While the expected lifetime of a Philips OneBlade blade is 4 months, you might notice it turning green much more quickly than that. Follow our advice to prolong the life of your OneBlade.
Troubleshooting
The blade of my Philips OneBlade is turning green too quickly
Improper cleaning of the blade
The Philips OneBlade is equipped with a blade-wear indicator. This means that with use you will see a green patch develop on your blade. Once this patch is completely green, it is a signal for you to get a new blade. Please keep in mind that this is only an indication and you should replace the blade when you are not satisfied with its performance any more.
One of the reasons for the blade turning green quicker than expected is improper cleaning. Cleaning tools such as brushes, towels etc. or chemical liquids can cause early visual wear.
Please follow the cleaning instructions below for OneBlade:
After every use, blow off any hair accumulated on the blade.
Turn your OneBlade on and rinse the blade and comb(s) with lukewarm water.
If the attachments need to be cleaned more thoroughly, turn the OneBlade off, take off its attachments and wash them under a tap.
Improper usage
The Philips OneBlade is designed to be used on the face to trim and edge up your beard. With the body attachment, you can also use it on your body. However, if you use your OneBlade on other non-recommended areas like your head, it may cause the blade to wear out and turn green prematurely.
High hair volume and density
The lifetime of the blade of your Philips OneBlade also depends on the volume and density of your hair. For hard or long hair, the blade can wear out quicker than for soft and/or short hair.
