Exactly what I wanted

I was looking for something that I could buzz my hair off with and this out performed what I expected. I got a really close shave. Actually closer than the other electric shaver I was using. It is very easy to use and it caused absolutely no irritation. I was excited to use it and waited the whole 8 hours for it to be charged and I was not let down. Now I look forward to shaving the next time.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great shaver, Excellent Battery-Life, Very Expensive Replacement Blades

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am a straight edge shaver and usually hate most alternatives but the OneBlade is seriously impressive. It works both dry or wet and I love the fact that I can lather up or bring it up to against skin dry. It cuts through thick hairs like a champ and can clear away the fine ones just as easily. The shave is close for an electric razor but it's not as close as using a traditional blade in my experience. It comes with 3 trimming guards that's easy to attach. I've used it for a good 3 weeks now (every other day) and I've yet to have to charge this thing. Battery-life appears to be great. The only real knock I have on this product is the price of the replacement blades, they're really expensive. Other than that this is one good versatile shaver.
I received this product complimentary but this review is based solely on my experience with the product
Pros: easy and safe to use, great battery-life, lightweight, wet and dry use, versatile
Cons: shave is not as close, replacement blades are very expenssive
I think this product works very well and gives a close shave for an electric razor. One downside I feel is I think it should of had a battery life indicator. Either a digital percent on the device or four lights (green for fully charged to yellow, orange, then red for needing a charge).
Pros: cuts well, easy to use, can use both top and bottom of the blade
I am a mostly bald headed, head shaver. I have some fuzz on top and relatively normal hair around the sides of my head. I occasionally don't feel like shaving for a week or two and this razor is great because when I do that I no longer have to pull out the bulky hair trimmers to get my head hair down to a manageable level, in fact this product cuts close enough I can go a couple days after using this product without shaving, which reduces irritation. I took one star from Performance because this product struggles with the fine fuzz on top of my head, particularly when using it wet. I took another star because the little part in the head that spins to make the cutting head cut can get pretty clogged up even with a single pass on the sides (even when hair is not very long). Those two starts from performance made the overall rating 4 but I really do like/borderline love this product!
Pros: size convenience
Cons: heads get clogged up easily (see full review), struggles with fine hairs
I've been looking at the One Blade for a while. And finally got one a month ago. The first time I used It, I was trimming my three inch long beard for an up coming interview. Trimming attachments were easy to use. And the One Blade handled trimming the beard easily. After trimming, I didn't like the look, so I decided to shave. I used shaving cream. The One Blade didn't shave very close. But, to be fair, I have yet to have any luck with any electric razor shaving me as close as I like. Over all, the One Blade looks good. Is comfortable to hold and use. And works well for trimming also. If I have any complaints about the One Blade its how quickly the blade wears out. I've used it three times now. And it's already indicating, based on the suggested wear coloring, that it's time to replace the blade.
Pros: looks good., well designed., easy to use .
Cons: blades wear/dull quickly
I would recommend this to a friend!

Nice product

After a 1-2 week learning curve I was finally able to get the shave I was hoping for. Shave talc helped me achieve this. Got closer shave than my rotary shavers.
Great design and fit. Received as a gift, found out how much the replacement blades were, kind of shocked. Hope there is deals online

Replaced my electric razor

This razor surpassed my expectations. I’m still pretty surprised. I wanted this for my birthday and asked for it, then got it from my parents, and figured it would be nice to use for a quick shave instead of charging up my big electric razor, rinsing the small blades, washing it all, putting it back up, charging it again, etc. Nope - this thing shaves great and is done in over half the time a normal (and much more expensive) electric razor costed me.
This has replaced my bulky, expensive electric razor and I plan on using this from now on, hands down.
