Do the blades really last?! - Philips OneBlade After 6 Months

[@quintonrichards4805]

I’ve personally invested heavily financially and practically in shaving. Here’s what I’ve found based on years of experience looking for shave I want. (I want the smoothest quick shave without getting ingrown hairs or irritation.) 1) Annually, with daily shaving, the Oneblade will cost the same as buying the Braun Series 9 with cleaning cartridges replacing the cleaning cartridge solution every 19 cycles (I took over two weeks to count exactly how many cycles until the light turns on.) 2) The Philips Norelco OneBlade doesn’t provide the closest shave when “close” is defined by the length of hair protruding from the skin. However, “smoothness” I have found the OneBlade can provide (with extra work) a shave nearly as smooth as a Double Edge Safety Razor. This is all from my experience, not the opinions of others. 3) Using Leftric Shave or another electric pre-shave will make this even smoother. If your goal is the closest shave, the Gillette Fusion 5 should be the winner because it will cut under the skin, but that’s a problem. Cutting under the skin produces ingrown hairs. Don’t get me wrong, the experience of taking a warm shower followed by shaving against the grain with a new Gillette Fusion 5 ProGlide using the Gillette Fusion ProGlide Sensitive 2 in 1 Shave Gel is AMAZING. (Assuming you didn’t break out in ingrowns the next day.) But you know, like I do, that those sharp, amazing shave experiences don’t last very long on those blades. In my experience, the way to get an oil-covered baby butt dish soap lathered slip and slide smooth shave is using a double-edge safety razor. The best part is you don’t get breakouts. It takes time to learn, but I go against the grain nearly everywhere on its face every time I shave and am never disappointed by blade performance. Double edge safety razors are much sharper, profoundly cheaper, and easy to learn.

[@allspeedtest3995]

How often do you replace the blade of the Philips Oneblade when using it daily?

[@xsiikphyziiksx7205]

Yeah but your chances of slicing yourself greatly improve. I know it’s technique but should I be getting nicked because I want a cheap shave? Like you I’ve invested in this new hobby of shaving. What you said makes me even more curious about the one blade. Because at the end of the day cartridge razors give the best bbs no nick shave but they are damn expensive. I’m on the fence with buying either the one blade or Panasonic arc 5 to try and see if electric shaving is for me. Yes I do like DE but sometimes I don’t feel like getting cut in the face. I just used a feather blade for the first time and by user error I cut my lip. 100% my fault. But nonetheless that would only usually happen with a DE razor.

!!! Greetings from Montréal, Québec, Canada !!! Thank you for a nice and honnest video !!! I had my eyes on that product for a few months now and decided to buy it last week. I am using it every 2-3 days (depending if week days or weekend?) to shave my sides and back of head to the skin and am very empressed with it !!! Really happy to have put my hands on it !!! Cheers !!!

[@HansHaupt]

Hello Padre! Thank you so much for watching and commenting. I’m really glad you’re enjoying the product as much as I have been - it’s the only shaver I use for my face now! Keep well and happy shaving 🪒 😊

[@allspeedtest3995]

I'm a daily user, so I have to change the blade every month or so. Sometimes I use it longer, overall it feels less comfortable after a month but the results are not as bad as I thought it would be.

[@earthling1984]

I'm happy with a 'shaved yesterday' look. So, this razor has really been great (just got it a week ago). I only shave like once or twice a week, and I don't care if the blade shaves a tiny bit less over time. 1 blade may last me a year! But, even if 2 blades a year, not bad. Can get 2 blades for $15 with their email signup deal. Way less than I would spend on disposable razors every year! I got the "teen" model for just $25 (one blade, no accessories, and smallest NIMH battery), and 2 extra blades for just $15. So, hopefully this $40 will last over a year or maybe even two!

[@earthling1984]

Had this a couple months now. For over a month no charge needed! I did charge after about 6 weeks because I was going on a trip and wanted a full battery. This thing is amazing! I use it a couple / few times week and it keeps me cleaned up. I honestly see myself using this for the rest of my life. Also wanted to add. One great thing about the teen model is you have to twist it to turn it on. It isn't a button that may get pushed randomly during travel.

[@thom1218]

There's a video of a guy showing how to turn the blade around too since one side often sees more use than the other!

[@photosmithy]

Ive been using a MUHLE safety razor for years but I bought one of these just for those days when you need a mega quick nick free shave. Good follow up 👍

[@Supercharger86]

I'm looking to get a oneblade, so this was super helpful, thanks for a good review 👍🏼🙂

[@HansHaupt]

You’re most welcome 🙏

[@georgipetrov4394]

I bought the One Blade trimmer like less than 3 months ago. I use it only to shave my head, not the beard. I use it twice a week. I also bought a package of 2 spare blades and they are all bad now... I love how they shave when they are new but they really don't last that much.

[@TheRealNewWhirledOrder]

Two shaves per week. I shave every day. Sometimes twice a day. Hmmm. I just bought one. I rarely let my beard get as long as you have here. Thanks for the video.

[@jhallawesome]

I have 5 days a week with super thick hair and after 8 months I just realized from this video, that I’m even able to change blades since I thought it was a lifetime thing for some absurd reason and it has been working perfectly tripping on the sides and getting all the rest without pulling at all. Just make sure if you get the extender combs that click on, you blow the hair out recently or it will get clogged since it isn’t made for length combs on them and for just trims and clean shaves that don’t cut you. Best I have used so far in my 26 years of living for sure but if anyone knows anything better I am always willing to try!

[@RegebroRepairs]

The wear indicator is genius. I do really like the OneBlade, mostly because it's the only shaver I can use without getting a rash.

[@henrygingold6549]

My problem with Philips rechargeable devices is that the batteries inside die after quite a short time. This usually means that the device has to be thrown away. You should be able to change the rechargeable batteries when they die.

[@photosmithy]

My thoughts after a few weeks of use. The MUHLE safety razor hasn't been used since. This electric razor just suites my daily requirements perfectly. Very impressed with it. I have to shave at least 3 times a week so not expecting to get as long a use out of them.

[@HansHaupt]

Awesome 👏🏻 😎

[@seanstoutgamer]

Same! I use an electric shaver because it does better on my sensitive skin, And for me it's quicker and easier...

[@xm2268]

Just got one new blade shaver today. Amazing review, excellent 👏

[@HansHaupt]

Thanks for watching! Enjoy your new shaver 😉

[@tuffr2]

I just bought a new blade today 7/20/23. I can see from this very good video that the new blade should be better.

[@godwinmettle17]

Do they sell the blade separately when needed

[@uria702]

My beard is just about as thick as yours. I still buy new blades every few months. It feels better and it cuts better. I also use lectric shave which helps even more. The result is spectacular.

[@TheSimArchitect]

Mine lasts years (probably 3 or 4 years per blade, would last even longer if I wanted to stretch it) but I only use it once a week on average. I also have a foil razor when I want a close shave though, and my beard is gray.

[@aust4105]

I get razor bumps sometimes, and razor burn and cuts usually, but honestly the Oneblade offers a closer shave without much irritation. So far I'm happy with my purchase. I have a much thinner beard than you, although I shave every 2 days to stay basically clean shaven. So I wonder if it will last 4 months in my case...? If I have to change the blade more than once per 3 months, I don't think it's worth it, I'll look for something else..

[@diarx1]

Generally use oneblade to knock down 1 week+ growth when I've been too lazy to properly shave, does a better job than any a regular trimmer in getting it down to a length to then shave with a regular wet razor, much more comfortable and doesn't catch as much. Also tried putting one of my old oneblade heads in an ultrasonic cleaner with some dish soap the other week, unsure if it's just a placebo effect, but felt like it brings an old blade back to life a little.

[@NyomiHendon]

Damn that's impressive. I still have a bunch of disposables in my bathroom. Maybe it's time for an upgrade lol

[@HansHaupt]

I’ll be honest, I didn’t expect much when I started using it. But it impressed me enough to keep using, and now I’m not sure if I’ll ever really go back to “normal” shaving 🪒 💁🏼 The fact that the blades last for as long as they do, is really just the cherry on the top of a functional and useful product 😎

[@covertops.]

I bought a OneBlade yesterday and it is so easy, convenient and great that it looks like it will be my only shaver! I really love that I do not have to use foam and therefore I can see more clearly how to style my chinstrap and goatee. With the foam in the way, I was not accurate. With the OneBlade, I can see everything and thus style accordingly. I love it!

[@nicholaspetre1]

It is a very good video! Thank you very much , Sir!

[@nickturner9051]

After one use of shaving my head the wear strip is completely green from brand new

[@informedchoice2249]

fantastic for a daily shaver if you want it and then you can always have a blade shave if you really want to get a close shave looks perfect for me. I envy you you grow in two weeks what I grow in 5 days It's difficult to tell actually is your left side of your face evenly shaved because you have obviously a little bit of a darker patch in certain areas was it even or was it uneven interesting thank you for this good video not sure whether I'd buy one i'm mulling it over

[@johngranato2673]

great video! Covered and answered all of my concerns.

[@craigwoodgate7120]

I have had my one blade for about 2 months now and so far its one of the best shavers i have had i have very sensitive skin and normally every shaver i use makes my face so sore i cant use them again where as the Philips one blade is so far the only one i can actually use

Can we use this blade after one year, if we have used only 3-4 times before that. Is it the usage that matters. Or Is it the replacement deadline ?

Mine do not ever last more than 6 to 10 shaves. Maybe because I bought mine at Walmart, and everything at Walmart is the cheapest version of a product.

i bought it maybe a year ago and i havent changed the blade. around my lips theres some stray hairs it cant get but its hard to notice. i think my wahl peanut can get the stray hairs around the lips but i usually dont bother.

[@protozee]

Great review thanks

[@drewsquickfix]

great video comparison!! I grow out stubble about to where you are every 2 weeks. I have found the blade gets caught in my stubble and is more difficult to trim after 20 uses. Tey blades are pretty expensive costing about $12.99 each. I think philliphs should lower the price. Its not worth buying generic blades on ebay or amazon they are crap!!

[@chrisboyd4706]

I wonder if this would be an okay option for me because I have sensitive and I only shave my face and head once a week and my plan to deal with the stubble is to follow up the one shave with my andis foil shaver to finish off the process completely each time once a week

[@markhinds9263]

Really good advice one blade is very good performance and long lasting blade with two shaves per day can last for 5 month wow .they need a 2mm comb I think for low stubble so as it grow its tidy thank you

Thank you for your comment Mark 🙏

[@TheRealNewWhirledOrder]

Do you think you'd have gotten a better shave if you had used shaving cream?

[@johnrandle8365]

I don't rate anything other than D E razor I suppose to me its not needed if your into cartridges which I gave up some time ago for you might be ok.

[@carljensen5730]

Most people don't shave just a couple of times per week. I use mine around every other day and the blades only last a couple months.

[@steviesteve750]

That's still cheaper than buying wet shaver cartridges, I save and subscribe from Amazon, works out fine for me, but then I make them last 4 months a blade.

[@EdwardSwardt]

Amazing value for money, honestly. 😍😱 OneBlade? More like OnlyBlade 🤩

[@HansHaupt]

Absolutely agreed! Thanks for watching Ed!

[@carljensen5730]

They do NOT last more than 1 or 2 months if you shave every day. I would really like to find something that uses the vibrating technology with regular inexpensive blades. I like using this without shaving cream, but I don't like that they go dull very quickly with more frequent use.

The suggested method is to shave against the grain to ensure the hairs do cut.

[@mahmoudabdalla8416]

Is it good for someone want a clean shave or not?TIA

[@HansHaupt]

It is not as clean as a blade. Using a blade is very clean. Skin is very soft and smooth after. With OneBlade, it is still clean but with a very small amount of stubble if you rub your hand over the shaved area. I hope that helps.

[@brandonpena1238]

[@twotone3426]

Great videos. With my Irish background that means I'm not that hairy in the sense of thick facial or body hair like you BUT, who the hell shaves twice a week aside from Cliff Clavin and teenagers?!.... (for you youngin's, you'll have to look up Cliff Clavin 😂). I got the OneBlade face and body and I shave my neck and parts of my cheeks daily and keep a stubble. The trimming aspect is good but there really is no cutting. I have to use my Braun electric shaver to clean the line under the chin and jawline. As for the body, doesn't go down to the skin with the attachment and if you use just the shaver without the skin protector, this will leave you cut everywhere and ingrown hairs. BEWARE! In short, this is a hit and miss for me.

[@GlassActivist]

Would lubricant improve performance?

In all honesty though, I just use Nivea (not for men). It's SMOOOOTH

[@HansHaupt]

This is a good question. I have actually tried shaving cream with it, and have found it does help to get a closer shave. It also saves the skin from the abrasiveness of the blade (which is already minimal, but could help with more sensitive skin).

[@benjaminhurley1823]

What's a blue beard

[@HansHaupt]

Disregarding the fairy tales and historical facts of the term, it essentially describes a beard that is so dark and course, it can still be seen even after a close shave. Think of it as a permanent 5 o’clock shadow 🤣

[@anant0089]

which is good for pubes this or 1025 ?

I’m not sure about the 1025, but I will say that the Philips One Blade is more than capable of trimming the pubic region.
