I bought this to replace my 5 year old OneBlade Pro, which I unfortunately broke.

This newer model is equally as good as my previous one. It’s perhaps a bit better to hold ergonomically, with the blade sitting at a slightly different angle to ensure a better cut. It’s slightly smaller but battery life is as good as my older model for sure. Of course battery life is something that will differ from person to person depending on usage. For me, I am a light user, only using it once a week to trim my beard. On each use I probably lose around 1-2% so the unit lasts weeks in between charges, which is impressive. Charging is quick – a full charge being achieved in roughly one hour. I also appreciate the fact that this model includes a hard carry case – something my older model didn’t have, perfect for travelling. Speaking of which, also useful is the travel lock – hold the power button down for 3 seconds and the travel lock is activated, meaning the unit cannot be accidentally turned on when travelling. Hold the power button for 3 seconds again to turn this function back off.

In use the OneBlade is as good as always. The supplied combs are good to have, even if I am more likely just to use the adjustable comb. It is waterproof and therefore can be used wet or dry, and due to it being waterproof it is also extremely easy to clean – just switch it on and put it under running water for a few seconds, job done.

As a long time user of the OneBlade I would like to note that the average 4 month lifespan of the blades is completely inaccurate. In fact my last blade lasted me over 3 years and still gave a good cut, and the only reason I stopped using it was because I broke the OneBlade itself, and so when I replaced it with this newer model I of course used a fresh blade – I fully expect to get a similar amount of usage out of this new blade also. Again, this will depend on the individual use case, but for my once a week trim, I get a good 3 years from the blade.

Overall this is a great replacement that is easily as reliable as my previous model, and I expect to get a good few years’ use from it – as long as I don’t break it that is!

Reviewing after using the product for a year . Still strong and easy to use. Shave the face but still use a razor blades just to look smooth. I’m also able to clean and shave my long beard easily. Great product I bought so far.

I originally ordered a Series 9000 beard trimmer, however it was quite bulky and only went down to 0.4mm, so no good at getting clean lines.

I’d had a OneBlade before, but it was stolen. Anyway I rebought this and it’s ideal. Easy to hold and manoeuvre, with a pretty close shave if you don’t attach a comb.

The adjustable comb though is terrible. This pro version doesn’t give an even cut like the old one did. When going around your jaw line, it practically goes from 3mm to 0.4mm even if the dial is set. The dial also doesn’t lock into the numbers like the old one.

For everyone saying it comes with an EU plug…really? It’s a plug for a shaving socket, not a mains socket.

Bought this again as my first one was taken by my nephew. it’s a great product to use and does me a good close shave. The blades last for a good while, and are easy to install.

Good product slightly better to hold then the previous One Blade Pro, but the build quality doesn’t seem as solid. Which is why I’ve marked it as a 4.

Other than that, good battery life and gets close enough on a shave for me. It feels like the morning after a shave. Easy to hold even with my sausage fingers.

I’d recommend this.

Works well to trim hair, however it really does not work as a replacement for your razor, you will still need a razor to really get a smooth shave. The battery lasts longer than I expected from such a low profile product, which is really good to say I only had to charge it 3 times with pretty much daily use for a month.

The packaging is all recyclable which is really nice to see, but the accessories are a little lacking. It comes with a couple of attatchments and one spare blade and honestly for 100 I would expect better, alteast a few more replacement blades.
Where your money is really going is the quality of the internals, I strongly suspect (and hope) that this trimmer will go strong for a good few years of heavy use, as is usually the case with Phillips products.

The Phillips OneBlade Pro is a jack of all trades and master of—all of them, honestly.

It is packaged inside a small card box with minimal packaging and no plastic, that I could see at least. It looks pretty small in real life and I had my doubts it would be able to tackle a thick beard but I was massively wrong.

I don’t have a thick beard but it is long and this shaver cut through it easily without the need for a pre-trim. It also cuts extremely close giving an extremely smooth shave, smoother than my Braun and Phillips electric razors.

You can attach the trimmer head which boasts a rotating dial so you can select the length you want. This is a great addition and far easier than multiple guards of different lengths.

While it is is brand new, and may change as it’s used more, there was no pulling or snagging of the hairs giving an amazingly comfortable shave with no irritation.

I haven’t tried it on shaving body hair, nor more sensitive areas, but given its performance on the face, I don’t doubt it’s great elsewhere too.

As mentioned it is a little small so doesn’t fill the hand and so isn’t the most comfortable to hold, but it’s so quick you won’t really need to be holding it for long. The size is also a plus as it along with the attachments are so compact they can be carried around with ease, taking up no space at all.

While I can’t fault the performance, at 74 it is very expensive. Performance, build-quality, portability, and design are all top-notch but you could pick up something around the 20/25 mark, which would give you a good shave though.

If you can afford it and dropping 74 isn’t going to drain you of your spending money then I’d say go for it.
