Philips OneBlade QP2724 (Norelco OneBlade 360 Face)
Stubble and short beards on a small budget
One hybrid blade trims, edges and shaves, so a single tool keeps stubble and beard lines tidy.
The best trimmers & shavers, at three levels
Pick by the result you want: a hybrid blade for stubble and beard shaping, or a full shaver for a close daily shave. Foil heads cut slightly closer on short stubble and rotary heads run quieter; replacement blades and heads are a running cost either way.
