If you need a close shave and have coarse beard hair the oneblade will not perform to get close enough and even for you to get close to a normal shave, it just takes way longer than if you just shaved with a normal blade. I purchased this product after watching many review videos on YouTube and had high hopes for it. I am extremely disappointed after actually trying it myself.
Product shaves very well but is cheaply made. The plastic prongs holding the blade are very flimsy and bend easily. After three weeks they no longer hold the blade in place. Remember to always keep the cover on the blade when not in use.
Pros: good shave/trim
Cons: poorly made
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I use this dry without shaving cream and it works perfect for me. Even if I go a few days and get a little scruffy this thing works great. I can shave in about 2 minutes with this. It has made life so much easier for me. Cleans up easy by just holding it under running water while it is on.
Pros: clean fast shave, holds a good charge, doesn't scrape the skin when using dry.
Straight out of Package this thing was awesome had no problem going through any length hair blast it right off very happy received as a birthday present
This is the BEST trimmer I've ever used. Once it is fully charged it last a really long time. I can shave for 3 months on one full charge. And I use it 3-4 times a week.
This is a good trimmer. All around very good. If comfort and convenience are very valuable to you then it is worth the steep price. Powerful enough for even very thick hair. Battery is great. Heads are extremely fragile however, such as a single drop.
I was in need of a new shaver and tried the OneBlade after hearing overall positive reviews. First off, I'm confused as to why this is marketed as being able to shave in either direction when the instruction booklet explicitly states that one must shave against the grain for best results. Secondly, the blade itself is simply too small as I had to shave the same area multiple times just to get it okay (did not have a long beard, mainly stubble). However, when I looked in the mirror, the OneBlade had missed many areas of my face and I noticed a huge razor burn on my neck, below the chin. I normally get a bit of a razor burn but nothing like this.
Pros: rechargeable battery
Cons: not a close shave, razor burn
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
