Has anyone tried the Philips Norelco OneBlade?
I broke down and bought one a couple weeks ago and love it. I've tried virtually everything except a straight razor and found most methods lacking. Traditional wet shaving works best, but takes time to properly lather up and I always end up with razor burn. I've tried a variety of disposable, DE Safety, and other types of razors, all failing me in one way or another. I've tried dry electric razors, but they struggle with my curly beard and dry my face out. Wet electric razors with shaving cream miss even more hair. Also, if I miss a day or two with the electric, I have to shave with a blade because most electric razors can't cope with more than a day's growth.
The OneBlade? Dry, it shaves as well as the best traditional electric razor I've used, but doesn't make my face feel dry. It also handles long beard whiskers and curly ones. Short, long, doesn't matter. Wet with shaving cream/gel, it's as close as a blade, but without the razor burn or nicks. I typically shave ever 2-3 days, so this fits my needs perfect. If I need or want a particularly close shave, I can lather up and get that shave. Otherwise, I just hit it a couple times a week dry and it keeps things under control. :)
I'm sold. Highly recommended. I need to get a 2nd one for travel.
