Welcome to Wishlist After Dark, folks! Tonight it's the Philips Norelco OneBlade Trimmer and Shaver, one little blade that trims, edges and shaves. It's the perfect gift for the guy who does all three. And with me, the happiest expert in the building, Sunny, plus the woman who reads every review so you don't have to, Penny Pickwell! Hi everyone! Marty, I've been waiting all day for this one. And I brought the fine print.
Go on, Marty, sell it. Okay, Sunny. One blade really trims, shapes edges and shaves? It really does! The maker says it works wet, dry or with foam, on the face and the body, and it rinses clean. That's the whole list. Wait, wet too? Okay, so what's the clever bit? Target's listing says the blade flexes to follow his face. I can just picture him opening it and retiring his old trimmer on the spot! And look at this, folks: five length options for trimming!
One thing on the sink instead of a whole drawer full of gear. My turn. On Target it's rated 4.43 out of 5 from 3,216 ratings. Lovely. But some buyers report charging trouble. Oh no, really? What kind of trouble? A few say the battery just stopped charging, and the cord's U S B-A with no wall plug in the box. Target lists about eight hours of charging for up to 45 minutes of use. Okay, but Penny, is it a close shave?
It's a trimmer-shaver, so buyers say make sure he wants that and not a classic razor's close shave. Still, here's how one BuzzFeed reviewer put it. Scores, team! I'm at eight point four, because three jobs in one handle is just plain fun. Sunny? Eight point oh from me! It rinses clean and works wet or dry, so it fits his routine either way. I'm at seven point three, for those charging reports. That makes the After Dark Score seven point nine, number two of two on our beauty board.
Buy it for the guy who trims, edges and shaves. Credit to the maker, Target buyers and BuzzFeed! The link's on our site and in the description. See you next time, folks!
