Philips OneBlade Pro QP6520/30 Trimmer 14-length Comb

I have struggled for the whole of my adult life with pseudofolliculitis which means that I can't wet shave, so my only option is to use an electric trimmer. I have tried a multitude of products over the years, but they all have the same major drawbacks: the shave is not very close at all, leaving behind coarse stubble; the blades tend to be scratchy, leaving behind red, irritated skin; and shaving takes a considerable amount of time and effort, making it a real chore.I saw this product advertised on television a week or so ago and thought that it would be worth trying out. I ordered one a few days ago and have used it a few times now since it was delivered. I am amazed at how quickly I can shave with it and at how close the shave is (compared to normal beard trimmers or clippers.) I can shave in 5 minutes and I look very clean-shaven with only a very slight sensation of stubble when running my hand across my face. It's just the right level of closeness to avoid ingrown hairs. I also have absolutely no skin irritation from the blade, which is engineered so well that it cuts incredibly closely without scratching and also does not nick the soft skin around the mouth, lips, etc.This is one of my best ever purchases. I can honestly say that it is an amazing, life-changing product for me. I can now enjoy a really close shave, without any skin irritation, in just 5 minutes. I would whole-heartedly recommend this product to anybody considering purchasing it and I'm incredibly grateful to Philips for putting such a fantastic product on the market.

Over the years I have a huge range of electric/battery shavers and trimmers and all of them have always had at least one thing one thing wrong, whether it is the length of the cut, the quality, the irritation caused and before this I was using an expensive Wahl trimmer which I was quite content with. However, after seeing the OneBlade advertised I was more than happy to give it a go to get the close, irritation free cut that was being broadcasted.I can honestly say I don't regret it at all! The OneBlade without the trimmer attachment cuts perfectly short just as you would expect from a shaver and it really does cause no irritation whatsoever (for me anyway) I found the cut to be most effective when going against the grain. The only downside of this shaver is that sometimes I do find I have to go over a part of my face more than once to get all the hairs, but I am more happy to do so knowing that I could do it all day without any pain or resentment for the task of shaving.I don't have a beard ordinarily but at the time of ordering my facial hair had gotten a bit long, so I used the opportunity to test the trimmer attachment and this was just as pleasing as the shaver. Great product that stops shaving being a chore, the battery life is great, I shave once a week and it would last around 3 or 4 months but I charge it when it reaches around 25%. The battery indicator is a nice touch and it is very easy to clean the hair away when you are finished. I can't recommend this shaver enough!

After using this product for quite some time, I will try to get a detailed review of my findings!Pros:- Battery Life: A full charge goes a long way. It can easily last me 15+ trims (8+ weeks) before charging. There is a useful LED indicator displaying the percentage of battery charge remaining on the product.- Charging Speeds: Due to the Lithium-Ion battery, charging speeds are extremely quick. If you are in a rush it could charge within 5 minutes from flat to give you enough power for a last minute trim.- 14 length comb - This is very handy for keeping side burns and select areas of facial hair in check. It is not the best but a useful accessory in the pack.- Aesthetics: The product looks excellent and is a great compact size for easy storage.- One-Blade Head Durability - The manufacture quoted 4 months is a very fair indication. In fact it lasted longer for me and was still adequate after 6 months.- Contour movement - This is excellent for manoeuvring around your face creating an even slight stubble look.Cons:- The One-Blade head eject button has become less springy over time and the blade does not pop out so easily. Small bits of hair also gets into this area which is hard to clean - although most people would not notice or care. Apart from this area the rest is very easy to clean and maintain.- 14 length comb: Unfortunately, whilst using this attachment you lose the ability to contour around your face. This is not a problem if you only use this on the sideburns but would be a drawback for someone who wanted to use this attachment for the whole face.Overall, I would say this is an excellent little trimmer for giving a clean stubble look (reasonable results using the guards) and recommend it mainly for the stubble look. However, I would suggest waiting for a discount as the RRP is a little overpriced.
