I have been looking into some stuff and for now the Philips oneblade looks like the most interesting option to me, does someone maybe have experience with it? How long do the blades last? Or are there any other alternatives you would recommend?

    Safety razors are pretty much as easy to use as a disposable as long as you make sure its tight before you start and its way more cheap.

    I can highly recommend philips oneblade. Has been one of my best product purchases in 5 years. Been really happy with it.

    The only problem I have with it is that you can’t use it while it’s charging (it’s usable in shower so that’s a safety measure, and the battery lasts quite long).

    Edit: I’ve found that single blade lasts me 3 months with almost daily use and cleaning it properly. Probably longer but I felt like 3 months was the prime amount with my usage to change.

    I’ve recently bought an electric shaver (foil) Braun 5 series, and am very happy with it. It shaves clean (even without foam or gel, but can be used with), but is optimal for short hair (1-2mm), so need to shave at least once per 2-3 days. Using it for head and face.

      My bad, I thought Braun is still a German company. According to wikipedia, it’s a subsidiary of Procter&Gamble.

        I was the same Tbo for some I thought Gillette was also german, then I saw the p&g on the packaging… Then I thought I would switch to Braun just to find out they are also under p&g…

        That is why I come here to ask people’s opinions 😊

    Learn to use razor blades. They’re better that you think and are good economically. Also, they’re much more ecological. On the other hand Phillips is the opposite. I just had to throw away a oneblsde shaver because its battery died and they make them very hard to replace.

      Or safety razors if you don’t want to deal with a learning curve. Ridiculously cheap as well-- I’m embarrassed at how long I spent paying for those stupid 5 blade things.

      Just check the source of your blades.
      My favourites (well, the cheapest decent ones) turned out to be from russia.
