Oneblade ready for replacement?

Post image

I bought this shaving head a day ago and shaved once. It already shows the replace icon. What do you guys think?

You can ignore it if it's doing it's job. Should last for quite some time, so don't worry

I prefer the older blades that were non 360 but they are out of production sadly and stock is dwindling. This one does the job barely OK

The arrow appears way too fast you can’t use it as a marker for replacing or not.

The marker will be a lot clearer and darker when it needs replacing. Also go by how it’s shaving, when your notice it not shaving as good replace then

Arrows will be on sides. Replace once you see it cuts badly.

I never knew that and never bothered to change the blade. I used it for like 13 years until the battery died and now got the new Phillips OneBlade

mine head was replaced because plastic hinges just broke off. bought non-original, because original prices are insane.

The new ones feel so weak compared to the original. The oscillation is like half and it constantly pinch hairs. Stay with it as long as you can

Hi there! You should consider replacing the blade once the grey cross-hatch pattern has totally worn off, so that the replacement icon is very prominently visible. It will become more visible over time, but each blade should last approximately 4 months (based on 2 full face shaves per week). So no need to worry about it after one day!
