Philips One Blade Intimate Wet & Dry Trimmer, White

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] OneBlade Intimate does a fairly good job for a close shave. It is small and compact. It recommends going against the grain but it sometimes catches. Cross cutting is probably the most effective and safer path. Does require the skin to be somewhat tight for the closest shave or will get nicked. Doesn't come with a light and hard to tell battery meter. Charging cord is not a universal connector to the unit in the event your cord gets damaged.

I wish I had purchased this earlier and saved myself a lot of nicks, red skin and pain! It seemed to be a bit expensive at first glance but the razor is well engineered, and easy to manipulate it around difficult contours by holding it with just three fingers. The fact that it does not have a trailing power lead and it is so light weight, is a considerable advantage when trying to shave delicate areas. I discovered that it is better to use it on dry skin. When I used it on wet skin and then towel dried the area, I noticed lots of the finer, lighter coloured hairs had been missed. No fault of the razor, but simply because the hairs were not as visible to me, because they were wet. Shaving on dry skin was not painful. After shaving is complete, I discovered that soaking the area in comfortably warm water and then applying "baby oil", removed any minor discomfort that may have been suffered. The skin is left amazingly smooth. Even two days after shaving, it is not easy to find any hairs. After about four days, there are tiny, perhaps 1mm, fine hairs visible but the smoothness is still there. Although this shaver is primarily intended for the personal areas, I found it was very handy for removing the hairs from my top lip. An area that my Philips three head rotary shaver seems to have a slight problem with.

In summary, the product is satisfactory, but its effectiveness diminishes when used at an angle other than the intended one. This can result in cuts and potential injuries. Additionally, the protective measures provided are inadequate, leading to further cuts. Given its design for sensitive areas, this is a significant drawback of the product.

Blades last about 5 facial shaves for intimate shaving device demonstrates how underpowered it truly is and digs in and make you bleed. Likely safer to use a blunt scissor. At least there would be no open wounds in my pubic region. And finally, if you are able to find replacement heads, they are so insanely expensive it is financially pointless to buy this device in the first place. Save your money.

It worked great till i could get maybe 30 seconds out of this.. i used it for not even a month, irregularly so it wasnt that often.. i cant even use it for more then 30 seconds with out it turning off. Doesnt matter if its actually trimming hair or its just on. Ill recharge it and same thing over and over.. never buying again
