Is the Philips OneBlade waterproof? The value of a waterproof shaver
Can you use the Philips OneBlade in the shower? A simple question deserves a simple answer: yes. The Philips OneBlade is waterproof, so you can use it for wet shaving, or even bring it into the shower with you. If your OneBlade has a charging port cover, though, make sure it’s closed before the handle gets wet.
If ‘Can I use my OneBlade in the shower?’ was your only question, jump down to the section ‘What do I need to consider when using my OneBlade in the shower?’ for a few tips, then go ahead and enjoy your shower shave. If you’d like to know more, though, keep reading. We’re going to talk about why it’s handy to have a waterproof shaver, and about how you can tell whether an electric razor is waterproof.
Why go waterproof?
A waterproof shaver opens up your grooming options. Sometimes a dry shave is all you need, but you might miss the ultra-smooth, low-friction movement of wet shaving. With a waterproof electric shaver like the Philips OneBlade, the wet shave and dry shave are both on the table. Maybe you need a quick dry shave on your way out of the door, or maybe you want to take the time to lather up and enjoy a smooth wet shave. A waterproof shaver means you can easily pick whatever shave you want that day. A waterproof shaver also opens up the option of shaving in the shower, letting you save time in your grooming routine. Before you launch into the shower with your shaver in hand, though, check out our dedicated guide to shower shaving. There’s also a section further down on using the OneBlade in the shower, with some points to help you have a comfortable shower shave. Waterproof shavers are also easier to clean, as you don’t have to worry so much about getting water into the works. That means you can keep up your maintenance with minimal effort and keep using your faithful shaver for longer.
How can I tell if my shaver is waterproof?
We’ve given a resounding ‘Yes’ to the ‘Is my OneBlade waterproof?’ question, but what if you don’t have a OneBlade? Waterproof shavers will usually specify that they’re waterproof in their documentation, but, if a leaflet came with your shaving equipment, there’s a good chance you’ve thrown it away. In that case, the manufacturer’s website will often be able to help. For example, if you scroll down on one of our product pages, such as the OneBlade Pro 360, you’ll find the link ‘Get support for this product’ under the technical specifications. It’ll take you to the relevant support page, where you’ll find documentation, FAQs and troubleshooting for that specific product. The list of product features also gives a ‘Yes’ to the question ‘Is the OneBlade waterproof?’ If you don’t want to go through documents, the shaver itself might be able to help out. Philips shavers use handy symbols to get useful information across. If there’s a shower or bath symbol on the back of your Philips shaver, it’s waterproof and you can take it into the shower or bath with you. Next time you find yourself trying to remember ‘Can I use my OneBlade in the shower?’, just flip it over to get your answer.
