Rated 5 out of 5 by from Brilliant Little Shaver Philips Oneblade 2530/30 Review. This shaver comes with 2 Oneblade heads, a head cover, 4 combs for the Oneblade, a 2 pin uk shaver plug, manual and warranty info. The Oneblade charges quiet quickly (in about 2 hours for me) you will need to charge it before first use (mine came completely dead) but you would expect to have to charge it before you use it. You will also need to have a 2 pin adaptor but I’ve never had a shaver that came with one anyway. The one blade works quiet well if you have short facial hair. It cuts quite close almost a close shave. I tried it when it came and I had an out of control beard which took quite a bit of time on the first shave as I have quite thick facial hair, but after the first shave to keep it short it works really well without any problems. It’s nice and comfortable to use. I have used razors before and wasn’t keen on them, so for many years now I’ve been using hair clippers to shave as I’ve tried other beard trimmers/shavers and they were not up to the task of cutting comfortably without ripping some hairs out. This shaver doesn’t do that so that’s a win for me. I use this shaver every day at the moment to keep the sides short, I find it really easy and quick now to get the desired result. The Phillips Oneblade is nicely weighted for the size, quite when in use and has good battery life. It has a textured rubbery coating on the handle for extra comfort in the hand. It seems well built and robust. It’s also water resistant. For the money I think this shaver is good value for money. The blades are expected to last 4 months if you shave twice a week, I use it every day so I will need to buy a blade once a month maybe, but only time will tell maybe they would last a bit longer.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from This product does its job, but... This product does its job and is great for the price it cost. But, this item is also takes a lot more time to fully use was compared to other products out there. Not only is it slow to actually finish the job, its also advertised as something that would look after you when using it. For example, it says that its meant to "cut hair, not skin" but both myself and friend managed to cut the most sensitive parts of our faces multiple times during normal use also leaving a bright red rash. It also manages to miss a great deal of hair when shaving even though it requires a lot more time and . consecration then most other razors on the market. Considering this item was made for comfort and a desirable shave, I found that it didn't stand up to the marketing of the actually device. I overall think that this item needs taking back to the drawing board as it is not yet made for all the hype that it is creating. Does the job it's meant to, but not well.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Simples Innit Had to charge out of the box, that was a novelty in this day and age. Most things come with at least half a charge. Went into bathroom and within Seconds had the mark of it. Did all the trimming first, found the length I (She) liked and wazzed over face, Done ! Then without protection, dragged head across face with the styling blades cutting ALL long stubble in its path, and some of the day growth. With another passing of the head over the stubble, slower this time and stretching the skin with fingers of free hand, the face was free of all signs of facial hair ! I then ran it over my head, as is my want, Head and Face sorted, less than 5mins.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Good for trimming, not for sensitive skin Just used my OneBlade for the first time. The first thought is 'how can this be cutting anything, it feels like it's just gliding over my skin.' Then the realisation sets in that it is actually shaving and I start to get excited. 5 minutes in and I've used it up, down and sideways like it says you can and I've had to go over the same area 5+ times because it's just not getting the hairs. I bought this product because of its sensitivity claim and if you're not worried about a decent shave, want the 5 o'clock shadow look or want to use the heads to trim then it's a fantastic product, but if you've got sensitive skin and want a close shave then this is not the product for you. By the time you've rubbed it over your face to get it to pick up all the missed hairs, your skin is burning, bleeding and sore. Good for some applications, definitely not good for what I bought it for. Shall be putting it straight in the bin.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Shaving pain a thing of the past I have irritable Irish Skin with weekly shaving rashes acne breakouts so you can imagine shaving is a nightmare for me.ive used every type of razor, gel,oil,cream ,double edged razor ,straight razor cartridge razor etc I've been using this for a while with no tugging, no rash no heat. doesn't dry your skin best advise I could give is get the upgraded battery version slightly more expensive but very much worth it.I wonder if Philips could design a small hand size version like a normal other vibration power razors with a small carry bag ..now that would be a great razor. Believe me, it normally takes me a half hour to shave and the pain. I've tried every product on the market and they simply don't work..this has changed my shaving life.id love to meet with the R and D at Philips I believe I could help them design the perfect razor for men. thanks, Philps, Eamonn, V happy Irish customer.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fantastic product overall Having used other trimmers for a number of years, I was looking for a replacement product as it rusted and the battery capacity had depleted. I scoured the web searching for a replacement when I found the OneBlade. I would forgive you for being sceptical about this product since it is touted as a revolution in the trimmer/shaver market and there are some discouraging reviews around but the product truly is great. Having used it for a number of weeks now I rate it highly. For the pro's and con's please read below: Pro's - I use the OneBlade with a guard to trim my facial hair which is kept relatively short. It does so quickly and evenly and better than my previous trimmer. - I use the unguarded blade to do my neck as I like to shape my facial hair up to my jaw line. It cuts much closer than any trimmer I've used before and much more efficiently. Some mention here about irritation etc but if you use the blade as instructed, in continuous sweeping lines against the hair it does not catch or irritate (at least myself). - The OneBlade is great for edging as it cuts a sharp and easy to control line and I can reach a previously fiddly place, directly underneath the nose, to trim my moustache. - I have been using it for a couple of weeks now and haven't had to charge it using it every other day or so. - It comes with a plastic clip cover which keeps the blade dry in a moist bathroom environment which is what dulls razor blades quickly. - Can be judged both a pro and a con but the purchase of new sharp blades does mean the OneBlade will last longer (albeit at cost) and issues like rusting or dulling of the blades are less significant. Con's - (For some) have to buy replacement blades - Does not have a 'vacuum' function like certain other trimmers which would be nice but not essential. I imagine the OneBlade and indeed any other trimmer will have to sacrifice functionality to allow a vacuum part.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Awesome :-) second to non As a man it's hard to find a razor/ shaver that you actually like or want to use. If you're like me, a man that hates having a wet shave due to getting shavers rash and can't dry shave with blades as it's just awful. I thought after watching videos of this new one blade I'd give it a shot as it was on offer at boots so I took the chance and haven't looked back. With the Philips one blade I can happily say that I can shave my beard and head without worrying about cutting myself, shavers rash and would definitely recommend it that much that I would happily spend the rrp of this shaver all day long. This shavers performance is second to non it gets your beard/head hair down to the length of a clean shave after a few hours it is that good. If you're undecided about this product then all I can say is try it you won't be disappointed at all.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Product has a great use but is not as good for a close shave I love the fact that its easily transportable. It is ergonomically sound and does the job when trimming my beard. Left a weeks worth of stubble especially for this arriving and have to say I'v not been that impressed with its performance. Whilst it is OK in certain circumstances it is nothing at all like how the adverts would have you believe. First of all tried it dry and no matter which way I used it with, across and against the grain it still left patches of longer hair. Not only that but the extra time spent cleaning up hair that had managed to ping its way half way across the bathroom covering everything in sight negated any time saved. A lot better with a wet face and foam. Love that it doesn't leave any cuts on my face like manual blades. Easy to clean. I would love it if the shave was a bit closer. Not bad over all

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Absolutely amazing! Wow, this product is simply amazing. I went through many, shavers, trimmers in my life yet this is the first one that impressed me! I generally dislike shaving, so I usually have a stubble that eventually goes out of control. I used trimmer to trim it down then regular old fashioned razor to shave it clean, to start growing my stubble again :) My last trimmer was terrible it was getting stuck on my stubble, needed a power cord etc. I was on a lookout for the new trimmer and could not decide what to get. One day I saw OneBlade and its design and small blade attracted me so much I bought it! Later on that day I had a first go and I loved it, there was no need to old fashioned razor after I used OneBlade. In fact simplicity of this product is so advanced that you wont need any other product at all! not even a moisturiser LOL

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Certainly not a close shave My Phillips Series 5000 wet & dry started making funny noises so I thought I would try this out. I know it states it is not as close as a wet shave but neither is the Series 5000. The OneBlade takes much longer to complete my shave and it was certainly not as close as a wet shave or my Series 5000. Glad I got it on offer, as don't feel I have wastes so much money.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Not perfectly smooth, but no sensitive skin irritation - worth it! If you get skin irritation from a normal foil or rotary dry shaves, this is the razor for you. Normal razors pull on the hair and cut it, whereas this has guarded clippers that sit on the surface and cut like a lawn mower, with no tugging. What this means is you won't get a perfectly smooth shave, but it will be short enough that people won't see the stubble unless really close. I've been using the razor for several weeks now and have had no irritation, even along the jawline and neck. It comes with several combs which mean if you want to trim the stubble to a certain length, you can clip on a comb and shave perfectly to that length. Comes with several blades that cut along the top and bottom, if you shave infrequently then you likely won't have to buy a new blade for at least the first year of having it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from All I wanted in a trimmer! It is just amazing! The whole experience with the OneBlade was just so smooth and surprisingly good. I always had to resort to more than 2 products to care for my beard and all, and I never expected to only need one to do it all. Now I can comfortably trim my beard to the wanted length as well as keeping the edges really clean with the closed blade-like shave. It saves so much time in the morning when I want a quick trim and so much space in the bag when I have to go away for a few days. I already got my dad one and made my friend buy one as well and they are both really surprise of how efficient the OneBlade is... needless to say whenever someone asks about how I get my beard to look this good that I talk about this product. Made my life so much easier!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Went through my beard like a warm knife through butter! I am thoroughly impressed with the OneBlade, I was able to shave off my beard in a matter of minutes without the OneBlade pulling or yanking the hairs, which is what usually happens with electric razors/clippers. In comparison to a wet shave, the OneBlade doesn't give you any cuts or irritation, in addition, you don't suffer from the problem of 'caught' hairs in the blades, which would usually render the razor useless or uncomfortable to use mid-shave. It should be noted that it doesn't give a shave as close as a wet shave, but I found that I was able to alleviate this slightly by going over the shave areas that felt particularly rough again, but not completely. All in all a great product that exceeded my expectations.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from i bought it for a head shaver and it was perfect I bought the pro version with the blade adjustment and extra battery life. 1st of all when i opened the packet the battery was flat and thought i would have to wait hours to charge, how wrong was i took 30 mins to get to 50% very fast charge. the blade adjustment is very good and has lots of different lengths to chose from i went for the 0.4 setting and it handled really well shaved my entire head with ease so i decided to see how close it could shave with the blade adjustment off and wow its skin tight very impressed. i then used it as a face shaver its still very good but not as close as my philishave so ill use this mainly as a head shaver but still for the price its awesome glad i bought mine now :)
