If used as a razor the blade wears out much too quickly. It does however work very well for trim ups and body hair. Definitely not good for shaving your head unless you have $$$ for replacement blades.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hi Dan,
Thank you for your feedback. Our OneBlade is not designed to use on top of your head. As you've already discovered yourself, it causes the blade to wear out and turn green prematurely. If you have questions, please reach out to us on Social Media. We’re available 24/7 on Facebook (https://philips.to/fb247) and Twitter (https://philips.to/tw247). Alternatively, you can reach out to us via the contact page on our website (https://philips.to/2XeizXO).
Kind regards, Philips Consumer Care

Just as perfect as the original!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The new Philips OneBlade with rotating head is an amazing razor. Not only is it the perfect full body razor, but it is an adequate replacement for my facial razor. Of course, blades do get worn down. Thankfully Philips has made perfect replacement blades. The Philips - OneBlade QP420/80 Replacement blades work as well if not better than the original blade included with the razor. The replacements rotate just as well as the original and that close facial shave is still possible. If you need replacement blades for your Philips OneBlade with rotating head, the Philips - OneBlade QP420/80 Replacement blades are the best out there.

Great product

Throughout middle school and high school I used a regular cartridge razor and that left my razor irritated and nicked then I switched to a safety razor and that worked for a little bit but it would often leave me face red and burned my face was too sensitive for regular razors and I even tried a foil electric razor to keep getting a clean shave and my face couldn’t even handle that most of the time. But I wish I had switched to the OneBlade way sooner it gives a really close shave for an electric razor and leaves no irritation or cuts or burn no bumps
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great little razor. It's not as close as a blade, but darn near as close. I take blood thinners so no nicks or cuts are a big plus. The trimmer attachment leaves my beard neat and trim. I would recommend this for anyone.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Not effective. Cannot get a close shave. Cuts my skin
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi there,
Thanks for taking the time to share your review regarding the Philips OneBlade. We are sorry to hear that you are not pleased with its performance.
Please follow these steps to get the best results. Clean your skin and place the blade flat on your skin to ensure full contact. Move the blade against the direction of hair growth. Make long strokes while pressing lightly. If desired, you can also use shaving foam or gel and it can also be used in the shower. Kindly note that the Philips OneBlade is designed to trim facial hair and stubble to create a clean look while also leaving your skin feeling comfortable. If you are looking for a close, clean every-day shave, we would recommend one of our dedicated Philips Face Shavers.
We hope this will improve your experience. However, if the issue still persists, please get in touch via social media. We’re available on Facebook (@Philips) and X. Don’t worry, if you don’t use social media, you can also reach out to us via the contact page: www.Philips.com/contact.
Kind regards, Philips Consumer Care

Shaved great, trim is awful

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was super excited to receive this as a gift from my wife yesterday. So excited, that I threw away my other beard trimmer (Remington). I regret that immensely now! The Oneblade does a wonderful job shaving, but’s having the trimming is terrible. My beard was probably 1 inch long, and the oneblade with it’s lengthiest attachment (5) couldn’ttrimming trim it. It took probably 20 long passes through my beard to even trim it at all.
Only negative is that I do not get half the life from my blades that you say I should
Pros: good shave
Cons: blades do not last long

Not worth the money!

This blade does not work as advertised. It struggled to shave two days worth of hair growth and doesn't trim very well. Also, tried using it wet, which made it worse. Save your money and buy another razor.
Pros: rechargeable
Cons: clogs easily, doesn't trim well., expensive replacement blades
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
