![]() ![]() In recent years, advances in rechargeable batteries have allowed for some cordless trimmers to run for hours on end. Learn more about Philips Norelco's OneBlade in our dedicated review. I broke my first blade in less than two weeks. Don't press too hard, though, or drop the device - the plastic shaving components are pretty delicate (see below). Tilting it to an angle, to where the coated teeth are against the skin, it can sharpen a beard's edges or carve out a mustache (or even mutton chops). When shaving, the OneBlade goes flat against your skin and can go in either direction. I also edged by inverting the blade and pressing it to my skin, which gave me a close enough shave to last a few days and still look put together I used it to trim my beard using one of the attachable guards, which help keep the blade far enough from the skin to only cut the hairs to your desired length. In fact, it’s the shape and size of the trimmer which is its strongest asset: its designed to do one job and it does it well, all packed in a hand-friendly, ergonomic design. That’s also a bonus in our book.Īlthough the OneBlade looks comically simple - it's a tiny blade attached to a medium-sized body - it can do quite a lot. And will save you the trouble of cleaning up – or arguing with your significant other about the mess you left in the sink. It's more than enough to collect the leftovers of a full session of trimming and the included attachments mean you can get the detail you're after. The collection chamber is generous, too, we found, as it trapped a full mane -but for obvious reasons, it can only suck up the hair when it’s in short clippings it’s not like a full-on Hoover or anything (nor could any such device have that capability). Remington's boasts a dual-motor system that delivers high-powered suction to capture up to 90 percent of trimmed hair. It’s just a shame they aren’t more commonplace. That said, beard trimmers with integrated vacuums make the mess a bit (or a lot) less. When cleaning up a beard, it's best to be prepared to clean up the sink, too. Just make sure to oil the blade before each use to ensure a good trim this one does require a little bit of upkeep, but that’s standard for a brand like Andis, which is adored by every barber ‘round the world not just for its charm, but for its precision and ease-of-use, making it a perfect option for any layperson to pick up and pack, too. It can be zero-gapped for a bare-faced trim or left as-is for barely-there stubble. It’s easy to pack, too, and its corded body makes it easier to remember to grab from your hotel bathroom - at least in our experience. Weighing in at 11 ounces, this trimmer is light on the hands for extended use. ![]() It is, above all, an outliner for the edgework, we determined, but with its attachments ( sold separately), it becomes a veritable customizer for the rest of the face. Inside the heavy-duty housing, a quiet magnetic motor powers carbon-steel blades designed for years of use. If you need a precision trimmer to touch up your neck, beard and mustache but want to keep the bulk of your beard intact, this is a solid option.

(Rest in peace, discontinued Philips Norelco Vacuum trimmer you were a trusted trimmer for years, but your demise paved the way for the discovery of our new favorite, the large-bellied Remington.)Īnd, as our scruff keeps growing and the products keep debuting, our testing continues evermore. We ask our coworkers, boyfriends, roommates, fathers, and brothers to see which devices have stuck with them for years at a time. We ask our barbers for their favorites when we sit in their chairs. We have to use the device as it is foremost advertised, be that a trimmer, a detailer, a multitasking body groomer, a travel-friendly pick, and everything in between.
