Philips OneBlade

If you’re after something that can trim, shave and shape any length of hair, this little guy is gonna be your new best mate. With this gadget, you’re guaranteed a shave that’s faster (with a cutter that moves 200 times per second – jeez!) and safer, thanks to a dual-protection system. So say hello to the most comfortable shave you’re ever gonna get. It also includes three stubble combs that’ll help you trim your scruff down to the millimetre – 1mm, 3mm or 5mm, to be precise. And with the contour-follow feature, you’ll be able to reach all areas of your face and neck so easily. If you’re all about the edge, you can straighten up your style in seconds with the dual-sided blade, which allows you to shave in both directions and see every hair you’re cutting.
