Thanks!

Answer 1

You should be able to get a replacement head but it should last a long time.  If you see a replacement head on the shelf you might want to go ahead and get one because it might not be stocked retail in two years!

   The following accessories are available:

   HQ4 Ç Philips shaving heads.

   HQ100 Philips Shaving Head Cleaner (not available

   in China).

   HQ101 Philips Shaving Head Cleaning fluid (not

   available in China).

   HQ110 Philips Shaving Head Cleaning Spray (not

   available in China).

Answer 2

electric shaver blades are designed to be self sharpening. but like all mechanical things, they wear out eventually. one to two years is about the normal life for a philips rotary head. they are easily replaced by the user, and philips is especially good about having replacement blade units available at the retailers.

Answer 3

Of course they can be replaced, no matter what brand you buy.
