performance, for a fraction

In general when we talk about high performance parts we talk about the shaver foil and the cutting block. Both parts work together and are subject to wear out. Braun always recommends changing both foil and cutter block to get back 100% performance. The only exception would be in rare cases when you want to exchange just your foil because it has been broken or damaged. Some of our new shaver lines already have cassettes, where the foil and cutter block are integrated into one piece. This ensures that both parts always work perfectly together.

Please have a look in the high performance part finder above. Select your shaver by recognizing it from the picture or its name and then click on it to see the corresponding high performance part. In case this doesn’t work because of a slower internet connection, please click on the overview or download the high performance parts model finder as a pdf. If you can’t find your shaver it might be because we only show the most popular ones from the last years. You can still go to our Braun service website where you can find model numbers for older shavers.

These are precision parts that, in time, are subject to wear. This wear is dependent on your shaving method and beard type. The foils should be inspected visually for nicks, dents and wear patterns before each use. The cutter blocks are not self sharpening and will wear out over time. To maintain optimal shaving performance you should replace these parts when worn. Generally, with good cleaning habits and an average shaving frequency, Braun recommends changing foil and cutter block every 18 months.

While some models fit more than one shaver, some are technically different. Therefore we do not recommend interchanging them. Doing so may create internal damage to your shaver.

Certain shavers have benefited from improvements in the high performance parts during the lifetime of a model. For example, the Series 7 shaver now uses OptiFoil™, our most advanced foil, whilst previous models used Smart Foil™. Rest assured, we only offer a high performance parts model where the compatibility is guaranteed, meaning you can safely buy it and in these specific cases get back even MORE than 100% of your shaver’s performance!
