Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days doesn’t kick off until October 6, but we’re already seeing some early deals ahead of the two-day event, including a discount on one of my favourite razors.
The Philips OneBlade Hybrid 360 is currently down to £34.99 at Amazon UK, giving you 36% off its £54.99 MSRP. It’s not officially part of Prime Big Deal Days just yet, but with the main sale still a little way off, it’s a decent early saving if you’re in need of a new shaver and trimmer.
If you’re looking for a few extra attachments, there’s also the set with 3X 360 Blades, 4X Stubble Comb (1,2,3,5mm), and 1x Body Kit down to £42.99 at Amazon right now as well.
I’ve been using various OneBlade models for years, and wherever I’ve used them, they’ve generally done a great job. Facial hair, chest hair, the ol’ back fluff – the OneBlade is surprisingly versatile.
What I like most, though, is how comfortable the shave feels. I’ve used plenty of razors that leave my skin feeling itchy or looking a little blotchy afterwards, but I’ve found the OneBlade does a much better job of avoiding that. The 360 blade helps here, as it can flex to follow the contours of your face and reach those awkward spots, which for me is the bit underneath my jawline.
This particular model comes with three blades, along with stubble combs that act as guards for 1mm, 2mm, 3mm and 5mm trims. There’s also a 3mm body hair comb for taking care of, ahem, the less facial areas. We’ll leave it at that.
I’m also a fan of the battery life. As someone who shaves little and often, I don’t find myself having to charge the OneBlade particularly frequently, with up to 45 minutes of shaving time per charge. When it does eventually run out, you can top it back up using the included USB-A cable.
At £34.99, this is a decent saving on a razor I’ve personally got plenty of use out of. Just bear in mind that Prime Big Deal Days itself doesn’t begin until October 6, so if you’re holding out for the main event, there’s always a chance we’ll see further discounts once the sale officially gets underway.
