Do the blades really last?! - Philips OneBlade After 6 Months 

I havent changed my Philips Norelco blades in 5 years and they still perform well.

There's a video of a guy showing how to turn the blade around too since one side often sees more use than the other!

I'm a daily user, so I have to change the blade every month or so. Sometimes I use it longer, overall it feels less comfortable after a month but the results are not as bad as I thought it would be.

This was one of the most useful videos I've watched, thanks for the review!

Ive been using a MUHLE safety razor for years but I bought one of these just for those days when you need a mega quick nick free shave. Good follow up 👍

The wear indicator is genius. I do really like the OneBlade, mostly because it's the only shaver I can use without getting a rash.

Just got one new blade shaver today. Amazing review, excellent 👏

great video! Covered and answered all of my concerns.

I'm looking to get a oneblade, so this was super helpful, thanks for a good review 👍🏼🙂

I’ve personally invested heavily financially and practically in shaving. 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.

I bought the One Blade trimmer like less than 3 months ago. I use it only to shave my head, not the beard. I use it twice a week. I also bought a package of 2 spare blades and they are all bad now... I love how they shave when they are new but they really don't last that much.

Great review thanks

Good review, thanks!

!!! Greetings from Montréal, Québec, Canada !!! Thank you for a nice and honnest video !!! I had my eyes on that product for a few months now and decided to buy it last week. I am using it every 2-3 days (depending if week days or weekend?) to shave my sides and back of head to the skin and am very empressed with it !!! Really happy to have put my hands on it !!! Cheers !!!

It is a very good video! Thank you very much , Sir!

My problem with Philips rechargeable devices is that the batteries inside die after quite a short time. This usually means that the device has to be thrown away. You should be able to change the rechargeable batteries when they die.

Two shaves per week. I shave every day. Sometimes twice a day. Hmmm. I just bought one. I rarely let my beard get as long as you have here. Thanks for the video.

I'm happy with a 'shaved yesterday' look. So, this razor has really been great (just got it a week ago). I only shave like once or twice a week, and I don't care if the blade shaves a tiny bit less over time. 1 blade may last me a year! But, even if 2 blades a year, not bad. Can get 2 blades for $15 with their email signup deal. Way less than I would spend on disposable razors every year! I got the "teen" model for just $25 (one blade, no accessories, and smallest NIMH battery), and 2 extra blades for just $15. So, hopefully this $40 will last over a year or maybe even two!

Good job, thank you for your video!

Good video bud!

Generally use oneblade to knock down 1 week+ growth when I've been too lazy to properly shave, does a better job than any a regular trimmer in getting it down to a length to then shave with a regular wet razor, much more comfortable and doesn't catch as much. Also tried putting one of my old oneblade heads in an ultrasonic cleaner with some dish soap the other week, unsure if it's just a placebo effect, but felt like it brings an old blade back to life a little.

I get razor bumps sometimes, and razor burn and cuts usually, but honestly the Oneblade offers a closer shave without much irritation. So far I'm happy with my purchase. I have a much thinner beard than you, although I shave every 2 days to stay basically clean shaven. So I wonder if it will last 4 months in my case...? If I have to change the blade more than once per 3 months, I don't think it's worth it, I'll look for something else..

My beard is just about as thick as yours. I still buy new blades every few months. It feels better and it cuts better. I also use lectric shave which helps even more. The result is spectacular.

Damn that's impressive. I still have a bunch of disposables in my bathroom. Maybe it's time for an upgrade lol

My thoughts after a few weeks of use. The MUHLE safety razor hasn't been used since. This electric razor just suites my daily requirements perfectly. Very impressed with it. I have to shave at least 3 times a week so not expecting to get as long a use out of them.

I just bought a new blade today 7/20/23. I can see from this very good video that the new blade should be better.

Mine lasts years (probably 3 or 4 years per blade, would last even longer if I wanted to stretch it) but I only use it once a week on average. I also have a foil razor when I want a close shave though, and my beard is gray.

Thanks!

fantastic for a daily shaver if you want it and then you can always have a blade shave if you really want to get a close shave looks perfect for me. I envy you you grow in two weeks what I grow in 5 days It's difficult to tell actually is your left side of your face evenly shaved because you have obviously a little bit of a darker patch in certain areas was it even or was it uneven interesting thank you for this good video not sure whether I'd buy one i'm mulling it over

This guy is giving me Green Ranger type of vibes

Really good advice one blade is very good performance and long lasting blade with two shaves per day can last for 5 month wow .they need a 2mm comb I think for low stubble so as it grow its tidy thank you

😃😃😃 got a good day for me ❤️❤️😘

Daily use 5 monah, can it do it? I combined this with my muhle rezor just after 4 passes for my neck and touchups under my nose

I wonder if this would be an okay option for me because I have sensitive and I only shave my face and head once a week and my plan to deal with the stubble is to follow up the one shave with my andis foil shaver to finish off the process completely each time once a week

I have had my one blade for about 2 months now and so far its one of the best shavers i have had i have very sensitive skin and normally every shaver i use makes my face so sore i cant use them again where as the Philips one blade is so far the only one i can actually use

What camera do you use brother?

Honestly the first one lasted me for a couple of years 😅 given that I used the number 3 add on for most of my face and only shaved parts of the neck and cheeks clean, great product really, I hated shaving with regular cartridge razors and trimming by comb and scissors before that

Are all replacements universal they work in all trimmers? The numbers are confusing

thanks!

Amazing value for money, honestly. 😍😱 OneBlade? More like OnlyBlade 🤩

After one use of shaving my head the wear strip is completely green from brand new

Can we use this blade after one year, if we have used only 3-4 times before that. Is it the usage that matters. Or Is it the replacement deadline ?

Hi there mate, great video!!! 👍 Bought this today, when I plug it to charge it up I can see the green light is solid right?? So when is fully charged will be the light completely off indicating is full?? Cheers Gus

I've had my phillips one blade for 3 weeks! Shaving twice a week the replacement indicator is already showing. Might end up having to switch to a different razor if blades aren't going to last 😕

i bought it maybe a year ago and i havent changed the blade. around my lips theres some stray hairs it cant get but its hard to notice. i think my wahl peanut can get the stray hairs around the lips but i usually dont bother.

They do NOT last more than 1 or 2 months if you shave every day. I would really like to find something that uses the vibrating technology with regular inexpensive blades. I like using this without shaving cream, but I don't like that they go dull very quickly with more frequent use.

great video comparison!! I grow out stubble about to where you are every 2 weeks. I have found the blade gets caught in my stubble and is more difficult to trim after 20 uses. Tey blades are pretty expensive costing about $12.99 each. I think philliphs should lower the price. Its not worth buying generic blades on ebay or amazon they are crap!!

Do you think you'd have gotten a better shave if you had used shaving cream?

The blade mine came with was dull out of the box & the second blade went dull after 3 short stubble shaves, did I just get 2 junk blades or did I do something wrong lol

Mine do not ever last more than 6 to 10 shaves. Maybe because I bought mine at Walmart, and everything at Walmart is the cheapest version of a product.

I'm halfway through my second blade after two years I shaved every four days.

I hate beard, I am 19 and I have super dense beard it looks disgusting on me cuz it doesn’t suit my face everybody told me I look better without it, It really makes me depressed please how do I get rid of it? Shaving isn’t that effective anymore cuz it’s too dense

Most people don't shave just a couple of times per week. I use mine around every other day and the blades only last a couple months.

I don't rate anything other than D E razor I suppose to me its not needed if your into cartridges which I gave up some time ago for you might be ok.

Someone told me you have ti use the attached ments but people get a good shave by itself

Can it shave well with the grain?

Badass beard 🧔

Remember : Always the blades comes with the package has Much better quality !

How do you clean it? Isn't it damaged just by water? good video.

did your replacement blades last as long as the first? personally i feel like the quality of the replacements gotten worse

Great videos. With my Irish background that means I'm not that hairy in the sense of thick facial or body hair like you BUT, who the hell shaves twice a week aside from Cliff Clavin and teenagers?!.... (for you youngin's, you'll have to look up Cliff Clavin 😂). I got the OneBlade face and body and I shave my neck and parts of my cheeks daily and keep a stubble. The trimming aspect is good but there really is no cutting. I have to use my Braun electric shaver to clean the line under the chin and jawline. As for the body, doesn't go down to the skin with the attachment and if you use just the shaver without the skin protector, this will leave you cut everywhere and ingrown hairs. BEWARE! In short, this is a hit and miss for me.

which is good for pubes this or 1025 ?

Love one blade but damn the blades don’t last and they cost way too much

Would lubricant improve performance?

What's a blue beard

Mole ! .... Mmmmole......mole mole mole!

What is the price for the product

Thanks for the review electric shaver is bad it leaves hairs. Ill stick with my King C Gillette Safety razor that keeps my face smooth

Why wouldn't I just buy a rotary razor and shave daily and not worry about new blades

After looking at your face, I think you still need to shave. I’m thinking about getting a one blade and using it as a beard trimmer rather than a face shaver.

Austin powers...mole!

Dude your facial hair is godlike

why in the shower and not in the front of a mirror ?

It got dull after one month shaving head

Oneblade does not last this is bs. Maybe 3 or 4 good shaves then it starts pulling

Thats a beard? I thought that was a mask because of how high it was.

The one blade looks like a banana.

6 month is to small

Austin powers MOLEE

Don’t drop, they are fragile

Have you touched other areas of your body - such as the private area ?

It's really not worth it. The blade plus a replacement blade comes to $80CAD, when you can just as easily buy a professional-level device for just under $100CAD. The device is simply not worth this much.

Do you like guacamole?

literally can't tell the difference LMAO

old blade also left ur face with red marks !

I bought one blade pro, I used it once, it is total crap, overrated, buying one blade you throw your money down the drain.

Garbage, do not purchase.

Less chatting would be much better

What was the length of your beard before you shaved it? I've always wondered what level to use on the shaver to achieve that beard length! Thanks for your informative and detailed video. 🪒👌🏾
