Philips OneBlade: Comprehensive Review |
Product Specs |
PricingThe prices of the electric razors we tested for our Philips OneBlade review ranged from $35 to $70. The more expensive electric razors featured expensive foil heads. Some trimmers we examined had length combs to provide users with precise cutting lengths. All the trimmers came with charging cables, and some manufacturers offer charging and cleaning cradles as an additional purchase. |

Philips Oneblade – Comprehensive Review Philips Norelco OneBlade Hybrid Electric Trimmer and Shaver,...
OneBlade Ease of Use Our Philips OneBlade review found the device to be very lightweight, nimble, and effective at trimming facial hair. The trimmer can be safely drawn across the face in any direction and the protection guards prevent cuts and nicks. Note that this blade rides slightly above the skin and does not provide a close shave. The trimmer is very comfortable and prevents irritation by not cutting at skin level. OneBlade Setup Time Our Philips OneBlade review found that the 45 minute run time on a full charge was sufficient for all of our needs with this device. Replacing the cutting head is easy and efficient and ensures you always have a very sharp trimmer. The combs snap on efficiently, and the unit is easy to charge. Everything about this device is quick and effective. OneBlade Design Quality The body is structurally strong and will hold up to a few shoulder height drops without nicking or cracking the surface. The blade has a pivoting head that conforms to the contours of your face. The cutting edge is elevated above your skin to prevent cuts and abrasions. This trimmer provides a perfect prep for passing over your face with a razor for a clean, close shave. The ribbed handle provides a secure, no-slip surface. OneBlade Warranty The Philips OneBlade comes with a full two-year warranty.

The user must also periodically oil the blades to ensure smooth operation. The stainless steel handle can feel slippery. BeardTrimmer Setup Time Our The Wahl offers a variety of cutting heads. These heads allow you to do very detailed trimming, but changing the heads also lengthens your operation time. The Wahl is convenient to recharge.
