Operating Instructions

The Philips OneBlade is designed for trimming, edging, and shaving. It can be used wet or dry, with or without shaving foam.

Trimming

Attach one of the trimming combs (1mm, 3mm, or 5mm) for an even trim. Move the OneBlade against the direction of hair growth for best results. The Contour Following Technology allows the blade to adjust to your face and body contours.

Edging and Styling

To create clean lines and sharp edges, remove any comb and use the blade directly against the skin. The dual-sided blade allows for precise edging in either direction.

Shaving

For a close shave, use the blade directly on the skin without any comb. The unique blade design ensures skin protection, minimizing nicks and cuts. Note that the OneBlade does not shave as close as a traditional razor, but provides a sharp zero trim.
