OneBlade is the best electrical razor if you have / plan to keep beard of any lenght from stubble to full grown beard. it´s size will help you shave at the lightest detail and it will not take too much space in your bathroom either. I also bought the body grooming kit and it makes it even better. just keep in mind that if you have lots of body hair, you should keep this little fellow for some parts and buy a body groomer for the most.
Pros: great size, great design, great for detailing
Cons: doesn´t have battery indicator, doesn´t come with a case
I've used various razors by Philip Norelco for years. When I was in the market for a beard trimming razor, it appeared that this razor would do the trick.
At first, things went smoothly. I loved how close to the skin this razor got without giving me razor burn. Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end. I decided to completely shave my beard. I got to one cheek before it completely DIED. I was furious. Luckily, I had my old razor to help me out. I let it charge overnight and the next morning nothing had changed. This was a week ago. It now will no longer charge at all, no matter the outlet. Threw it in the garbage because I was so let down by this razor. Completely 100% disappointed and a total waste of my money. Had I known this would happen, I would've spent my money on a different razor. As the saying goes: That's the way the cookie crumbles.
I've been using razor for several months.It works as advertised and I've only had one blade change.Gives a close but not irritating shave or close trim.
I hate shaving. I hate shaving cream, I hate the cold/hot water, I hate the pulling of a dull razor, I hate the cutting of a sharp razor, I hate the ingrown hairs I get after a too close shave; ...you get the point.
This razor is none of that. It's quick, easy, no water, no shaving cream, no cuts, no ingrown hairs, and best of all, it's technically shaving so I'm good for work. Not a super close shave which is perfect for me.
I'm only 2 weeks in so my only concern is how long the razor will last, and then how much the refills cost.
Blade break far to easily and long before they wear out. I use this the shorten stubble every 3 to 4 days and have yet to get longer than a month before the rubber blade attachment breaks. Have never seen the blade indicator wear down. Due to price of blades and longevity, buy a more expensive, quality unit. It'll be cheaper in the long run. (actually short)
Cons: terrible blade life., expensive replacements and frequently needed
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

On my first use, the rubber blade attachment broke/separated. Now I have to buy a new blade. Crap in my opinion.
