Scam - Blades go dull super quick!
This is one of those scams where they make a product that is good while it lasts but is MADE TO FAIL FAST so they can sell you replacement blades. They even have a subscription program for getting new blades every three months. I bought this to shave my head and trim my beard to length. I use it about two or three times a week. These blades go dull after roughly three weeks - at max and cost $9 a blade if you buy 2-packs on Amazon. Functionally speaking, I've never had a shaver that performed this well (when it's new!). It does the best job out of many electric razors I've tried. But after you realize you'll be replacing blades so frequently - the math starts to make less and less sense. I've had this thing for maybe six months now and I'm pretty sure I've spent over $100.... knowing that I'm going to be spending $18 every month for blades.... that doesn't make sense considering the other electric razors I've used still work after YEARS and I've never once replaced the blades. I just prefer the One Blade because of how small it is and how close the initial shave was. Dream product - blades are MADE TO WEAR OUT QUICK. I am searching for another product. Don't feed this company reward money for making a product designed to fail so they can hook you for blade subscriptions!
