Not worth the money!

This blade does not work as advertised. It struggled to shave two days worth of hair growth and doesn't trim very well. Also, tried using it wet, which made it worse. Save your money and buy another razor.
Pros: rechargeable
Cons: clogs easily, doesn't trim well., expensive replacement blades
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Highly evolved razor, and may get even better

All users must have different experiences with this. As for me, it's great with just a little room for improvement. I combines the best parts of straight blade razors AND electrics! I don't want to shave every day, and I sometimes resort to a mustache and goatee to help distract from my day's stubble. But I found that the OneBlade is Fine for trimming them, but also shaves close to the skin! Easy to aim and Trim with, than a disposable razor & about as smooth a shave as with any normal electric razor. One area for possible improvement might be instructions on how to remove whisker clippings from the blades. It worked great for removing my mustache & goatee. But now, shaving only once or twice a week means there's A LOT of whisker clippings when I shave my whole face. All those clippings seem to clog up the blade's teeth a little - & it then seems not to shave as close or evenly. However, it does work better after I rinse, or brush, or blow by mouth - all of those clippings from the blades.
As for the rechargeable power, so far it's given me a lot of shaves per charge. I do wish the plastic box was better designed to open and close for storing the shaver. The box is clean and secure, a safe storage place, but it is very hard to close up after replacing the razor back inside. I'm sure most users just toss the box, and just find a convenient place to store their razor... I'm not good at that :-(

Pros: close shave and easy to steer
Cons: a cleaning brush and reusable box would be nice

Easy to Use, Inexpensive, Not the Closet Shave, Expensive Replacement blades

This electric razor is inexpensive and easy to use. The hand feel is nice and recharging is easy.
From a shaving perspective, I find that the razor doesn't shave as close as my other electric razor. The caveat is that my other electric razor takes an excessive amount of time to shave, while the oneblade is a fast shave. Also, I have replaced the razors, but the replacement blades are expensive (compared to disposable).
I am a bald man, so my shaving real-estate is rather large. My shaving frequency is not daily. Regardless, I am starting to feel the blade dulling and I am at about a 3x's a week schedule. I have found that I periodically go back to my other (Norelco) electric razor or my razors.
Pros: inexpensive, easy to use, good hand feel, easy recharging
Cons: not the closest shave, expensive replacement blades, longevity of blades
I would recommend this to a friend!

This electric shaver/trimmer does NOT do what it's advertised to do. Even with brand new blade, the shave is not close at all. Trimming might as well not be part of its features.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Good idea, bad follow through

I was excited to try this product, purchased it and for the first couple weeks it does alright. Once the blade gets dull its a bear to deal with and with the cost of the blades I find changing them very painful in the wallet. Most people will use this in one direction or in other terms just one side of the blade, even though both cut. So the fact that you can't simply turn the blade around and use the sharper side for a little while is very frustrating....and expensive.
Pros: small, cuts nice when fresh
Cons: extremely expensive blades
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I have dark facial hair, and I use this instead of a razor daily. With a razor, I would often cut myself, especially on a mole I have. The OneBlade never nicks or cuts my skin, and it is less irritating than a razor. I did get acne on my chin during weeks two and three of use, but I haven't had any breakouts since. I've found that using the OneBlade is more convenient than a razor, too. There is no need for shaving cream or gel, unless you don't want to use it dry. And it only needs a 15-second rinse under warm, running water to clean it. I am very happy with this purchase.
Pros: non-irritating, easy to use, gentle on skin
I would recommend this to a friend!
