It's great for shaving, definitely less irritating than other types I've used. I trim my beard down to 6mm roughly every 4-5 days and clean up my neckline pretty much every day and my neck used to break out a lot from it. Now with a fresh one of these there's really no irritation however these blades don't last long. I mean, there's a point at which they'll still shave & it won't feel much different but it will irritate your skin. I thought I could stretch one more shave a couple days ago without putting in a fresh one & now I'm breaking out along my neckline & where I touched up my mustache. I haven't paid close enough attention to just how long specifically they last me but it's not as long as I'd like given the cheapest way to get them is this 3-pack at ~$12ea. It's decent at edging, but not great. It seems the flat surface does cutting but also the tines that stick straight out guide hairs in to be cut along the edge, like a barber's hair trimmers work. So for me it's especially difficult to edge up those few straw mustache hairs around the edges of your mouth or too high above the mustache without accidentally pushing too far down & cutting too much. The less precise edging of the neckline is no problem however.
I also shave my head. This razor is actually really effective for that with 2 caveats: First, you'll wear out that blade super duper quick; two full head shaves (I'm balding, very thin hair on top of head) & then I wouldn't chance it on my face again or I'm sure I'd break out. Second, it takes a little longer than the other style razor I've been using (Phillips Bodygroom, which basically all use the same trimmer head). My Bodygroom causes much more irritation but generally cuts through thicker hair on my head better. With that said, I've been having unacceptable levels of irritation with mine even after buying a new trimmer head so I've had to only use it for part of my head shaving which forces me to finish with the OneBlade so I'm burning through these $12 blades too quickly. For me, I'm not sure it's worth it and I think rather than dropping more money on another thing to replace the Bodygroom I think I'm finally going to just invest in straight razor shaving and use this OneBlade because it's great at minimizing irritation until I get competent at the straight razor. Then I'll just keep the OneBlade for my weekly beard trim & I think it will be perfect.
I'm tired of wanting a fresh clean shaven face & ending up with clean shaven acne from irritating razors and this OneBlade would be a really excellent solution if only the replacement blades were cheaper. I can't say precisely but as I think about it I'm probably using one of these 3-packs a month.
I shave with the OneBlade most days, and most days other people couldn't tell the difference between that shave and a more traditional shave. I do have light colored facial hair, so that may not apply if you have very dark hair. However, the real benefit is the complete absence of irritation when shaving with the OneBlade, my skin is pretty sensitive and even high end foil shavers leave me a bit red and with the occasional nick or breakout. My skin looks great after only using the OneBlade for a few days straight, great alternative to have in the facial hair arsenal. It is not a substitute, however, it only gets to 'very short stubble' phase really. But for most days that's OK. Also have found the blades to last a good long while, and when they do degrade they do so gracefully. That is, it will just become a little slower/harder to get a full shave. In contrast, when a foil shaver starts to degrade, I get increased nicks, cuts, and pulls. Not so with this system.
Gives a truly “close enough”, even close, shave with no irritation. See my full review of the Oneblade Pro shaver here.
These three blades are good for at least 120-150 real world shaves. Compare with Gillette replacement blades best online price of $34 for pack of 16. Seven to ten shaves per Gillette blade is rather optimistic in my experience and irritation is a huge problem. (P.S.: IMHO the whole 5 blade thing is absolutely ridiculous.) Comparable cost at about $0.20 per shave.
Easier shave with no gel or foam required (although it works with both if you prefer). Results pass the credit card test. Best shave ever for sensitive skin.
My husband has the oneblade. He uses it on his facial hair. One day he told me to try it on my legs. I hate shaving, and it takes a lot of time in the shower.
But I tried this, and now I love it! It was my first time dry shaving. It was so nice and easy to use. We bought these replacement heads since leg hair seems to make the blades get dulled a bit quicker.
I plan on purchasing more in the future!
Cuts close enough for government work. However they blade cartridges are very fragile. I've never actually use one to the point where I felt it was to dull to continue using. So far they all have met their early end when the razor has rolled onto the floor or slipped from hand. The thin plastic in the rotating mechanism for the blade is very fragile and doesn't survive much more than a short drop into the sink. Hitting the floor from counter or face height almost always spells death and therefore another $15 blade. Fortunately, the the handle has been bulletproof and through a half dozen drops shows no damage.

Great blade and system. I'm a black man that suffered previously from razor bumps. No more since using the One Blade! Would definitely recommend!
I actually bought this to use as a touch up for the places my electric shaver can’t get to, as I used to use one of this 4 blade razors. This is far far better than both. My electric cost me over $100 and this shaves better and closer with a back and forth ease that really is amazing. With one blade the facial stubble isnt getting clogged between blades like my other one...I’m almost 50 and I can say this is the best razor I have ever had, am getting rid of my electrical and 4 blade
I am a baldy. I have for years had to use a beard and mustache trimmer to shave my head down to stubble first, then go with a standard razor (Gillette sensor 2) to take the hair down to skin. But, with the Philips one blade, I no longer have to do both. The blades last me about 6 months, so the 2 pack lasts about a year. Maybe that is because I don't use it on my course facial hair. I love the convenience of being able to use it in the shower and this keeps the sink clean. Use a good shaving lotion! As far as facial hair goes, I still use my vintage safety razor. I tried the OneBlade for my face, but it just didn't get close enough for my liking on my neck.
Best uses: Head and Body hair
Pros: Easy to use, works in wet conditions, won't knick moles and other things that traditional razors will. Easy to replace the blades. Blades last longer than traditional razors.
Cons: Not a close shave on neckline.
I love the OneBlade system. If gives me the least amount of irritation out of all electric razors I've used. When I saw this sale I had to jump on them. Just remember to cancel your "subscribe and save" AFTER you receive them. I'm not sure why Amazon thinks I need a shipment of these every three blades every two months when the first bullet point in the product description says that the three blades will last a year (and typically I get at least 6 months or more PER blade!)
Let's face it, razors keep getting more and more complicated, and none seem to be a jack of all trades. This razor steps in and fills that void. Yes I can get a closer shave with straight or multiblade non electric, but I cannot get the versatility of this one. I am able to use this razor for any body part without worrying about irritation. Still have to be careful in sensitive areas, as you can knick yourself, but as long as you are careful, this is great. I also generally tend not do develop razor burn with this razor, and if I do, it is significantly less than with standard razors.
