Philips OneBlade Pro 360 Face Plus Body - Electric Beard Trimmer, Shaver and Razor, with 14-Length Comb and Click-On Skin Guard, Body Comb and Travel Case (Model QP6651/30)

Product Information

This is largely excellent, as the small unit packs a punchy Lithium-ion battery pack that’s good for at least 90 minutes on a full charge. The adjustable comb that’s provided is too bulky and sort of spoils this trimmer’s USP, which is namely that it gives a really nice close shave without a lot of effort, nor the nasty cuts or rash associated with wet shaving. Of course, it's not going to offer the closeness of a wet shave, but I was impressed by how well it chomped at shorter hair and stubble around the jawline and neck, all the while resulting in less irritation than a wet shave would. This does have its downsides though because it isn’t really suited to properly thick beards and won’t be any good for taming wayward sideburns or freshening up a short back and sides.

When he’s not testing the latest fitness wearable and action camera, he’s out in a shed fawning over his motorcycles or trying not to kill himself on a mountain bike/surfboard/other extreme thing. Shave and trim on your face with the 5-in-1 adjustable comb and safely keep downstairs in check with the skin-safe guard. This, Philips says, is unique in how it flexes in different directions to adjust to the curves of the face, reaching difficult areas. Further negatives include swapping the OneBlade itself, which can be fiddly and it feels like it could be easily broken, trampled or lost.It can handle the fuzz but getting an even trim that doesn’t take off too much requires a bit of skill and a deft hand. Dial up one of the 14 locked length settings to get everything from a 5 o'clock shadow to a tight trim, to a longer beard style. This was a souped-up version of the popular face and body trimmer but made with more premium materials and features, such as a brushed steel handle, charging dock and built-in display with battery life indicator.

For starters, the firm has put a whole new spin on the shaver’s detachable blades, which now sport an innovative 360 design that ensures fewer passes are needed to trim hair, resulting in more comfortable operation. But yeah, it’s essentially made of fairly inexpensive, with the only real premium touch being the small digital screen that shows the remaining charge time. OneBlade follows the contours of your face, allowing you to easily and comfortably trim and shave all areas. It is small and light, which is a positive thing, but the diminutive OneBlade attachment is really small and the plastic attachments that lock them in place feel flimsy. Unlike many of the best beard trimmers on the market, the Philips OneBlade Pro uses a unique interchangeable head that looks more like the standard blades you might find on a Wilkinson Sword or Gillette disposable razor.

The fact that it is fully waterproof means it is possible to take it in the shower and it plays nicely with light shaving creams and foams for an even slicker experience. Philips claims the blade technology lasts for four months, based on two full shaves a week, but there have been complaints from owners that they start to dull a bit before this period.

But unlike its distinctly analogue cousins, this blade features an integrated, mechanical cutter that moves 200 times a minute for a very clean, snag-free shaving experience.

Renowned for its fluorescent green and black branding, the shaver has had its fair share of revamps since then, however. He's also a man who knows his tools, and he's provided much of T3's drills coverage over the years, all without injuring himself. The interchangeable OneBlade ensures the shave remains sharp, while the small and light unit is easy to handle and therefore it's easy to achieve super precise results.

Designed for facial styling and body grooming, the Philips OneBlade trims, edges and shaves any length of hair. Instead, the unit works much better if you use it as a traditional razor and in that respect it’s great. There’s also a whole new 5-in-1 adjustable comb included, which aims to give users a more efficient trim without clogging up – even on long and thick hair.The upgraded design really does help improve the trimming experience over previous OneBlade designs. In 2017, we were introduced to the OneBlade Pro– an upgraded model of the shaver that featured a longer battery life, an adjustable comb with 14-length settings, and a more powerful motor. The new Philips Norelco OneBlade Pro 360 Face trims, edges and shaves any length of hair, more effortlessly*. This new attachment is stronger and more reliable, helping the trimmer to slice longer hair down in one go and with fewer tugs. The blade easily reaches those tough areas and the small cutting edge is great for producing that clean, “looks like it was drawn on” perma-stubble that’s trendy amongst Love Island contestants and ageing garage MCs.
