As the title of this review suggests, I am a big fan of the Philips Norelco Oneblade 360 Pro. This is the only beard trimmer I currently use, I have Experienced a lot of them. But what makes my favorite is the more advanced (more expensive) trimmer?
For beginners, the OneBlade 360 Pro is small and easy to travel. It fits perfectly in my DOPP kit, and it’s much easier to pack with other beauty products than larger, professional style trimmers. I do wish it had a travel lock – it used to be open when I was on the plane and was dead by the time I landed – but hopefully they could be added to the next iteration (which is in line with the negatives this comment will get).
The OneBlade 360 Pro passes all the tests I did. I personally never shave my beard without using a traditional razor. All other trimmers I’ve used are OK, but OneBlade does allow you to have a smooth, baby facial finish – no straight or safe razor is required. I also like the 360 blades that bent in all directions. It does come with your face contour, allowing you to shave, down and through without cutting or irritating your skin, which is especially useful when shave even in urgent work. (However, if you press, be careful also Go into your skin with force and you can still mark it yourself. )
The top story of chaos
What if you do No Want a clean shave? Thanks to the included comb attachment, the Oneblade 360 Pro is also great for trimming bulk and stray hair, which has five different length settings that connect to the 360 blades in either direction. I was able to make my stubble good by working slowly along each setting. Those with longer beards may not find comb attachments too useful, but even if you have Gandalf’s beard condition, you can use regular blades to clean the neckline and cheeks.
The only attachment you need.

Blades are also stars in detail. Putting it perpendicular to your face allows you to fine-tune the edges of your beard and beard, and it performs almost as sharp zero-gap blades you find in a barbershop. The lightweight design of the trimmer is also very helpful during details, giving you more control and preventing your hands from getting tired.
The OneBlade 360 Pro also has some small quality of life details that make it even more essential. One of my personal favorites is the front battery indicator that lets you know when to charge – which prevents me from ending up with a half-shaved face on multiple and frequent occasions. The arrow indicator on each blade is also a good touch, signaling you when changing the blade. Blade replacement is not cheap, but each blade tends to last three to four months at a time, so this is not the one who trades.
I’ve been using the Philips Norelco Oneblade 360 Pro and its predecessors for years and to this day I still haven’t found a better everyday driver trimmer. And it’s under $60, it won’t get better. I can’t see myself switching soon.
