I bought this to help me shave the face of my husband with early onset Alzheimer’s. It simply did not work. It was difficult to hold in the angle provided in the directions and the results were patchy at best. Under the nose it cut his skin and left him with a horizontal linear scab for over a week. Going against the grain of the hair as directed did not provide a close shave and irritated his skin. This razor is expensive but does not live up to the hype. I was hoping to make my life as a caregiver easier. This razor is not the answer. D
Cons: expensive, difficult to hold angle as directed, shave is not close and is patchy
What makes the OneBlade SO Special is it's versatility! It actually seems like you are using a bladed razor. You can shave forward, backward, sideways, anyway you want or need! There is very little, if any, razor bumps or burn. Trust me, I know. I have incredibly sensitive skin! You can use this razor everyday, every 2-3 days; 10 days, 2 weeks, it doesn't matter. It shaves long or short whiskers, stubble, even grown hair. It's quite amazing!!
Pros: any direction!, no bumps or burn!!, same blade for 2 months plus!, charging it takes seconds-minutes at most!, a bit odd but i can do my ears easily!
This shaver is great ! So easy to clean and operate, wet or dry it shaves clean with no nicks or cuts. I grew my beard for 3 months, it grew thick and tough, I got tired of the beard eventually and decided to cut it off with my One Blade, No problems at all, it zipped right through with one or two passes and gave me a clean shave. I show friends and family how nice this shaver works and bought another for my Son.
I originally bought this razor for husband who has a full beard and wanted something compact that would make shaping easy.
Fast forward to date night a week after we bought and I realized I’m out of blades for my razor so hubby hands me his with a wink telling he wants me smooth.
Sure enough best shave I’ve gotten around the bikini area without an kind of razor burn or nick! I’ve thrown out all my razors and bought a second one of thes for my own use and hubby isn’t never disappointed with the results.
Only thing that could make this better is if it came in another color so I know which is mine and which is his easily... Purple or Turquoise is a great idea by the way
I've bought many trimmers from Remington, braun, and internet off-brands but haven't found one that shaves and trims my facial hair better. The small compact 2-sided blade makes shaping my moustache and beard lines a breeze. And on the rare occasion that I want to reset my beard to less than zero, it's a quick easy shave. Works great with my favorite shave lotion too. I'll keep using it until it dies.
Pros: dual sided shaver, trims moustache easily
Cons: blade life is not great, blade replacement expensive
I have really enjoyed this razor. Since I have a beard, I don't shave daily, but this works much better than my regular electric razor for trimming/shaping around my beard.
