Phillips Oneblade is a revolutionary product that transforms the mundane task of shaving into a intuitive masterpiece. The ease of design coupled with the razor sharp blades makes for an effortless and precise shave.
I love this shaver/razor! It's perfect for my sensitive skin, effective, and versatile. The OneBlade is closer to a shaver in function, but the design is similar to a razor in profile. It's incredibly easy to use, and gets the job done quick. The best part is that it gives you a close shave(if you want) with no razor burn.
If you're looking for a new grooming tool, do yourself a favor and buy this.
I have maintained a beard for the past two years and have always used a straight razor for cleaning the neck and defining the beard, then a separate (larger) electric beard trimmer to maintain an even length beard.
I was leary of using the OneBlade, but the more I've used it, the more I've enjoyed it. It gives a close shave without taking the time and hassle of using a straight razor, and does a much better job of keeping an even length beard all around. It doesn't trap as much hair as most razors do when trimming which makes it much quicker to use.
Another pro, this razor overall is much smaller than others I've used in the past. As I travel quite often for work it's very easy to transport in my toiletries bag.
I do use it more often as the shave isn't as close as a straight razor, but it's only a few minutes and hassle-free. You can even use it in the shower.
When I first received OneBlade, I was a little underwhelmed with the packaging. It was a very bland box with not much instruction. As I began to inspect the product, though, and hold it in my hand...it really is an excellent little groomer! It has a great look to it...I usually keep it out in plain view because it does look so cool, and it has been a great talking point with my buddies when they come over and have to use the restroom. Anyway, back to OneBlade...it works very well. At first glance, it's pretty intimidating. It looks like a vibrating straight razor that you're about to take to your face and neck. I was a little worried about bleeds and nicks, so I was pretty cautious at first. By my second use I felt very comfortable and had zero misses. I never once got any cuts or nicks, though, even on my first use. The 3 length attachments were a little difficult to put on and take off at first, but after a couple times you really get the hang of it and figure out how to use them. The lengths are perfect for touch-ups and trimming. I was used to only having a "shaver" before, so I haven't ever really been able to customize my facial hair length before. OneBlade really is the perfect compromise between a shaver and a groomer. It does both very, very well. It says on the box not to expect a baby's bottom-smooth face, but honestly it cuts very close to the face and I didn't need to use a razor for touch-ups at all. My previous shaver could never get the hair in the middle of my neck, just under my chin. I don't think I had trouble with any part of my face with OneBlade. My only two complaints are that when I'm trimming with a length attachment, the little hairs tend to shoot up into my nose and eyes...and around the sink, which my wife doesn't appreciate. My previous shaver did a better job at catching the stubble, but OneBlade doesn't have any built-in stubble catcher. The other is that the wall charger has no indicator of battery charge (nor does the device itself). I'd like to know how close I am to empty so that I don't run out of juice during a shave (which I have once already). These are pretty small gripes, though, and overall I'd rate this groomer/shaver as excellent! I honestly do recommend it to all my buddies, and a couple of them have made the purchase and been happy as well. I hope this review helped! I'm an actual user of OneBlade and purchased it for myself, so no worries about shills who are getting paid to write this review.
Pros: great shaver (very close shave), great trimmer (3 lengths), looks awesome, quiet (compared to my last), waterproof
Cons: no stubble catcher, no battery/charge indicator
I was looking for an "all-in-one" shaver and the OneBlade definitely fit what I was looking for. It does everything I need from trimming my beard, sculpting edges or just a flat out shave. I will say that if I didn't have a beard, this probably wouldn't be the ideal product for me to be a daily shaver because it doesn't shave as close as other electric shavers I have or just a normal razor. The only slight complaint I have is that the clips that come with the OneBlade. The difference in length between the #3 clip and #5 clip was too drastic (for me at least). The #5 is too long for the length of facial hair I like to keep (doesn't trim anything for me) and the #3 is too short (trims too close) so I don't have any in between options.
Overall I do love the OneBlade though, it is something that I was looking for for a long time. Easy to use, great battery life and ergonomic design.
Pros: great for beards, all-in-one design
Cons: variation in clip length, doesn't shave super close
The OneBlade is amazing and has replaced all other shaving tools for me.

- What you liked most about the OneBlade The OneBlade is super easy to use and helps me keep my face looking neat and clean in minutes a day. - What works better than your regular method I now only need a single tool to shave and trim my whole face, instead of 2 or more tools previously. - Whether you would recommend it to others I would highly recommend everyone give the OneBlade a try!
Easy shaving, close cut, great edging, throw all your other tools away!

I love it. Everything about it. I used to have 3 different tools to get by beard the style I wanted. This replaces them all! It keeps my chord beard to a good length, it edges around my neck and shaves my cheeks where i dont want the hair.
I have yet to cut myself with it, even in sensitive areas like my lips.
it hold a charge for a few shaves. I use it in the shower every day!
A+ all around!
Pros: easy to use, edges your beard, hold a long charge, you can use it in the shower, keeps stubble even lengths 3 different attachemen, hard to cut yourself with it
Cons: only 3 lengths of attachements need a longer one, for close shave needs daily shave, i didnt get it sooner!!
