The OneBlade was given to me in exchange for an accurate review of the product.
I've used the OneBlade for just over two weeks now. Until I received this I did not know electric razors such as this exist. I have used a number of different electric razors over the years primarily because of convenience but I've never really been completely satisfied with any of them. None of them have done a great job particularly if I haven't shaved for 48 hours or more.
This razor is different. It is configured more like a traditional razor. What makes it really stand out is it really does a very good job of cutting longer hair. Whether I use it 24 hours after my last shave or 7 days after, it works just as well. It cuts shorter than most electric razors I've ever used. Not quite a smooth shave but very close.
I also like that it has a fairly small profile compared to other razors I've used which is nice for traveling and it doesn't take up much space on my bathroom vanity. It is rechargeable which is convenient for short business trips.
One other positive is that it doesn't irritate my skin at all like some razors can. It is very comfortable to use. It never feels like my skin is being pulled at.
The only potential negative I see is that the blade needs to be replaced periodically. I've used it for just over 2 weeks and it still functions great. If it lasts 4 months as their site suggests it will, I can live with that.
Overall, I am very happy this this razor. I have put away my other much more expensive electric razor in favor of this one.
Pros: cuts hair of any length, quick, doesn't irritate skin
Cons: bladdes will need to be replace periodically
This machine is the best shaving product in the world! Philips has outdone everybody out there! Design is perfect for holding and makes you reach every part, even if you have a bony face. Blade is comfortably smooth, and although I have sensitive skin that reacts to any blade, this one didn't leave a scratch or cause redness even on the adam's apple area, which used to be very problematic to me whenever shaving. Fast - I fully shaved in less than 3 minutes, reached all the areas I usually shave but have trouble cleaning. This cleans every spot.
I high recommend Philips Norelco OneBlade. It's going to be my companion for years and years to come. I really do mean that because before this one, I've had Philips Norelco multigroom for over 3 years, and this product is great!
I have very sensitive skin. In fact, when I was in college, I developed keloids (scars that keep growing) on my face. As a result, I had to stop using traditional razors.
For the last 10+ years, I've been using a beard trimmer to shave. Needless to say, I was never able to get a close shave like you can with a traditional razor. Plus, the keloids made it very difficult to make sure all the hair was gone.
I am pleased to say that the One Blade has gone above and beyond what I was expecting. I got the closest shave I've had since college. Not only that, but it was fantastic for my keloids. I found that I could go directly over my keloids, and there was no pain at all. As a result, it took be about have the time to shave as with the trimmer, and like I said, the better results than I ever got from the trimmer.
Really needs a 0.5 comb or setting for that true stubble shave. Between school, studying and working to pay for college I no time or want to shave daily. So 0.5 setting gives me a quick even 2-day buzz. Ladies love it. Returning this to store and will keep searching.
I have really enjoyed using this product. As a regular razor, it shaves close enough to begin the day. Not quite baby smooth but better than the 5 o'clock shadow. The performance is flawless, no lag in power causing pulling of hair like others I have used. The blade edges are straight and cut on both sides which can make it difficult to get in some of the smaller detailed areas around the mouth. Also, the larger the guard the harder it is to get under the nose for trimming. All in all however, this is a great option for probably many styles! I keep a short goat myself and it is the best I have used.
One a side note, I swore off electrics quite a long time ago due to skin sensitivity and razor burn. I have not been able to give myself razor burn with this shaver yet, even when shaving two days in a row which is something I would never get away with using a standard blade!
Pros: compact, lightweight, great for sensitive skin
Phillips Oneblade is a revolutionary product that transforms the mundane task of shaving into a intuitive masterpiece. The ease of design coupled with the razor sharp blades makes for an effortless and precise shave.
I love this shaver/razor! It's perfect for my sensitive skin, effective, and versatile. The OneBlade is closer to a shaver in function, but the design is similar to a razor in profile. It's incredibly easy to use, and gets the job done quick. The best part is that it gives you a close shave(if you want) with no razor burn.
If you're looking for a new grooming tool, do yourself a favor and buy this.
