I bought this razer for my father in law who has Alzheimer's. He was struggling with a traditional razer and cut himself often. I tried a three round blade shaver and it failed miserably. This razer is the closest thing to a traditional razer and does a decent job. You have to go over some spots several times, but he doesn't hurt himself. I love it.
Before finding this product I was always spending money on different brands of razors. These razors would damage my skin & leave razor burn & bumps all over my face. I was forced to try and find the best shaving cream or gel for my face also. After finding this electric razor I am able to shave my face as close to the skin as a straight razor in half the time. This is also less painful & leaves absolutely no bulbs or razor burn on my skin.
If used as a razor the blade wears out much too quickly. It does however work very well for trim ups and body hair. Definitely not good for shaving your head unless you have $$$ for replacement blades.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hi Dan,
Thank you for your feedback. Our OneBlade is not designed to use on top of your head. As you've already discovered yourself, it causes the blade to wear out and turn green prematurely. If you have questions, please reach out to us on Social Media. We’re available 24/7 on Facebook (https://philips.to/fb247) and Twitter (https://philips.to/tw247). Alternatively, you can reach out to us via the contact page on our website (https://philips.to/2XeizXO).
I’m disabled so I shave only once a week if that. By the time I do, the growth is too long for a razor shave. I used to use small clippers followed by a razor shave. With this baby, it’s done in just minutes and so close to a regular shave that I just leave it as is. What a clever invention!!!
I cannot get a good shave with this product. I bought extra blades and they are a little better on the first use but after that not good. I have a very light beard.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The only thing its good for is on the run shaving. The trim takes forever and its never even. If I could i would get my money back.
