Philips Norelco OneBlade 360 Pro Face + Body Trimmer

I’ve had many electric razors in my life over the years (I would never get anywhere near my face with a razor blade before I’ve had my morning coffee) and, frankly, as much as I’ve liked some of them, this blows them away as far as how quickly it works–particularly compared to electric shavers with foil heads (straight or rotary).

A few simple sweeps up and down and a week’s worth of long stubble is gone. It won’t shave quite as close as some of the razors I’ve had (which also had a high skin irritation/redness factor), but is so much quicker, can deal with much longer hairs and still produces a perfectly respectable look (though not as smooth a feel). The older I get (and the lazier I get about shaving) the less likely I am to put up with anything else.

I only needed a replacement beard trimmer (no need for a shaver as such) and was originally somewhat skeptical about the concept of using a small electric shaver with an adjustable trimming accessory. But the reviews were good, and I decided to give it a try.

It turned out to be a great 3-in-1 appliance. PROs:
1. The trimming accessory is simple, sturdy, doesn’t bend arbitrarily, ensures uniform trimming length, and is easy to adjust. Do NOT pay attention to reviews where some people complained about incorrect trimming length. We should all understand that these scales are approximate and relative. What used to be 2.5mm on my old trimmer is 3.5mm on this one (2.5 produces something close to the 5 O’clock stubble). Just find the correct position. It’s quite predictable from there. In my case, if I need to trim it a little longer, I just switch to 4 or 4.5mm.
2. The whole thing is very easy to clean. The trimming accessory can be instantaneously removed (or put back on) and washed separately. To clean the shaver, just turn it on and wash it for 15 seconds under the tap, as recommended in the manual.
3. It’s VERY compact compared to a regular rechargeable trimmer but works no less efficiently. A significant plus for traveling.
4. An unexpected but welcome advantage: a much smaller “contamination” area. With all my previous dedicated trimmers, small, trimmed pieces of hair were flying in all directions within the 2+ ft radius, and I had to carefully clean both the sink and the shelves around it after each trimming. With this one, the “contamination radius” is much smaller, and cleaning afterwards is so much easier…
5. After a month, the battery shows no signs of depletion. Looks like I can take it with me on a month-long trip without any need for recharging it.

CONs: None are too bad, but you need to take it into account.
1. The shaver uses a custom 15V power adapter with a weird custom cable, and you will have to take it with you anywhere you go. Moreover, you will not be able to charge the shaver if you accidentally lose this power adapter, or it breaks. WHY, oh WHY can’t they design these rechargeable appliances to use the worldwide standard, i.e. an USB-C port??? Any USB-C power source for notebooks and smartphones automatically adjusts to anything between 5V and 20V. It IS important to take as few cables/chargers as possible when you travel, let alone the risks of losing this stupid custom power adapter…
2. Another universal design flaw inherent in 95% of all rechargeable appliances: Neither a small, recessed BATTERY OFF switch accessible only with a staple/small pin, nor a safety latch preventing accidental powering on. This IS important when you travel and want to put the shaver or trimmer in your luggage. Imagine something moving and pressing against the Power ON button during numerous bag loading/unloading procedures! It beats me why nobody thinks of this simple precaution when designing appliances that are frequently used while traveling…

Arrived as described. Works good.

The Philips OneBlade Shaver and Trimmer is an excellent tool for anyone looking for a versatile, easy-to-use grooming device. Its ability to both trim and shave makes it an all-in-one solution for men with different grooming needs. While it may not provide the closest shave compared to traditional razors, its convenience, comfort, and value make it a top choice for everyday use. If you’re looking for a hassle-free, efficient grooming tool, the OneBlade is definitely worth considering.

By far my favourite trimmer, great battery life, the adjustable attachment is a game changer.

Es una máquina que realmente cumple su función y deja muy buenos resultados. Me ahorra el uso del rastrillo convencional aunque para acabados en ciertas zonas como el cuello lo seguiré usando.
Lo que se ve en la foto es lo que viene en el paquete aunque una navaja extra no estaría mal pero dice que una sola navaja aguanta 4 meses usándola 2 veces por semana.
La carga realmente se completa en 1 hora. Es un artículo que si no quieres batallar con la irritación o dolor que provoca el rastrillo debes tener en tus artículos de higiene y cuidado personal.

El manual bien dice que el producto no es para el uso en ciertas zonas del cuerpo, además que este en específico no incluye los accesorios que son recomendados para la zona íntima, no obstante lo puse a prueba solo con la navaja y hace el trabajo bien aunque sí llega a cortar. El corte no se siente y no duele pero no es recomendable hacerlo, además que el acabado no es el ideal, si es su objetivo hacerlo solo con cuidado, tiempo y ayudándose de otro método para que quede bien.

ACTUALIZACIÓN 2 MESES USÁNDOLA 24/07/2024
La rasuradora es una maravilla, la cargué en cuanto la recibí y hoy después de dos meses, a pesar de que el manual menciona que la navaja dura hasta 4 meses usándola dos veces por semana, se ha acabado primero la navaja que la batería.
El uso que le he dado efectivamente ha sido 2 veces por semana, incluso a veces que he dejado crecer un poco más de lo normal la barba, la rebajo con otra para después pasar la OneBlade por lo que no entiendo el desgaste prematuro de la navaja; considerando que debes cambiar en promedio al año 6 navajas y viendo el precio de cada una, es un punto a considerar si conviene o no, pero el hecho de no irritarme la piel ni que duela al rasurar es una ganancia enorme.

Excelente
