Philips OneBlade Pro

DON'T buy this product. The Phillips One Blade QP6531 has blades are blunt in 4 months and unusable, replacement blade don't seem to be in stock anywhere and they cost $22 each on line. Cost of blades $88 per year that is the same as buying a whole new unit evey 15 months. What a rip off!

Rubbish shaver – Absolute rubbish. Great body shaver but Not a face shaver & expensive. You better off with the Schick hydro 5. This product should Only be advertised as a body shaver & Not a face shaver Show details

Perfect for my use case – I have retired, so don't need to have an immaculately shaved face each day. But neither will my wife let me grow a beard (it would take months and probably not look that good anyway). But I do let my stubble/wispy beginning beard grow for sometimes more than a week. Now, the problems and my use case. I live in North Queensland, and for much of the… Read more ·  2

year I'm dripping sweat and an electric shaver wouldn't adhere. But I can't be bothered to lather up for a Gillette - hence the sometimes week-old stubble/wisp. Enter the Philips OneBlade 360 Pro Face! I had given myself a reminder to replace a Braun 5 Series cutter and foil at about the same price that Good Guys was advertising the 360 Pro ($109). So I bought myself a pre-Christmas present instead. I've used it 4 times now on a sweaty, wispy hairy face, and it just effortlessly and painlessly ploughs through the stubble to produce, if not a baby's bottom, a perfectly acceptable veneer of civilisation. There is a bit of a learning curve to how to wield the OneBlade. For example, you shave "against the grain". Did you know that facial hair had a grain? Neither did I. But practice has made for almost perfect outcomes. Oh, I went for the 360 to address the hair under my multiple chins, and for the Pro because it takes only an hour or so to charge and then lasts for 90 mins.

Edited 18 March 24: After 3 months of use twice a week, the battery is still showing 2 bars! And no noticeable blade wear. I expect that the blade will suddenly produce the telltale sign that it needs replacement, but hasn't yet. I'll buy a 3 pack of 360 blades tomorrow anyway. And I am really really happy with my 360 Pro Face. Again, if you want a baby's bottom shave each day, this isn't the product. But I don't think that's how we shave in the 21st century.

Really great shaver and edger ... not so good as a trimmer – We have two of these in our house. For shaping the edge of my beard and shaving my neck and facial cheek area, this little shaver is the best I have used in a long time. It shaves much closer than any trimmer I have used without being as close or as rash-inducing as a blade razor or other rotary or foil type electric shavers I have used. As a… Read more

shaver and and edge tool, I would rate it 10/10.

Fitting the adjustable trimmer head and attempting to trim my beard has however, been an absolute fail.

Once the trimmer head is fitted, the shaver just does not cut at all. Doesn't matter what setting I try, it just does not cut the hair.

Certainly not my first rodeo ... I have been shaving with electric shavers for almost 40 years. I have other Philips products that can trim my beard fairly well ... but this one ... not at all.

As an adjustable hair trimmer, I would rate it 0/10.

Good razor however not sure if defective blade – After extensive research I deceived to fork out for this razor for a few reasons. Can shave wet or dry, the reviews that is pretty close to a real blade shave and the 3 month life of the blade. I’ve now used it 5 times and as much as I’m happy with the shave (I’m not an everyday shaver) I’ve shaved various lengths from 2 day stubble to lastest 10… Read more

day lazy stretch over Xmas. However I’m less than happy the state of the blade and showing signs already it’s not going to last it’s advertised rate. Pics attached. Maybe I’ve just got a dodgy one either way not happy if I’m having to spend $25 on a new blade so early. I’d give the razor 4 stars for its cutting etc and 2 for the blade life.

Best Shaver I've Ever Owned – Yeah. It's great. It's the best shaver I've ever owned. The best part about it is the flexible head and the fact that the blades are replaceable. Ok, they do cost quite a bit to replace but, it beats having to buy a new machine everytime it gets blunt. It's also waterproof and the battery lasts a very long time. I don't even both charging it… Read more ·  1

between shaves. Very happy with this product. I recommend shaving while in the shower as the hairs just wash away, and in the one time I used it dry, I did nick myself near my Adam's apple. So be careful near that area if you need to go dry yourself.

One more tip - the Pro edition comes in 2 variations, the one I got was the QP6510 which was much cheaper than the QP6520 one. But, if money is no object or there's a sale on, I'd go for the other one, as it includes a cool charging stand to put in your man cave.
