Philips OneBlade Review: Which of the 6 Models Is Best? | Brio Product Group
We tested all 6 Philips OneBlade models to find the sweet spot between price and performance. While the OneBlade is elite for sharp lines and short shaves, most of the lineup—including the $110 Pro—are "duds." Stick to the middle-of-the-pack options for the best value.
The Philips OneBlade has dominated the grooming scene for nearly a decade, but with six different versions now on the market, it’s easy to get overwhelmed.
Brio Product Group recently put the entire lineup to the test in their video, "Phillips OneBlade Review (All 6 Tested)."
We’re breaking down their findings to help you avoid the overpriced "money grabs" and pick the specific tool that delivers the cleanest edge without wasting your cash.
The Highlights
The "Goldilocks" Zone
The best value lies in the middle of the lineup.
The 360 Face ($37.95) and the 360 Pro ($59.95) are the top recommendations.
The Pro offers a better lithium-ion battery and a sleeker look, while the standard 360 has a superior grip.
Models to Avoid
The "Intimate" model for pubic hair lacks the power to get the job done, and the top-tier Pro Face and Body ($110) is described as a "dud" due to a loud motor, a hazy screen, and a lack of ergonomic grip.
The Maintenance Trap
OneBlade heads are essentially disposable.
Expect to spend about $12 per blade every 3 to 4 months.
To prolong life, keep the blades dry; they are not designed to handle wet hair or constant rinsing.
360 Blade Gimmick
The new "360" blade wiggles sideways, but the review suggests this offers zero real-world benefit.
Since you want a stable head for sharp lines, the wiggling can actually be a drawback.
Capability Limits
Despite the adjustable guards on Pro models, the OneBlade isn't a true beard trimmer.
Its tiny teeth struggle with thick hair and dull quickly if used for bulk removal.
The Bottom Line
The Philips OneBlade is a specialized tool for crisp lines and near-skin shaves, but don't fall for the high-end "Hybrid" or "Intimate" marketing—stick to the mid-range models for the best experience.
