Philips Norelco OneBlade 360 Shaver Review

The Philips Norelco OneBlade 360 is an outstanding shaver for people looking to be budget savvy. It is a shaver, stubble trimmer, and beard trimmer all in one.

Performance

Closeness

The shaver gets close enough for most purposes. Philips Norelco claims it will cut to 0.2 mm. For those looking for a closer shaver, see the Philips Norelco 3900 or the Philips Norelco 9400.

Comfort

It is very comfortable, especially after you have some practice with it. If you like to let your hair go many days between shaves, the style of the OneBlade 360 makes it very easy to see where you have shaved. This results in less necessary stokes and no missed spots.

Irritation

I did experience some redness and irritation after my first shave. The next time, I went a little slower and went horizontal on my neck. This resulted in a no irritation shave.

So, if you experience irritation at first, give it a few attempts. Try turning the shaver sideways and shaving in a horizontal motion. The goal is to cut as many hairs as possible with as few strokes as possible. Going over the same spot many times quickly will result in redness and irritation.

By The Numbers

Challenges with the OneBlade 360

Although the shaver is a great option for many and consistently one of the most popular shavers on Amazon, it does have a few drawbacks.

• Messy – Because it just has a blade and not a shave head, there is nowhere for the shaver clippings to go except on your bathroom counter. To avoid this, either get a beard bib or shave in the shower.
• No Charge Indicator – There is no charge indicator light, so you do not know when the battery is running low until it just stops working. Then it is time to recharge. This could inconvenient if it happens in the middle of a shave.
• Closeness – If a really close shave is your primary goal, there are better (more expensive) shavers available.

Truthfully, at the price point, none of those challenges are a big deal.

Conclusion

Overall, the Philips Norelco OneBlade 360 is a great choice for a shaver. It is great for teens just starting to shave. It is great for people wanting to trim around facial hair. It is great for people looking to be budget-friendly. And it is so versatile with the included trimmer for beards/stubble, it is definitely a shaver to consider.
