Philips One Blade QP2520/30

It is a big scam. The blade is designed to be broken in 5 or 6 weeks. The blades are crazy expensive. The machine itself cost $41 AUD, but you need to replace the blade almost monthly, which it cost another $30. In another word, you need to keep paying $30 monthly to be able to use this machine. IT IS A SCAAAAM.

Great if you have sensitive skin – I can't use razors or electric razors as I get bad rash. I spent my whole adult like using the clipper blade on wahl beard trimmers. I saw this online and decided to try it out. The blade and attachment works really well. I mostly use this it on the 0.5 setting for the closest shave. Using the blade can sometimes cause irritation for me. The only things the unit can't do is get the mo under my nose so I have to take the attachment off and use the blade, and the blade can't square off sideburns, so I've kept the old wahl unit to do that.

Blades do need replacing but the battery life is outstanding and lasts a really long time before I need to bother charging it. Very happy with it and I just ask Santa for replacement blades in my stocking every Christmas!

Good for what it does, but not a close shave, blades don't last very long – These get rave reviews and while they are good, I don't think they quite live up to the hype. I've had one for a couple of years now and they're certainly convenient, and will give you an okay shave if you don't mind not getting a close/clean shave. But I do want a clean shave (otherwise what's the point, just get a trimmer and go for the stubble look), and for that this is only good for a first pass - I find you still need to then use a foil shaver or a razor afterwards to get a properly shaven look without little black follicles being visible. I only really do it this way because I've already spent the money on the One Blade and because the foil shavers seem to give a closer shave after going over it that way first, but otherwise I probably wouldn't have spent the money and would have gone with something else instead. The other annoying thing is that with daily use, the blades don't last anywhere near as long as Philips claims they do - I'd say they only cut well for 2-4 weeks tops, then you either have to put up with it not working as well or fork out $25 for a new blade (ridiculous price for a flimsy little piece of plastic and metal, Philips is just trying to milk you for money here). Honestly I'm not super impressed with them, the convenience factor is about all they have going for them, maybe that and the battery life is decent). But I'm still looking to get something else because I'm tired of having to double up just to do one job.

Better than I expected – I got this as I saw it and thought I’d give it a try. I have used electric and disposable. This will now be my go to razor. I like it. I’ve always had rash and cut issues. No issue with this one blade wet or dry and the foam. I like the closeness. It works for me. I am a random shaver. 3 days growth or 5 days or one day. So it seems to work. It may not be for anyone. I’ve recommended it to a relative with similar issues.
