- Hi I'm Parris, and six months ago,
I first tried out the Philips One Touch.
Did a video review of it and decided,
though it worked pretty well,
it wasn't quite what I was looking for.
I've used it off and on in the six months since.
But the last week, I've been using it daily
because I'm in the middle
of a gray reducing shampoo review that I'm doing,
and my hair has gotten so dark while my beard
was still light gray, decided it looked kinda funny.
Went to shave it off and used this,
and actually I liked it a lot more than I did 6 months ago
and I've been shaving with it daily since.
Let me what's changed and let me give you
an update on how this is doing.

- In my review of the Philips One Touch,
I remarked that if this worked out,
it would be great because then I would only need
to bring one device with me when I traveled
to take care of shaving and trimming my beard.
I wasn't impressed enough with it
to give up my rotary shaver,
but on a trip that I have planned this month,
I think this might be the only grooming tool I bring along.
The OneBlade's are a rechargeable shaver, trimmer.
It holds a charge for a long time.

And you're probably not seeing the blade move there.
This is the blade right here, there's no rotary action.
It's just back and forth reciprocating action
on both the front and back sides of this.
When the blade gets dull,
after they estimate about four months,
you just pop it off and put on a new one.
This goes for about 35 dollars, replacement blades are 15.
Find out more about it at the link down below this video.
So I took yesterday off from shaving,
so at least I give it a little something to work with.
Let me show you now how,
I think maybe my shaving technique with this has improved.
I saw some comments that going in longer strokes
actually tended to work better, let's try that.
(buzzing)
I think I'm not as afraid of it,
now that I've had more experience
and I haven't cut myself badly with it.
I think the first day, I was a little worried,
I catched some skin in it.
One thing that hasn't changed with this,
is that the hair pieces are really tiny,
but they're everywhere, they're not collectible.
Does a pretty good job
of following the contours around the chin,
And you can go this way if you like.
You can do this wet or dry,
I usually do a dry shave with it.
Okay now this is the point
where I had trouble with it a year ago.
What I didn't like is it wasn't as close as a rotary shave
or a regular safety razor shave right here.
There's just the tiniest bit of stubble,
which is what this intended to do.
It's supposed to give you a stubbly look.
But I don't like the stubbliness around here,
so what's changed in that regard is,
I don't mind it as much anymore
because I like using this now.
And clean up involves getting basically a wet wipe
or a wet piece of tissue paper
and cleaning up underneath where you were standing.
So if you're looking the scruffy look,
the OneBlade is really good at that.
It's not gonna give you a shave as close a rotary shaver,
but that's the charm of it
is that you have that little bit of scruffy look.
So I like it because with this one device,
now since I'm willing to not be OCD
about the little bit of stubble around the edge of my lips,
I can bring this and I can shave, I can trim the sideburns,
I can do eyebrows, whatever needs to be done,
without having to bring my rotary shaver,
and the cord for that,
as well as the beard mustache trimmer and the cord for that.
When I get done with this review of the shampoo
and my hair grows back to a sort of more natural shade,
and I bring the beard in, if I have to shave it off again,
this took about a minute and a half
to take off the beard and the mustache.
And at that point, it was like it looks now.
It was already that close to the skin.
So I'm liking this more as time goes by.
If close enough is good enough, it might work for you too.
I think I'm gonna order another blade for this
when I get back from my trip
and I should be good for probably another six months.
