Philips Norelco OneBlade 360 Pro

Scored on 55 verified owner verdicts, from 239 comments read across 8 communities
TL;DR
Most owners are enthusiastic about the OneBlade, praising how gentle it is on skin (fewer razor burns and less irritation than a blade razor, which owners with dermatitis especially value), how long the replacement blades last (often 3-8 months, sometimes over a year), and how well it handles manscaping and body grooming, particularly around the groin. Many also like that it's waterproof for shower use and that the Pro model's bigger battery needs charging less often. A meaningful minority pushes back, though, saying it simply doesn't shave the face as close or as cleanly as a traditional or safety razor, especially on thick hair, and some feel certain versions (like the 5V or 360 Pro) are underpowered compared to older units. There are also recurring complaints about attachment guards that don't stay seated or come loose mid-shave, plastic blade components that can crack or break, and the risk of nicking skin when used without a guard.

62% of 55 verified owners recommend the Philips Norelco OneBlade 360 Pro, based on real owner verdicts aggregated from Reddit, enthusiast forums, and YouTube.

What owners like
  • Replacement heads last a long time before needing swapping, often 3-8 months of regular use and sometimes well past a year · 7 · 13%
  • Excels at manscaping and body grooming, especially the groin area, where owners feel it's safer and better than alternatives · 5 · 9%
  • Gentle on skin: gets close without the razor burn or irritation of a blade razor, which owners with sensitive skin or dermatitis appreciate · 4 · 7%
  • Waterproof and convenient to use right in the shower · 3 · 5%
  • The Pro version's larger battery holds a charge for a long time, meaning far less frequent charging · 3 · 5%
What owners flag
  • Doesn't shave the face as close or as cleanly as a traditional razor or DE safety razor, and can struggle to cut through thick facial hair without multiple passes · 7 · 13%
  • Some owners feel it's underpowered, and several note newer/lower-voltage models (e.g. the 5V unit or the 360 Pro) feel weaker than older or other versions they've used · 3 · 5%
  • Attachment guards can be hard to work with, don't always stay seated, and have come loose or dislodged mid-shave · 3 · 5%
  • Blades and their plastic components can be flimsy and break, sometimes after only a few uses · 3 · 5%
  • Using it without an attachment guard makes it easy to nick or cut the skin · 3 · 5%
Who it's for
A great fit if
  • Sensitive skin prone to razor burn and irritation
  • Body grooming and manscaping, including the groin area
  • Anyone happy with stubble or a five o'clock shadow
  • Head shavers and thick-beard trimming
Look elsewhere if
  • People wanting a close, clean-shaven face
  • Thick-haired users needing a one-pass shave
  • Buyers who need fast charging on the base model

the PRO is better in my opinion

YouTube— neutral

The only downside to these OneBlade razors is the cleanup is awful

YouTube▼ don’t recommend

I returned mine for a rotary style razor.

YouTube▲ recommend

each one lasts me well over 7-8 months before I even consider replacing it

RedFlagDeals Forums— neutral

These are good for body trimming and for touching up eyebrows, sideburns, stuff like this. Using this as a daily razor for your face is dumb, it doesn't do a good enough job.

YouTube▼ don’t recommend

I hate this company.

RedFlagDeals Forums— neutral

I own one of these as well and I think I gravitate to the traditional clipper style more but it just depends on preference at the end of the day IMO - this one feels more like using a razor than a clipper.

YouTube▲ recommend

I have this it’s just awesome

YouTube▼ don’t recommend

Dont buy it, cheap plastic, broke after few uses.

YouTube▼ don’t recommend

which is annoying

RedFlagDeals Forums— neutral

I have and I personally find that when it works its a great shave up top but i have broken far too many of the blades as the springs are very flimsy.

YouTube▲ recommend

tried it out, and it’s really great

YouTube▼ don’t recommend

wait till 10 shaves and blades arent sharp anymore

RedFlagDeals Forums— neutral

Good, but expensive if you count total expenses per year. I shaved every 3 days and a razor lasted only 2-3 month. Chinese replacement is horrible.

Reddit▲ recommend

I'd recommend the Philips Norelco OneBlade 360 Pro. After looking at a lot of reviews I thought it was a "hype" product and got it with low expectations. Definitely lived up to the reviews and some.

YouTube▲ recommend

This product feels like playing with cheat codes on

RedFlagDeals Forums▼ don’t recommend

I had the OneBlade Pro and found it to be a weak trimmer. It might work well for anyone with a short beard, or someone who doesn't like using a razer i guess.

RedFlagDeals Forums— neutral

it works great for getting through facial hair it won't give you the nice smooth shave like a razor would, but clean enough to be presentable

RedFlagDeals Forums— neutral

Not for the face, a good DE safety razor is superior. The OneBlade does have a minimal learning curve though any is good for other areas

RedFlagDeals Forums▼ don’t recommend

I think it doesn't shave good at all. I have a brand new one under the sink since about a year and every time I stumble on it I ask myself why I bought it...

YouTube▲ recommend

the Phillips one blade which is a excellent device

RedFlagDeals Forums— neutral

I use my costco oneblade every few days and it's great, I will admit though one very frustrating thing is sometimes the attachments don't stay on very well and I've had them come dislodged midstroke in the past and completely **** up my beard.

Reddit⚠ product link▲ recommend

It shaves close but does make in grown. It is just the tiniest difference from and actual razor. You will be impressed. I have purchased these for multiple people in my family for faces and other body areas.

Slickdeals▼ don’t recommend

I purchased this last year and have been highly disappointed with the results. It doesn't shave the face close at all. Works well for the body though.

one and got the closest I’ve been able to but I wouldn’t try it until you’ve recovered. The way it works relays on pressure and one bit of syncopation and you might pull a hair.

RedFlagDeals Forumsⓘ good to know

Mine goes for a few months, using 3-4 times per week. My teenage sons blade has been on his for 6 months, but his facial hair is minimal and whispy. There is a built in wear indicator on the blade head.

RedFlagDeals Forumsⓘ good to know

I have used one of these for years now. I shave typically every 2-3 days with it. I find the blade to last about 3 months.
