![]() ![]() Philips offers something genuinely different with the OneBlade Pro, as its diminutive size and light weight make it feel more like a quality disposable razor than some of the unwieldy and overly bulky beard trimmers we have tried in the past. They cost around £30 for a pack of three genuine replacements. Philips claims the blade technology lasts for four months, based on two full shaves a week, but there have been complaints from owners that they start to dull a bit before this period. That said, it’s probably not good for delicate body parts, as the open blade means it is possible to snag areas of skin that are, let’s say, a bit more contoured than others. The fact that it is fully waterproof means it is possible to take it in the shower and it plays nicely with light shaving creams and foams for an even slicker experience. For longer beards, there are definitely better trimmers around.īut using the Philips OneBlade Pro as a direct replacement for disposable shaving blades feels like the proper approach, as the blade itself is very good at getting nice and close to the skin without physically scraping or aggravating the surface. Now, I’m not one to grow a fully-fledged Tom Hanks-in- Castaway facial adornment but even trimming medium-length hair is tricky, as the comb doesn't follow the contours of the face very well and it feels like it’s going to take more off than you ideally want. The adjustable comb that’s provided is too bulky and sort of spoils this trimmer’s USP, which is namely that it gives a really nice close shave without a lot of effort, nor the nasty cuts or rash associated with wet shaving. After a week or so of using this Philips OneBlade Pro, I decided it is definitely more of a wet shave replacement device than a full-on beard trimmer.
