The Norelco OneBlade is a surprisingly great alternative to traditional trimmers. As someone with sensitive skin the OneBlade works great as both a beard trimmer and shaver.
The flat part of the blade does not cut too close to the skin leaving a very, very short stubble protrusion. For me this is a bonus as I was having a lot of trouble with ingrown hairs from too close shaving. Now I can get a clean neckline under my beard without this problem. Cleans off the cheeklines nicely too.
The side cutters and hair length adapters work very well. I only use the #5 and with gentle pressure, I'm able to trim and shape the main beard very easily. Also good on the eyebrows.
Main criticism is there should be an optional side cutter blade that allows you to trim the hair on the mustache line around the top lip. The standard cutter is too long and requires some dexterity in attempting this maneuver. One slip and you're done - you will cut a chunk of hair out!
The charger works very well and the run time appears to be very good too. Cleaning is a snap either by blowing, rinsing or both. Make sure that you work over a basin as this shaver has no hair collection system at all.
Altogether a well made and very useful addition to my shaving tool workshop that gets constant use.
I'm extremely please with this hybrid razor, from it's shaving capabilities and it's lasting power after charging.
Pros: it price
I would recommend this to a friend!

Just what I needed

I recently switched from a long goatee to a short stubble beard but did not have a device that worked well until the OneBlade came along. I use the 3 mm comb attachment for my full face stubble beard and shave it 1-2 times each week. I shave my neck with just the blade and it get close enough that I no longer need a razor or shaving gel.
Pros: combs trim evenly with minimal repeat strokes, shaves wet or dry without irritation, easy to handle
I basically hate shaving. I've tried other electric razors and this is the most common sense electric razor I've ever used. It is quick and convenient. It gives me a comfortable shave with no abrasions ever. It works any where, even in the car if I'm in a hurry. Great product.
