I'm a woman and acaregiver for a man and have been for over7 years I have been buying all types of products for shaving him and this is the best and the most easy and simple product. I love it, this product makes it easy for me so I will continue to use.
I received this product as a gift used it every day since then the battery lasted almost 3 months until I had to charge it I did not have a charger it did not come with one I contacted Phillips on how to purchase one they sent me one for free now granted the one they sent me first time didn't work but they quickly replace it with one that did. I truly experienced great customer service from Phillips and it will always look to the brand first if it is something I'm going to purchase.
I loved how easy it was to use. After only a couple uses, the blade seemed to be dull already. Replacement blades are too expensive for the short life. Unfortunately, it will probably just sit in the drawer.
This product is great for beards wet or dry, like the closeness of the shave. Shaves my head great dry, but was lacking when wet, maybe do to the finer head hair. Would like to see a smaller blade for shaping and maybe nose and ear hair trimming
Pros: easy to use, closeness of shave
Cons: only one size of blades, not sure it's good for scalps
Fills the gap nicely between a traditional wet safety razor and hair clippers. Great on sensitive skin where you don't want to use a razor and with the combs easier to use and more accurate than hair clippers.
First off this is exactly what I wanted in a trimmer. I can cut close to a clean shave like cut, or trim a number of lengths dry or wet. I travel constantly for work and this allows me to not carry razors and cream. Unfortunately I have broken the heads time and time again, even with the little cover attached. You need to include a cheap plastic travel case for the whole unit and guards to eliminate breakage. With the high price of the heads and the frustration of opening my bag to see it inoperable, I am going to have to return to my old ways of razors.
This shaver is ideal for me because I only shave once a week or even two weeks. So, when I leave the house, I have grown quite a beard. During the summer months especially when it is really hot, 100+ degrees, after showering and ridding my body of all oils, I then use the Philips/Norelco OneBlade using long strokes from the bottom of my neck all the way up to the top of my cheek or bottom lip. In one sweep, that one stroke cleanly shaves every hair like mowing grass in a field. There is no going back but I do the next stroke with about a 10 percent overstroke to insure of not missing any part of my throat or face.
It even works well on my upper lips which is definitely a short stroke. After I have finished, if I am not going out, I am left with a very unnoticeable stubbled shave. If I do need a "baby-butt" close shave, then I do a quick wet shave with a razor and gel which takes about two extra minutes and I'm finished. But for the "no one's going to see me or the everyday shave" the OneBlade is all I need for a close shave like what I call a morning "razor and gel" shave at 1500 hours--just beginning to stubble.
Pros: close daily shave, smooth without fear of cutting skin, battery with long life between charges, blades are sharp and long lasting, blades are replaceable and relatively inexpensive
