Model coverage

6 manufacturer models and source entries. The US SH70/52 page displays S7889/91. The GB SH70/70 page displays S7886/78, S7887/78 and S7783/35R1 in its compatible-products list, but its technical fit specification names legacy S79xx and RQ10xx/RQ12xx. This is a source conflict, not approved fit. The separate GB S7970/26 relation is derived only from the explicit legacy S79xx rule and current manufacturer device identity. SH71 successor wording does not remove the US RQ12xx/RQ10xx exclusion. No US SH70/70 pack equivalence is inferred.

Philips SH70: check the handle before using SH71

Sources checked

Philips marks SH70/52 discontinued and directs Series 7000 users to SH71. Its current SH71/52 page also describes the refreshed SH70/70 reference. SH71 is a different replacement product, so retain the complete code when comparing offers.

That successor instruction must not be carried over to SensoTouch RQ12xx or Arcitec RQ10xx. Philips explicitly excludes those handles from SH71 on the RQ12/72 specifications, even though their old complete unit was also replaced by an SH70 reference.

Loose cutters and complete shaving units

Determine whether you need cutters within the retained holder or a complete replacement shaving unit. Open the SH71 guide for its current handle list and pack contents. For an RQ12xx or RQ10xx handle, use the separate RQ12 guide and its discontinued-unit outcome.

SH70/70: the source lists disagree

The UK SH70/70 page lists S7886/78, S7887/78 and S7783/35R1 as compatible products, while its technical fit specification names legacy S79xx and RQ10xx/RQ12xx. These are different generations; the page does not resolve that discrepancy.

The S7970/26 row is a GB family-rule derivation from the explicit S79xx specification and the manufacturer device identity. Confirm the full shaving unit with Philips before choosing a replacement; the displayed S78xx list does not establish fit.

Additional exact references and regional packs

These Philips codes are kept separately so that a regional pack, component, colour or quantity is not silently substituted for another reference. A model listed for one reference does not establish fit for every reference shown here.

Source note for SH70/50: French manufacturer page also explicitly states SH70 is replaced by SH71; retain market-specific supersession.

Source note for SH70/53: The exact regional manufacturer code and stated component were observed in the cached primary product context. The current origin revision and complete device-fit scope are not established.

Manufacturer source details for existing references

SH70/52: SH70/52 is a three-head pack. SH70/70 and SH70/72 are separately documented shaving-unit references; do not infer identical contents from the SH70 family name.

SH70/70: SH70/70 is described as a shaving unit with a two-step replacement format, while SH70/52 is a three-head pack. Confirm the supplied assembly. A general SH71 successor message does not clear the RQ10xx/RQ12xx exclusion.

A manufacturer may confirm a part number without confirming that it fits your exact shaver. Use the model list and market restrictions above for that decision. Retailer listings describe what is sold; they do not replace manufacturer fit evidence. Dates below identify the recorded source reading or earlier snapshot, not a new test of the product. An unknown date remains unknown.
