Replacement

Usage indicator

For optimal cutting and gliding performance, we advise you to replace the blade every 4 months, when it no longer provides the shaving or trimming results you expect or when the usage indicator appears. The blade is equipped with a useful indicator that gradually turns green. When the green bar is highly visible, it is recommended to replace your blade. Always replace the blade with an original Philips blade. Depending on your usage behavior, the exact lifetime of the blade could be longer or shorter. Similar to a manual blade, the blade becomes blunt over time, which results in increased hair- pulling and reduced cutting performance.

Replacing the blade

1. Push the blade release slide upwards carefully, and hold the blade on both sides to remove the blade. This will prevent the blade from flying off the handle.
2. Hold the new blade on its sides and press it onto the handle (‘click’).

FAQ’s

How frequently may a Philips OneBlade be used?

The blades should be changed every four months, as advised. But this can change based on usage and hair type. The blades might need to be changed earlier than four months if you have particularly thick hair or use the OneBlade often.

Do I use the Philips OneBlade dry or wet?

The Philips OneBlade works well on both dry and wet skin, as well as when using shaving foam or gel. You may use your OneBlade in the shower as well because of its waterproof handle.

How should I use my Philips OneBlade?

For optimal results, begin clipping your hair against the grain and in the direction of the comb’s teeth.

How is OneBlade Pro cleaned?

Blow off any hair that has collected on the blade after each usage, then turn on your OneBlade and rinse it with some lukewarm water.

Why is my Philips OneBlade unlocked?

The travel lock can be turned off by three seconds of pressing the on/off button. When the trip lock is engaged, a padlock symbol will show up on your OneBlade model’s digital display, if it has one.

OneBlade: Is it safe for the skin?

OneBlade is a great electric razor if you detest shaving since you constantly wind up with razor burn or raw skin. It doesn’t make the claim that it will give you a baby’s bottom-smooth shave. In fact, it is obvious that they are marketing this to men who are not searching for it.

How can I tell when my OneBlade has finished charging?

When the light ring stops blinking and turns completely white, your OneBlade is fully charged. To conserve electricity, the light ring will turn off about 30 minutes after your OneBlade is fully charged. The entire charging time for these gadgets is about one hour.

What is the OneBlade battery life?

The OneBlade’s NiMH battery requires an incredible 8 hours to charge. This will give you enough juice to trim your beard for 45 minutes.

OneBlade has complete waterproofing.

OneBlade is totally waterproof, much like the majority of modern electric shavers.

Can OneBlade be washed?

Blow off any hair that has collected on the blade after each usage, then turn on your OneBlade and rinse it with some lukewarm water.

How can I tell when to replace my Philips OneBlade?

When this patch turns entirely green, it’s time to replace your blade.

What makes OneBlade Pro unique?

The two OneBlade Pro versions offer the widest range of shaving lengths, the strongest battery, and the most streamlined design. The sort of storage pouch that comes with each is the only distinction between the two.

What is the OneBlade cut length?

Use one of the four included stubble combs to cut your beard to the ideal length for stubble. 5 o’clock is defined as 1 mm, stubble as 2 mm, a tight trim as 3 mm, and lengthy stubble as 5 mm. The dual-sided blade will give your style a precise edge.
