thank you for making this video, i don't have any older men to ask these questions about so I appreciate you for taking time to explain each razor bro!
Thanks for the video. Looks like the OneBlade is not great for big and thick beards. My beard is every similar to yours and I saw you struggling to properly shave it. Very informative video, keep up the good work :) Good job!
LoL, people watching you in the store. They left with a story to tell 🤣 Well done on your demonstration/comparison. You'll probably have to use both models for different functions.
It was just like the Godzilla effect when people witnessed me trying out the models. It’s to bad that you can’t buy that “one device” just like a swizz army knife. Thanks for the feedback and support I really appreciate it!
I've been looking for a good body groomer and Phillips always makes top for the list. Did the research and I like the Oneblade concept. But I found the 5000 series to have a better option ie: handle extension to reach the back. I like this Oneblade and the adjustment length attachment rather than attaching different comb guards. But I don't need a blade for the face so I went with the 5000 instead. Maybe Phillips can look at creating a handle to reach the back.
I completely agree with you about Philips' models being top brands in groomes and trimmer industri, and that the 5000 model has better accessories. However, what I didn't like was that the seller wasn't sure about the availability of spare parts for it. Also, I found the length and shape less ergonomic compared to my old model. I've since noticed that the 5000 model has an extension part. Who knows, maybe I'll purchase one and make a video about it. I'll send a link along so you can see how the extender looks.

@Philip.315 maybe the Oneblade model can get an extension handle designed for it. I'm not sure, but I think the 5000 series is the only one with that feature. I wonder why the company didn't think about giving the Oneblade model that feature? Parts availability?
@@Philip.315 good question as that seems to the a theme this past year. And who knows for 2024? Just getting mine and I won't be using it daily. I am thinking it'll last a while longer.
This was the video I needed! I have a beard very similar to yours and I’m looking for a new razor. I was strongly was considering the oneblade, but was very ify about it. After watching this I will not get the oneblade. Not strong enough Thanks!
Phillips says that you should NOT use the Bodygroomer on your face. Is it not the case? Or you can use the trimmer side on your beard as opposed of the shaver side?
Now it's been a while, I made the video. But I want to remember that I used it on my neck (but i can be wrong). Recommendations are always good to follow, but I think maybe there is no such thing as right and wrong, as long as you get the result you want. I have seen people use shaving foam in combination with the trimmer. I will try it to see if it can be a more "softer" and closer shaving. I think that with the Philips oneblade, you can get a decent shaven look, but it doesn't feel like a clean-shaven. Not sure if I answered your question or made you more confused. You more than welcome to ask me new questions. regards/Philip
I've found that the blades don't set into the body of the shaver easily and the tiny plastic inserts break far too easily. Also, the instruction sheet font size is so tiny, you'll literally require a magnifying glass to read it. Lastly, replacement blades are hard to find - my local CVS store didn't carry any and they're pretty expensive for the little that you get.
Hi Dave. I completely agree with you, but I can comfort you by saying that the 7000 model was even more challenging when it came to replacing parts, to say the least, a disappointment, to be honest.
