What are the signs that indicate it's time to replace a Braun 73S shaver head?

Like many Braun shaving accessories, a shaver head will last for a long time before it starts to show signs of normal usage wear. Typically, you will notice that a Braun 73S replacement head is needed when your current Series 7 head no longer offers the same smooth results that it once did. For example, you might find that you need to go over the same patch of skin a couple of times to remove all of the hairs on it rather than them all being shaved off in one go. There again, it might be that your current shaver head starts to feel rougher than it once did when shaving. You could even find that a Series 7 shaver head that is beyond its best leaves some stubble behind. Under all such circumstances, fitting a Braun 73S replacement head would be advisable.

Can I recycle an old Braun 73S replacement head?

Braun service centres and certain retailers will allow you to hand in Braun electrical products for later recycling and reprocessing of the metallic elements. This includes Braun replacement heads in many cases but check locally. Don't put an old Braun shaver head replacement into household waste if you aren't sure where to take it. Locally recycling centres will accept this and other metallic objects in most cases.

Is there a warranty or guarantee for the Braun Series 7 replacement head 73S?

Yes, all Braun products, including the Braun Series 7 replacement head, are covered by our standard warranty to offer you complete peace of mind. The warranty covers any faults or problems you may encounter but it won't cover you for normal wear and tear. Over time, all foil razor heads, like the Braun 73S, wear down and this is to be expected through normal shaving.

What is the expected lifespan of a replacement Braun 73S shaver head for the Braun Series 7?

We recommend changing a Braun Series 7 replacement head 73S every year and a half because this will mean that it has cut millions of hairs during its operational life. However, the coarseness and density of facial hair differ from one individual to the next, so this expected lifespan is only a guide. If you look after your electric shaver and any of the Braun Series 7 accessories that go with it, then you may find your head lasts for longer.

How do I know when it's time to replace my Braun 73S shaver head?

If your current Braun 73S has been in use for 18 months or more, then it is time to start thinking about replacing it. Of course, if you only use your Braun Series 7 electric shaver sparingly, then its shaving head may still continue to produce great results. However, with normal usage, you can expect its sharpness to fall away after it has cut about six million beard and moustache hairs. If the head looks dull or doesn't operate as well as it used to, then now is the time to invest in a new Braun 73S replacement head for your shaver.
