Philips OneBlade 360 Connected QP4631/65

I have been using the Oneblade for about 3 weeks now and quite a few things have changed compared to the old model. This fits a lot better in the hand and comes with a storage case. This is especially easy when on the road, but at home it is an extra step to remove the Oneblade from the case. The advantage is that you will not easily lose the large attachment. The disadvantage is that not all supplied attachments fit in the case. The large attachment is adjustable so you can trim to multiple lengths. I use the Oneblade to contour my beard and trim my eyebrows. I also use it to trim my mustache. The Oneblade is good to use here. To trim the entire beard I have a separate clipper, which has just a little more power to get through the coarse beard hairs. I touch up the contours daily or once every 3 days. It gets the neck smooth enough not to have to shave. I haven't used the Oneblade for body hair yet.

Oneblade is practical. Easy to use and clean. The update with a tilting head is certainly a plus! A previous version had the battery percentage on a display on the device, which you must see via the app. It works, but is more cumbersome. The app gives nice explanations about how to shave various types of beards, but the profile via the photo mode is funny, but actually unusable. It might give you an idea of how this type of model would look on you. But symmetry for what it is intended for does not work in my experience. The on and off button is in a place that meant I regularly turned off the oneblade while shaving. Holding it differently is the solution, but ergonomically I still hold it at the on and off button as standard. Creating clean lines is a breeze with this device. And comes with a practical carrying box, but it's a pity that there is no room for the charging cable.

The specifications state that you can trim a beard to 10 mm, but in reality it is 5 mm. According to the instructions, you should “float” the device over your beard to get 10 mm, so they might as well recommend 25 cm. I bought this device to trim my beard (with my previous device 12-14 mm) and thought that 10 mm would be manageable. Unfortunately, that is not the case and I regret this purchase.
