?
A: Philips recommends replacing SH50/51 shaving heads every 2 years. That interval is the brand’s maintenance guide for restoring the shaver’s cutting performance, rather than a sign these heads fit every Philips shaver in the range.
Q: Is fitting SH50/51 a simple swap or a full head assembly?
A: SH50/51 is a head-only replacement, not a complete shaver. The swap uses the existing shaver frame and retaining rings, with the new heads inserted into the holder and locked in place, so compatibility with the correct handle is essential.
