I’ve been forever using Gilette’s with a battery (they call it Power) because it gives the clean shave of blades but with less friction, aside from how much the blades cost i’m really happy with it. But I want to try some alternatives, does anybody now if there is another brand doing something similar? I’d argue it is quite easy to do, (it is just a vibrator in the handle) but never seen it.
The Phillips OneBlade sounds very similar.
Yeah I’ve looked at them before and they seem to be more like a machine than my vibrating razor handle. It’s a good suggestion although reading other comments in this thread I’m now thinking of giving shaving with a safety razor a go. People told me it is cheaper and more sustainable than these cartridges, so why not at least try it. If I don’t like it, I will consider getting a OneBlade I guess. Although I believe all of Philips consumer electronics are now from a Chinese company
and the only money staying in Europe is for licensing the brands name, so there is that too.Edit: Consumer electronics division is now indeed owned by a Chinese private equity firm, but ‘Personal Health’ such as razors and electric toothbrushes is not part of that division.

I’ve found their blades, at least, not very good.
My go-to has always been Feather, they’re genuinely good, sharp, smooth blades. While they’re not European (but Japanese), they also aren’t from the US so perhaps the recommendation is within the community’s spirit?
