Shaving facial hair
To shave with OneBlade, remove any combs or guards. Your OneBlade is waterproof, so you can shave in the shower or with foam or gel.
-
-
- To shave, make long, slow and steady strokes, applying gentle pressure with the blade flat against your skin. Move the blade back and forth to make use of both sides of the blade.
-
-
- To edge or contour your beard, mustache or sideburns, make short strokes with the blade held perpendicular to your skin. Alternatively, make small strokes with the blade flat against your skin.
- For best results, clean your OneBlade after each use.
Trimming
Some OneBlade models include single-length beard combs for trimming facial hair. The numbers on the combs relate to the hair length remaining after trimming (in millimeters).
Tip: if you are unsure which length you prefer, start with the longest guard available and reduce the length further if necessary.
-
- Hook the back of the comb (the side with the number on it) under the bottom of the blade, then gently press on the front of the comb until it clicks into place.
-
-
- Trim against the direction of hair growth, with the teeth of the comb flat against your skin.
-
- To detach the comb, hold the handle firmly and gently lift the comb off the blade.
- For best results, clean your OneBlade after each use.
Shaving body hair
Areas including your chest, stomach and legs can be in the same way as shaving your face.
Note: to minimize the risk of cuts always use the skin guard when trimming sensitive areas. This includes when shaving your armpits or groin (including scrotum).
-
- If you are using the skin guard, place it onto the blade and gently press until it clicks into place.
- Switch on your OneBlade, and place the blade flat against your skin.
-
- Make long, steady strokes, exerting gentle pressure and allowing the blade to glide across the surface of your skin.
- Tip: on certain areas, using the fingers of your free hand to spread the skin and hold it taut will provide better results.
- The blade and skin guard are double sided. Move the blade back and forth to catch hairs growing in different directions.
-
- Clean your OneBlade after each use. If you used the skin guard, press your thumb onto the exposed flat surface of the blade, and use your fingers to gently pull off the skin guard before cleaning.
Trimming body hair
Some OneBlade models come with a 3mm (1/8inch) body comb that allows you to trim hair on your body below the neckline (for example chest, armpits and groin).
For hygiene reasons, we recommend using the separate body blade provided when trimming body hair.
Note: For delicate areas such as the groin, only trim when a comb is attached.
-
- Place the comb onto the blade and gently press until it clicks into place.
-
- Trim against the direction of hair growth, with the teeth of the comb flat against your skin. The guard is double sided, so you can move your OneBlade back and forth to cut hairs growing in different directions.
- To detach the comb, hold the handle firmly and gently lift the guard off the blade. For best results, clean your OneBlade after each use.
Cleaning OneBlade
-
- Turn on your OneBlade and rinse it under the tap with cold or lukewarm water. If you shave with foam or gel, be sure to remove all residue after each shave.
- Rinse any combs
- Combs and other accessories can also be cleaned under the tap using lukewarm water.
- Allow to air dry
- Allow your OneBlade and accessories to air dry completely before storage.
Note: Do not bang the handle on the sink or any hard surface, a this may damage the product. Do not use a towel or cloth to dry the blade.
Storage
Store your OneBlade in a safe, dry location where it will not be crushed, banged, or subject to damage. To protect the blade, store the product with the protection cap attached. Do not wrap the cable around the product when storing, and do not place or store the product where it can fall or be pulled into a tub or sink, water or other liquid while plugged in.
When to replace the blade
For optimal cutting and gliding performance, we advise you to replace the blade every 4 months or when it no longer provides the shaving or trimming results you expect. Depending on your usage behavior, the exact lifetime of the blade could be longer or shorter.
Wear indicator
A replacement symbol will gradually appear on the blade as you use it. When the replacement symbol is fully visible, it's recommended to replace your blade.
Note that accessories such as guards can prevent the replacement symbol from becoming visible.
Tip: the replacement symbol resembles the arrow icon on the handle of your OneBlade. For older blades, a green rectangle may appear in place of the replacement symbol.
If blade is damaged
If you notice any damage on your blade, please replace it immediately.
