I got this about 2 months and I am delighted with it. Closest thing to a wet shave without the hassle. The different trimmer heads work extremely well. I got it half price in a sale for €36 , great value for money!
@@AndFloRo Probably something like the "Manscape" products, but I don't want that either because you have to change those heads out relatively frequently (every three months, $15/blade).
@White Boy After hours of research, I decided to go with the "Philips BG7030/49 Bodygroom Series 7000". It's got two trimming heads, one for your head/beard, one for your junk. Works in the shower, and I already used it to give myself a quarantine haircut. Got it for $60, and it came with a case and a replacement blade. Pretty happy with it.
Just do it with a safety razor and an alum stone for after shave and you’re good. I highly recommend Muehle safety razors and Feather blades (which last a long time). Proraso has great products for the face.
I may not be the target audience here, but as a woman, I love using this razor on my legs SO much. My eczema flares up badly if I shave my thighs with a cartridge razor, but nothing happens when I use the OneBlade which is amazing
you can just burn your hair. I tried that for a while worked fine. just put iso alcohol in spray bottle, spray you face lightly and then light it. The hair burns off . don't breath while doing. now that i keep a beard I don't do it.
Dyson's customer service is atrocious and I'd go to Hell than deal with their customer service. Fuck you for even considering Dyson, you must not own one of their V8 or V10 vacuum cleaners.
I got it because it DOESN"T cut close and thus I didn't get ingrown hairs on my neck. I use mine once every month just to trim the neck hair of my beard.
Is it good? I can't use razors because I get burns, pimples, ingrowns... It's bad, but when you pass your hands after using it, its more to the soft touch or more harsh??
I bought one of these a year, or so ago and love it. I've settled on the number 3 attachment and it keeps my beard trimmed to that length perfectly. It saves me a bundle on Barber Shop visits! As I only trim 2x a week, I've found that the blades easily last for 6 months! 😉👍
@@sameermalik5322 I know friends that go trough razors twice as fast as i do. It's mostly actually the hair growth. In a way every hair blunts a razor. Some men have much more facial hair then i do. You know, there's people with 2 hairs growing out of each pore, that kinda stuff. Long story short: You're hairy :)
Nothing worse as a guy to watch than seeing another guy shave. Seeing someone shave in a direction that would tear my face up just sends shivers down my back.
The one blade works great for me because the hair on my neck grows in several different directions. No nicks or cuts and no rashes since I started using it. No ingrown hairs either.
My grand father was diagnosed with aggressive lung cancer and thrown to terminal care within a week. During the first week he grew a beard which was quite uncommon for him, as he never had one before. Turned out the hospital didn't have oneblades and he didn't want to be shaved with anything else. After getting one for myself I completely get him. Affordable, zero irritation, insanely clean cut... The future is now
When it's good it's good but that's not always the case. I love my OneBlade but there are a few dealbreakers that made me consider a switch. 1. The razors are very fragile, they're only being held together by some felxible plastic thingy which is pretty thin and break if too much pressure is applied (and that's less than you'd think) 2. The razors are SO EXPENSIVE, seriously, it's ridiculous 3. It seems like the bigger comb you attach, the more inconsistent results you get (but that might just be my beard) It's pretty nice for close shaving, but it wasn't as much of a hit for my beard treaming use.
The blade cartridges are a bit fragile, but I used one for an entire year before I replaced it, so you just need to not be rough with it. I have a hard zipper case that I use to store the shaver and cord and blades and other attachments. That helps to keep everything safe and not banged up. The blades really aren't that expensive if you consider that they last months and months. I'm replying to a 4 year old post, so maybe they were pricier back then. But anyway, look at sites like temu for replacement cartridges and see how it goes. Your overall costs can be kept very low if you're smart. And of course, if you use the oneblade, you don't have to spend anything at all on shaving cream or aftershave gel/balm, so there's that too.
@@steventravers3615I’d suggest not using Temu, etc for blade replacements. You certainly wont get an official one and the knockoffs never shave the same. Otherwise, great post.
@@quarterswede Nope, they shave the same as the real thing, and look the same too - can't tell the difference! I don't think it was a difficult item to reverse engineer and duplicate exactly. Anyway, getting some from temu and doing your own tests is such a low cost proposition for anyone, there's just no risk to it. Worth a try if you go through them on the quick side and want to see if it'll save you any cash.
I love the Philips oneblade, it is the only device I've ever used that allows me a close shave without irritation and ingrowns (including safety razors and expensive Braun foil shavers). I use mine to shave every day or two and the blades last me almost two months. That was a solid review video and I agree with everything you said except two observations: 1) There is a difference in the body model vs the regular model, it has a lithium ion battery that holds a longer charge with less charge time. I have that model and even though it's not used for anywhere below the neck, the upgraded battery was worth it to me. 2) That is pretty unusual blade wear you presented there... It should be wearing away more evenly to eventually reveal two green arrows indicating it's time to change it out. Not knocking you, just saying you may want to contact Philips. All in all this is a great device and has really solved a long and frustrating battle with shaving for me. Even if someone doesn't use it as their primary shaving device like I do, it still is a valuable tool.
Thanks for those points and feedback. Interesting, I never saw any arrows. Perhaps it was a defect? I’ll keep monitoring the subsequent blades to see if they eventually show up. Thanks for commenting!
@@6MonthsLater This should help, it's their official explaination of how the wear indicator works: www.usa.philips.com/c-f/XC000014594/when-should-i-replace-the-blades-of-my-philips-oneblade
I bought this razor for my 16 year son. My beard thickness is not so easy for the Philips. I bought a few ago the Panasonic LV 65 with 5 blades and it cuts really close like a razor finish. I can only recommend it.
It really is a fantastic razor! I went to buy a simple trimmer, but ended up getting a Oneblade (for only €20!) and I haven't used my Norelco triple rotary shaver ever since. The Oneblade shaves almost as close as the Norelco with no skin irritation at all, there's no need to use any aftershave to calm the skin. A truly revolutionary device!
One major disadvantage of Philips OneBlade is that it will NOT operate while connected to the power supply, so when the battery is completely drained you are stuck with an unfinished shaving, unless you wait 30 minutes or so for the battery to be charged just enough to finish the job.
Good point, it doesn’t have a charge level indicator so avoiding this situation is gonna take a bit of attention, especially since the charge lasts so long. I’m adding an alert to my phone to put it on the charger once a month
Bought one of these around 5 years ago. Still the only razor I use. My son (14) has also started using it too, which is great as it’s a safe way of learning to shave. Try one - you won’t be disappointed.
Body? As in the actual unit? Yeah, I’ve had mine for a number of years now and it’s still going strong! Seriously, I must have saved a fortune on disposable razors…!
Just don’t make the mistake that I did and try to save money by purchasing random replacement blades from eBay. My grossly overdue to be replaced original blade was ten times better than the fresh cheap imitations. The pull and irritate like mad, feels like dry shaving with a used disposable three blade type razor. So, pretty much horrible and about as awful of a shaving experience as I’ve ever had. Luckily with the genuine blades this thing is a dream to shave with. I’ve had mine for years, purchased it when I got a job that was overly strict about shaving every day. Before the One Blade getting ready each day was torture for my face and neck. Zero issues once switching to the One Blade. I was honestly blown away. Worth every penny.
Not every little thing is a conspiracy, Sinister Mary Clements ... Some of us appreciate reviews like this because WE HAVE TO SHAVE and its nice to know how this 'gear' works over time.
@Cooper re: " definitely an ad " ^^^^^^^^ Can't differentiate between an honest sixth month review and an AD. This is also why IQ exists on a "bell' shaped curve; truly, half the population is below 100 ...
I bought one today, found it for around 20€. Just finished shaving and it is above every blade I used so far. Skin is not irritated, no cuts, does not matter wet or dry shaving. I really like those combs that came with it since I never shave all the way to the skin. They (combs) work well, as they should. Can recommend for sure, especially if you find it for cheap
I’ve been heavily investing in shaving for the last five years. Here’s what I’ve found based on years of experience looking for shave I want. (I want the smoothest quick shave without getting ingrown hairs or irritation.) 1) Annually, with daily shaving, the Oneblade will cost the same as buying the Braun Series 9 with cleaning cartridges replacing the cleaning cartridge solution every 19 cycles (I took over two weeks to count exactly how many cycles until the light turns on.) 2) The Philips Norelco OneBlade doesn’t provide the closest shave when “close” is defined by the length of hair protruding from the skin. However, “smoothness” I have found the OneBlade can provide (with extra work) a shave nearly as smooth as a Double Edge Safety Razor. This is all from my experience, not the opinions of others. 3) Using Leftric Shave or another electric pre-shave will make this even smoother. If your goal is the closest shave, the Gillette Fusion 5 should be the winner because it will cut under the skin, but that’s a problem. Cutting under the skin produces ingrown hairs. Don’t get me wrong, the experience of taking a warm shower followed by shaving against the grain with a new Gillette Fusion 5 ProGlide using the Gillette Fusion ProGlide Sensitive 2 in 1 Shave Gel is AMAZING. (Assuming you didn’t break out in ingrowns the next day.) But you know, like I do, that those sharp, amazing shave experiences don’t last very long on those blades. In my experience, the way to get an oil-covered baby butt dish soap lathered slip and slide smooth shave is using a double-edge safety razor. The best part is you don’t get breakouts. It takes time to learn, but I go against the grain nearly everywhere on its face every time I shave and am never disappointed by blade performance. Double edge safety razors are much sharper, profoundly cheaper, and easy to learn.
yeh i've been using double edge safety razors since the end of 2019 bruv and i love them, so good, much better, i was plagued with ingrown hairs before from using gilette cartridge razors and braun and philips electric shavers, i tried it all. won't be going off safety razors now, use great shaving soap too the poraso, very nice, less chemicals in than gilette and nivea shaving foams so it's nicer on the skin
I have never liked electric razors but after having a stroke and not quite as steady as I once was I love this thing and I'm also a lazy shave meaning that I don't like to shave really impressed
I have it, I can tell you the blade can wear out before 4 months, it has happened to me. Before any of those wear indicators start. It’s a good quick picker upper. The cartridges for its life. At least for me. Is expensive. I don’t mind the price, but for the longevity. I do not think I will be using this product long term. Does it get the job done? Yes, yes it does. Overall 3.7/5 for me.
It all depends on what you are looking for. I use a razor to shave, I use the OneBlade to body groom and it did it ridiculously fast and does not cut. A reviewer stated that it doesn't shave close enough for daily face shaving, I don't give a shit, that isn't what I use it for. Depends what you are looking for. Cheap fast works perfect for my needs and is safe. Winner.
@@judeffr just saw this. It shaves close without it, I mean there cuts, simple and genius. The attachment’s are just to control length of hair. I can’t believe such expensive devices that are over priced, overhyped exist and they cut your nuts off. I bought mine prior to price hike, $17 and a case off Amazon for $12.
@@vvb9012 yes I have. I personally didn't use the shaving function near the "middle" because I was afraid to cut myself there but it does a great job at trimming. I used the shaving function more toward the bikini line and I would say it takes a couple passes to shave all the hair off. I noticed there's always some stubborn hair that the one blade can't get for some reason. Personally I wasn't going for a perfect shave so I don't mind but if you want a perfect shave it'll take more time. One thing I've noticed is that I don't get the "post-shave itch" with this blade lol

I purchased this as a must have irrefusable buy from the fleamarket for $10 NIB. Wasn't there a lithium ion battery version of this shaver when it first hit the stores? The lithium version was like 20 dollars more than the original one that had a shorter battery life, I think. Great review!

Dollar Shave Club uses DORCO razors and blades. Now DORCO appeard to be closing their website and want their users to go to Amazon at a higher price. Goodbye DORCO, welcome to my bathroom HARRY'S! 👍🏼
I recently purchased this for twenty-five bucks and am pleased with this presentation reaffirming that I made a good choice due to my...unique facial hairstyle that's quite the ordeal with everything else I've bought in the past.
this is a godsent because i hate having to do rituals, buy foams creams, aftershave and other bs just to remove hair off my face i've been using this for a solid year now and it didn't disappoint. shaving only takes cca 2 minutes or less
I bought mine about 4 years ago. The blade continued to work long after the that center section said that it was worn out. In fact, I used it for years and it worked OK. I just replaced the blade and the new blade cuts a bit faster, but not noticeably so.
I don’t know about anyone else but this is the best shaver I’ve found so far to clean up the sack and pelv... As long as you do the flying squirrel in the area your shaving you’ll have great results and minimal nicks if at all. I even use it on my wife for surprisingly nice hardwood floors. I find it to be a very useful product.
i just got this and it is a godsend , no scrapes or horrible razor burning , can precision trim the moustache area safely ...CDN$ 45.15 all in incl taxes
I got the Remington Durablade and...I don't like it. It sometimes catches on my skin or pulls a hair out, and it also misses enough patches that going over them again would be no faster than just a regular wet shave. Is there reason to think this would be much better, or are they all around the same?
I had the durablade for 6 months, it was fine for the first 5 months, after that it started pulling and not cutting at all. I returned it, bought a oneblade pro, and it's 100000x better, worth the money.
I’m big into DE shaving but this is a perfect alternative for people who want a shave without the hassle of buying multiple products and skin irritation
This was a pretty great review, got me convinced. Especially for that price, I don't need anything fancy. I'm going to give it a try, I've heard more than enough good reviews by now. Thank you!
@@kanervatie I use it maybe twice a week. It's still working perfectly. It makes shaving so much easier and faster. It gives a closer shave than I expected. It's not so expensive so I'd say it's worth the try. I actually look forward to shaving with this device lol.
@@thick_choco_barbar4458 I'm sure you can do whatever you want, you just have to consider the pros and cons. To find that out you'd have to experiment on yourself or trust someone else's experience.. Just not mine because I've never, nor would I try this lol
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 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
I still prefer a cartridge razor for my face, but I use the One Blade for trimming around my beard and for buzzing my scalp. I find the closeness of the shave lands somewhere between the cartridge and standard electric razor and it does a great job for what I want it to do.
Phillips is amazing 👏 I got rid of simple razers for at least 1 year There is only 1% of difference between Phillips shavers vs Normal Razer It gives you 99% smooth shave like a Blade Battery life is very good Wish i could have got phillips earlier because i have wasted a lot of money getting shavers which were expensive . Phillips electric shavers are beautifull . It gives you a quick shave weather you go outside or at home you look good . Let me tell you the best thing about phillips it gives you shave without hurting your face at all .
There is a difference between the face version and the face+body. The battery life on the face+body is higher than the face. 1hr with 4 hour charge time vs 45 min with 8 hour charge time
I love the one blade. The replacement heads are steep, but they do last for few months.. and can be used after that but it isn't very enjoyable experience anymore. I've had 2 of these so far. The firsts battery gave out after about 6 months, it just wouldn't hold a charge more than few minutes. The 2nd I've had over a year and its battery seem to last way better. Also I tried buying couple cheap knock off replacement heads and they only lasted for a week or two in reasonable condition. So they get more expensive and annoying than the originals.
I replaced my first razor in a year and four months, but the last two months I didn't feel very comfortable. I've got the same device to my son, and he still uses the first razor (1y6m), but he doesn't use it every day, but once a week.
Just got one based off a few reviews. Was scary to use because i feel like it doesnt really tell you whats cutting because to 2 blade ends you see. Also🤣 since I've never used a electric trimmer anything before this one. . I used it in the shower, shaving pubic hairs.. Started with the body attachment, after i pulled off the attachment to get closer. Had to clean head as needed to which wasn't difficult. Like i said before that flat area seems to be doing some sort of trimming. I experimented At one point and kept it in place on the skin. Felt like it burned or cut me, didnt leave a mark but after that i decided its best to keep the blade moving 😂 it cuts close maybe not as close as a traditional blade but pretty close. Youll be satisfied.
Top notch review. It answers all the questions I had about the product without devolving into needless technical desciption/marketing hoo-hah. It is also masterfully short.
I shave every 2-3 days, I like stubble someday for some outfits but other days I prefer a clean shaven look. It really prefers on how i feel. Some weeks I shave every day, some every two days or some not at all. It varies.
While you certainly can use the phillips one blade as a body trimmer, I actually got one already from phillips before I got the oneblade. Philips Norelco Bodygroomer BG2039/42 - skin friendly, showerproof, beard and body trimmer and shaver www.amazon.com/dp/B01LPT25MA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_emoODbHSEC4MH
i used it for the first time and i agree with you. i usually prefer super clean shaven because i don't grow much facial hair so i just like to keep it clean all the time and yeah, this just doesn't do it close enough. i was kind of disappointed tbh. ive been using my phillips norelco for the longest time and i super love it but i think i need to replace the attachment however i dunno if they still make them.
I could be wrong, but I’m fairly certain it’s supposed to be a facial hair shaver, not a ‘downstairs’ shaver. You might just have to buy a separate shaver, meant for your personal down areas. 🤷🏻♂️
I tried it and it is not that good! The key essential thing of shaving is a close shave and he stated it does not give a close shave, so it is not worth the price, buying it at that price and not getting that close shave. It is better to use any rotary shaver, which gives a closer shave and does not harm or cut your skin. I think this guy works for Philips.

When it's good it's good but that's not always the case. I love my OneBlade but there are a few dealbreakers that made me consider a switch.

2. The razors are SO EXPENSIVE, seriously, it's ridiculous
3. It seems like the bigger comb you attach, the more inconsistent results you get (but that might just be my beard)
It's pretty nice for close shaving, but it wasn't as much of a hit for my beard treaming use.
I agree with all ur points. I have thick hair. Another issue is the guards pop off way too easily especially when going through my beard.
Thanks for sharing
The blade cartridges are a bit fragile, but I used one for an entire year before I replaced it, so you just need to not be rough with it. I have a hard zipper case that I use to store the shaver and cord and blades and other attachments. That helps to keep everything safe and not banged up. The blades really aren't that expensive if you consider that they last months and months. I'm replying to a 4 year old post, so maybe they were pricier back then. But anyway, look at sites like temu for replacement cartridges and see how it goes. Your overall costs can be kept very low if you're smart. And of course, if you use the oneblade, you don't have to spend anything at all on shaving cream or aftershave gel/balm, so there's that too.
@@steventravers3615I’d suggest not using Temu, etc for blade replacements. You certainly wont get an official one and the knockoffs never shave the same. Otherwise, great post.
@@quarterswede Nope, they shave the same as the real thing, and look the same too - can't tell the difference! I don't think it was a difficult item to reverse engineer and duplicate exactly. Anyway, getting some from temu and doing your own tests is such a low cost proposition for anyone, there's just no risk to it. Worth a try if you go through them on the quick side and want to see if it'll save you any cash.
I love the Philips oneblade, it is the only device I've ever used that allows me a close shave without irritation and ingrowns (including safety razors and expensive Braun foil shavers). I use mine to shave every day or two and the blades last me almost two months. That was a solid review video and I agree with everything you said except two observations: 1) There is a difference in the body model vs the regular model, it has a lithium ion battery that holds a longer charge with less charge time. I have that model and even though it's not used for anywhere below the neck, the upgraded battery was worth it to me. 2) That is pretty unusual blade wear you presented there... It should be wearing away more evenly to eventually reveal two green arrows indicating it's time to change it out. Not knocking you, just saying you may want to contact Philips. All in all this is a great device and has really solved a long and frustrating battle with shaving for me. Even if someone doesn't use it as their primary shaving device like I do, it still is a valuable tool.
Thanks for those points and feedback. Interesting, I never saw any arrows. Perhaps it was a defect? I’ll keep monitoring the subsequent blades to see if they eventually show up.
Thanks for commenting!
@@6MonthsLater This should help, it's their official explaination of how the wear indicator works: www.usa.philips.com/c-f/XC000014594/when-should-i-replace-the-blades-of-my-philips-oneblade
I bought this razor for my 16 year son. My beard thickness is not so easy for the Philips. I bought a few ago the Panasonic LV 65 with 5 blades and it cuts really close like a razor finish. I can only recommend it.
I agree with you arc5 is the bomb
It really is a fantastic razor! I went to buy a simple trimmer, but ended up getting a Oneblade (for only €20!) and I haven't used my Norelco triple rotary shaver ever since. The Oneblade shaves almost as close as the Norelco with no skin irritation at all, there's no need to use any aftershave to calm the skin. A truly revolutionary device!
I’ve had this device for years. Only ever bought one. The blades last a long time and the indicator is very helpful. Love this blade
Changed my life this, have really sensative skin, it's BOSS
can you trim pubes with it or does it cut when you do?
Fastest and most confident ball shaving I ever did. Also my beard was never so clean and eazy to trim. Best gift I ever got
its really smooth for me. but that might be because I just started shaving and my hair isn't really thick and stubbly yet
One major disadvantage of Philips OneBlade is that it will NOT operate while connected to the power supply, so when the battery is completely drained you are stuck with an unfinished shaving, unless you wait 30 minutes or so for the battery to be charged just enough to finish the job.
Good point, it doesn’t have a charge level indicator so avoiding this situation is gonna take a bit of attention, especially since the charge lasts so long. I’m adding an alert to my phone to put it on the charger once a month
The oneblade is 🔥
Bought one of these around 5 years ago. Still the only razor I use. My son (14) has also started using it too, which is great as it’s a safe way of learning to shave.
Try one - you won’t be disappointed.
Does the body last long?
Body? As in the actual unit? Yeah, I’ve had mine for a number of years now and it’s still going strong! Seriously, I must have saved a fortune on disposable razors…!
Just don’t make the mistake that I did and try to save money by purchasing random replacement blades from eBay. My grossly overdue to be replaced original blade was ten times better than the fresh cheap imitations. The pull and irritate like mad, feels like dry shaving with a used disposable three blade type razor. So, pretty much horrible and about as awful of a shaving experience as I’ve ever had. Luckily with the genuine blades this thing is a dream to shave with. I’ve had mine for years, purchased it when I got a job that was overly strict about shaving every day. Before the One Blade getting ready each day was torture for my face and neck. Zero issues once switching to the One Blade. I was honestly blown away. Worth every penny.
I'm african American and always had razor bumps after shaving with anything but clippers until now best razor I have ever used point blank period
I love mine! Shaves and trims everything, easy to travel with, affordable, and like you said no face destruction. Recommended!
My dad always complains about his razor blade, his birthday is In 3 days so I think this will be a great gift
Was this sponsored? I’m getting concerned about how much is just an ad.
J S he’s just being honest
Nope, wasn’t sponsored, just occasionally branch out into home products vs tech products.
only if he can speak in a higher tone, this can be more convincing
Not every little thing is a conspiracy, Sinister Mary Clements ...
Some of us appreciate reviews like this because WE HAVE TO SHAVE and its nice to know how this 'gear' works over time.
@Cooper re: " definitely an ad "
^^^^^^^^ Can't differentiate between an honest sixth month review and an AD. This is also why IQ exists on a "bell' shaped curve; truly, half the population is below 100 ...
I bought one today, found it for around 20€. Just finished shaving and it is above every blade I used so far. Skin is not irritated, no cuts, does not matter wet or dry shaving. I really like those combs that came with it since I never shave all the way to the skin. They (combs) work well, as they should. Can recommend for sure, especially if you find it for cheap
I’ve been heavily investing in shaving for the last five years. Here’s what I’ve found based on years of experience looking for shave I want. (I want the smoothest quick shave without getting ingrown hairs or irritation.)
1) Annually, with daily shaving, the Oneblade will cost the same as buying the Braun Series 9 with cleaning cartridges replacing the cleaning cartridge solution every 19 cycles (I took over two weeks to count exactly how many cycles until the light turns on.)
2) The Philips Norelco OneBlade doesn’t provide the closest shave when “close” is defined by the length of hair protruding from the skin. However, “smoothness” I have found the OneBlade can provide (with extra work) a shave nearly as smooth as a Double Edge Safety Razor. This is all from my experience, not the opinions of others.
3) Using Leftric Shave or another electric pre-shave will make this even smoother.
If your goal is the closest shave, the Gillette Fusion 5 should be the winner because it will cut under the skin, but that’s a problem. Cutting under the skin produces ingrown hairs. Don’t get me wrong, the experience of taking a warm shower followed by shaving against the grain with a new Gillette Fusion 5 ProGlide using the Gillette Fusion ProGlide Sensitive 2 in 1 Shave Gel is AMAZING. (Assuming you didn’t break out in ingrowns the next day.) But you know, like I do, that those sharp, amazing shave experiences don’t last very long on those blades.
In my experience, the way to get an oil-covered baby butt dish soap lathered slip and slide smooth shave is using a double-edge safety razor. The best part is you don’t get breakouts. It takes time to learn, but I go against the grain nearly everywhere on its face every time I shave and am never disappointed by blade performance. Double edge safety razors are much sharper, profoundly cheaper, and easy to learn.
yeh i've been using double edge safety razors since the end of 2019 bruv and i love them, so good, much better, i was plagued with ingrown hairs before from using gilette cartridge razors and braun and philips electric shavers, i tried it all. won't be going off safety razors now, use great shaving soap too the poraso, very nice, less chemicals in than gilette and nivea shaving foams so it's nicer on the skin
I have never liked electric razors but after having a stroke and not quite as steady as I once was I love this thing and I'm also a lazy shave meaning that I don't like to shave really impressed
I have it, I can tell you the blade can wear out before 4 months, it has happened to me. Before any of those wear indicators start. It’s a good quick picker upper. The cartridges for its life. At least for me. Is expensive. I don’t mind the price, but for the longevity. I do not think I will be using this product long term. Does it get the job done? Yes, yes it does. Overall 3.7/5 for me.
I've had mine for years now and still runs like a champion
It all depends on what you are looking for. I use a razor to shave, I use the OneBlade to body groom and it did it ridiculously fast and does not cut. A reviewer stated that it doesn't shave close enough for daily face shaving, I don't give a shit, that isn't what I use it for. Depends what you are looking for. Cheap fast works perfect for my needs and is safe. Winner.
Do you use the attachments on it or does it shave body hair fine without them?
@@judeffr just saw this. It shaves close without it, I mean there cuts, simple and genius. The attachment’s are just to control length of hair. I can’t believe such expensive devices that are over priced, overhyped exist and they cut your nuts off. I bought mine prior to price hike, $17 and a case off Amazon for $12.
@@judeffr
I like the close shave of a cartridge razor. I like to feel my face after a shave and feel a nice smooth surface.
I’ve had if for about a year or so and it the best razor I’ve ever had ! Razors last for months
is it good to shave even after 3 days of ingrown hair from one blade?
I'm a girl and I just purchased the face and body kit! Thanks for this review
sorry to ask i bought this too have u ever try it on ur private area ?
@@vvb9012 yes I have. I personally didn't use the shaving function near the "middle" because I was afraid to cut myself there but it does a great job at trimming. I used the shaving function more toward the bikini line and I would say it takes a couple passes to shave all the hair off. I noticed there's always some stubborn hair that the one blade can't get for some reason. Personally I wasn't going for a perfect shave so I don't mind but if you want a perfect shave it'll take more time. One thing I've noticed is that I don't get the "post-shave itch" with this blade lol
Excellent review i would recommend saying at the start of the video if it’s sponsored or not and always be honest !
Did it come across as sponsored? Or do you think it makes sense to confirm when it isn't sponsored as well?
I would say when it is sponsored or not. So people know from the start, and the audience feels like it's your actual opinion, and not, as he said, sponsored. 🙂
6 Months Later Reviews I just feel a lot of UA-camrs are sponsored. That’s ok because if they acc believe in the product end aren’t money driven. It’s not thst you appeared to be sponsored it was just my first time watching videos so I didn’t know !
Thanks for the feedback! We'll definitely make it clear when our videos aren't sponsored but we'll work on some text for the video description of future videos to make it more clear when videos aren't sponsored.
If you are happy with your wife, that you feel ,everyone should know that . It means that her dad paid you to say that ? Or is just your honest opinion ?
Use it to style & trim my moustache, it makes the whole process so simple 🎉
I purchased this as a must have irrefusable buy from the fleamarket for $10 NIB. Wasn't there a lithium ion battery version of this shaver when it first hit the stores? The lithium version was like 20 dollars more than the original one that had a shorter battery life, I think. Great review!
I had many cuts around the mouth and neck. The only way to get these hairs is too press a bit firmly and this causes cuts. Do not run over lips!
I am impressed of how many regular blades you used to use. A regular blade lasts a few months with me, but I don't shave every single day.
he is lying to you. one-blade blades go bad after 2 months. so you need to spend 90$ per year if you want to use the norelco one blade.
hair clippers 0$ forever
BIC metal disposable blades .60c / m 7$ p year
dollar-shave subscription gillete 9$ / m 109$ p year
philips norelco one blade 15$ per blade 90$ p year
This guy is legend! In 5 mins he put everything.

You’re welcome! Thought we’d throw in an extra review for this week and try something a bit different. Back to more tech next week 😁
Dollar Shave Club uses DORCO razors and blades. Now DORCO appeard to be closing their website and want their users to go to Amazon at a higher price. Goodbye DORCO, welcome to my bathroom HARRY'S! 👍🏼
My hair is crazy thick and I shave my head as well. I go thru one razor a week...
I recently purchased this for twenty-five bucks and am pleased with this presentation reaffirming that I made a good choice due to my...unique facial hairstyle that's quite the ordeal with everything else I've bought in the past.
I recomand this ! I have it over a year now !
this is a godsent because i hate having to do rituals, buy foams creams, aftershave and other bs just to remove hair off my face i've been using this for a solid year now and it didn't disappoint. shaving only takes cca 2 minutes or less
I've been using mine for almost a year now and I haven't had to change the blades at all and it works so well stiil! :)
jokamutta I mean, you don’t have to but I, along with everyone else probably, really recommend that you do change it 😂
@@N-Kiro Yea I mean it has not worn out like shown in the video :D
@Tuan Anh Do Pretty much once a week. I used to shave more often before Covid when I was actually going places...
I bought mine about 4 years ago. The blade continued to work long after the that center section said that it was worn out. In fact, I used it for years and it worked OK. I just replaced the blade and the new blade cuts a bit faster, but not noticeably so.
Forgot to mention no shaving cream or even water needed!
Are you sure?
Such a shame! You are missing all the fun! No freshness at all without using water or shaving cream.
also after shave too !!
The best review of the one blade
I don’t know about anyone else but this is the best shaver I’ve found so far to clean up the sack and pelv... As long as you do the flying squirrel in the area your shaving you’ll have great results and minimal nicks if at all. I even use it on my wife for surprisingly nice hardwood floors. I find it to be a very useful product.
Hardwood floors, I am a year late. Lol great review.
With the guard, you can also trim the eye-barrow 👍🏼
His channel is gonna BLOW UP🔥
This is an excellent product in my opinion. Been using it for years now
I don’t think this would work on my face, but I might get this for my body hair
Thank you for your review! It was extremely helpful and I think I will get one for my husband to replace his regular razors.
Me personally, I use the good old rock and chainsaw to shave... call me old fashioned.
Underrated comment
Wow talk about rich I use my dead dogs broken bones to shave
i just got this and it is a godsend , no scrapes or horrible razor burning , can precision trim the moustache area safely ...CDN$ 45.15 all in incl taxes
I got the Remington Durablade and...I don't like it. It sometimes catches on my skin or pulls a hair out, and it also misses enough patches that going over them again would be no faster than just a regular wet shave. Is there reason to think this would be much better, or are they all around the same?
I had the durablade for 6 months, it was fine for the first 5 months, after that it started pulling and not cutting at all. I returned it, bought a oneblade pro, and it's 100000x better, worth the money.
I’m big into DE shaving but this is a perfect alternative for people who want a shave without the hassle of buying multiple products and skin irritation
I actually get more red from this then I do my fatboy.

This was a pretty great review, got me convinced. Especially for that price, I don't need anything fancy. I'm going to give it a try, I've heard more than enough good reviews by now. Thank you!
How is it?
@@kanervatie I use it maybe twice a week. It's still working perfectly. It makes shaving so much easier and faster. It gives a closer shave than I expected. It's not so expensive so I'd say it's worth the try. I actually look forward to shaving with this device lol.
Can I shave my balls with it?
Andy Delgado does it cut the sack?
@@thick_choco_barbar4458 I'm sure you can do whatever you want, you just have to consider the pros and cons. To find that out you'd have to experiment on yourself or trust someone else's experience.. Just not mine because I've never, nor would I try this lol
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 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
So I’ve been using mine for almost 2 years and I finally replaced my blade today... and I didn’t need too yet either.
Bro i bought it today but the price of blade is worrying me.
Can you tell how many months it could last if i use 1 day per week.
Please reply.
@@harshvardhanshekhawat1542 i have been using it for one year, once per week and still the original blade
@@diemcarpe2 thanks bro .
Harshvardhan Shekhawat I sometimes use mine twice a week...
@@turtsable thanks
I still prefer a cartridge razor for my face, but I use the One Blade for trimming around my beard and for buzzing my scalp. I find the closeness of the shave lands somewhere between the cartridge and standard electric razor and it does a great job for what I want it to do.
Phillips is amazing 👏
I got rid of simple razers for at least 1 year
There is only 1% of difference between Phillips shavers vs Normal Razer
It gives you 99% smooth shave like a Blade
Battery life is very good
Wish i could have got phillips earlier because i have wasted a lot of money getting shavers which were expensive .
Phillips electric shavers are beautifull .
It gives you a quick shave weather you go outside or at home
you look good .
Let me tell you the best thing about phillips it gives you shave without hurting your face at all .
There is a difference between the face version and the face+body. The battery life on the face+body is higher than the face. 1hr with 4 hour charge time vs 45 min with 8 hour charge time
Thanks for pointing this out!
Is NiMH vs Li-ion
more money = quality
I have it, I love it - it’s really the best
is it good to shave even after 3 days of ingrown hair from one blade?
I love the one blade. The replacement heads are steep, but they do last for few months.. and can be used after that but it isn't very enjoyable experience anymore.
I've had 2 of these so far. The firsts battery gave out after about 6 months, it just wouldn't hold a charge more than few minutes. The 2nd I've had over a year and its battery seem to last way better.
Also I tried buying couple cheap knock off replacement heads and they only lasted for a week or two in reasonable condition. So they get more expensive and annoying than the originals.
4:00 4 blades PER MONTH?! whoah...
I replaced my first razor in a year and four months, but the last two months I didn't feel very comfortable. I've got the same device to my son, and he still uses the first razor (1y6m), but he doesn't use it every day, but once a week.
Just got one based off a few reviews. Was scary to use because i feel like it doesnt really tell you whats cutting because to 2 blade ends you see. Also🤣 since I've never used a electric trimmer anything before this one. . I used it in the shower, shaving pubic hairs.. Started with the body attachment, after i pulled off the attachment to get closer. Had to clean head as needed to which wasn't difficult.
Like i said before that flat area seems to be doing some sort of trimming. I experimented At one point and kept it in place on the skin. Felt like it burned or cut me, didnt leave a mark but after that i decided its best to keep the blade moving 😂 it cuts close maybe not as close as a traditional blade but pretty close. Youll be satisfied.
Imma be real, the final 'shave' looks basically like a regular trimmer session without the blade guard
I'll wait for the Schofield edition it does your gooch.
Probably been used by many gay men already though.
Well this aged well...
Just got mine. Can't wait to get shaving!
Mine stopped working, even if I charge it for hours. It goes off after 5 seconds.
Which one you had? And how long did it last?
papec122 it’s all sorted now, turns it out needed to be charged for 8 hours for 45 mins performance.
I ordered the pro version just now and can't wait to get my hands on this thing
This was the best purchase ive ever made

Been using DE safety razors now for 2 months (always used Gillette Fusion 5) and I will never go back now 😁
(Henson Shaving and Mühle R89 razors)
Nah I'll stick with my safty razor. Ten bucks for over a year's worth of razors can't be beat at how good they are.
when you hit puberty you will dull a safety razor in one shave like the rest of us.
Top notch review. It answers all the questions I had about the product without devolving into needless technical desciption/marketing hoo-hah. It is also masterfully short.
First impression of watching this: you look like you don’t shave...so...how good is it?
Exactly
I shave every 2-3 days, I like stubble someday for some outfits but other days I prefer a clean shaven look. It really prefers on how i feel. Some weeks I shave every day, some every two days or some not at all. It varies.
While you certainly can use the phillips one blade as a body trimmer, I actually got one already from phillips before I got the oneblade. Philips Norelco Bodygroomer BG2039/42 - skin friendly, showerproof, beard and body trimmer and shaver www.amazon.com/dp/B01LPT25MA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_emoODbHSEC4MH
i used it for the first time and i agree with you. i usually prefer super clean shaven because i don't grow much facial hair so i just like to keep it clean all the time and yeah, this just doesn't do it close enough. i was kind of disappointed tbh. ive been using my phillips norelco for the longest time and i super love it but i think i need to replace the attachment however i dunno if they still make them.
This tore the shit out of my pubic region, hairs kept caught
I could be wrong, but I’m fairly certain it’s supposed to be a facial hair shaver, not a ‘downstairs’ shaver.
You might just have to buy a separate shaver, meant for your personal down areas. 🤷🏻♂️
I tried it and it is not that good! The key essential thing of shaving is a close shave and he stated it does not give a close shave, so it is not worth the price, buying it at that price and not getting that close shave. It is better to use any rotary shaver, which gives a closer shave and does not harm or cut your skin. I think this guy works for Philips.
Not everybody wants a close shave though
This thing is very good, but since it leaves some very evident stubbles on my (moustacheless) face, it’s a pass. The beauty of having thick hair, huh?
Oh okay, this video helped me choose this electric razor. Seems good to me. Thanks for the video
