It's definitely better than those battery powered cartridge razors. The electric shaver will get a bit closer. However for that quick weekend shave or stubble look (or, got out of bed after 3pm and don't won't to look like it), this is the best. It's quickly cuts any hair that gets in its way without any razor burn or blood letting. Don't get me wrong, It'll cut close enough to look clean-cut in the mirror just not to the touch.
I use my One Blade for my face and my head. As a bald shaving male, I have found the One Blade to meet all my needs...compact, smooth, accurate, and efficient. I use it dry, with water, and with shaving cream or gel. Best razor I've ever owned and I've tried plenty. Never thought an electric razor would get my shave as close as a blade
I absolutely love this razor. It is so easy to use and does an amazing job of shaving. Blades are great and will go through the thickest of hair. Battery is amazing as well, can easily shave without a loss of power. Only thing I wish it came with was a small case to store the shaver, blades and power cord. I would recommend this all day, everyday!!!
I've owned a couple of Phillips products before including an electric shaver with trimming comb and a general facial/body trimmer. This is probably the best Phillips product I've purchased thus-far.
Pros: great for styling, great for trimming, use on body as well as face, water resistant
