5 Years with OneBlade: Original vs. Pro 360 Review | Legacy Goods
While the original OneBlade is a reliable workhorse, the Pro 360 takes the crown due to its adjustable dial guard, superior blade articulation, and crucial battery life indicator.
In a recent comparison, the Legacy Goods YouTube channel breaks down over five years of experience using the Philips Norelco OneBlade line.
If you are struggling to decide between the standard model and the upgraded Pro 360, this breakdown is essential.
While both tools are effective hybrids between a razor and a trimmer, the difference in daily usability—specifically regarding battery management and guard adjustments—is significant.
We’ve analyzed the review to help you determine which tool belongs in your kit.
The Highlights
Blade Longevity & Performance
Both models utilize the same core dual-edge blade technology that cuts on the top and bottom, functioning like a straight razor without attachments.
The blades are incredibly durable, with the reviewer noting they only need replacement roughly once a year.
The Charging Problem
A major drawback for both units is the lack of USB-C charging.
Both require proprietary cords, and annoyingly, the cords are different for each model.
This complicates travel, as you must pack specific cables rather than relying on a universal tech charger.
Battery Management
The OneBlade Pro is the clear winner here.
It features a digital battery percentage indicator and charges in about 30 minutes.
The original OneBlade has no indicator—leaving you guessing when it will die—and requires overnight charging.
Blade Articulation
The original OneBlade only pivots front-to-back to follow contours.
The Pro 360 adds side-to-side rotation, allowing for better contact with facial angles without needing to hold the razor perfectly flat.
Guard Systems
The original comes with three separate clip-on guards (sizes 1, 3, and 5) that can be inconsistent.
The Pro includes a "Body Kit" and a superior adjustable dial guard.
The dial allows you to change lengths without swapping pieces, keeping the setup secure and streamlined.
What's the verdict?
While the original OneBlade is a reliable workhorse, the Pro 360 takes the crown due to its adjustable dial guard, superior blade articulation, and crucial battery life indicator.
