The Philips OneBlade QP2724/20 is the face version of Philips’ hybrid styler: one tool that trims a beard to an even length, cuts sharp edges along the cheek and neck lines, and shaves stubble down close to the skin, wet or dry. Its cutter moves 12,000 times a minute behind a dual-sided blade with rounded tips, and a single clip-on 5-in-1 comb sets five lengths from 1 to 5 mm. It runs for up to 45 minutes on a full charge over USB, and the body is waterproof, so it can go in the shower.

What the Philips OneBlade QP2724 Does
Most grooming routines split the job across three tools: a trimmer for length, a detailer for lines, and a razor for the clean areas. The Philips OneBlade QP2724/20 puts those three jobs on a single blade. Without a comb it shaves hair of any length down to a very short stubble; with the comb fitted it trims to a set length; and turned onto its narrow edge it draws the line between beard and bare skin.
That suits the short, shaped beards and stubble styles that are common in the UAE, where many men keep a groomed beard rather than a bare face. Instead of a clipper plus a razor, one Philips OneBlade QP2724 handle covers the daily tidy-up in a few minutes, and it is small enough to pack for travel.
The Philips OneBlade QP2724 Blade: 12,000 Movements a Minute, Rounded Tips
Philips states that the cutter moves 12,000 times per minute, which works out at 200 movements every second. The blade is dual-sided, so you can move it up or down the face and it cuts in both directions. That matters around the jaw, chin and neck, where hair grows in several directions and a one-way blade tends to miss patches.
Protection comes from what Philips calls a dual protection system: a glide coating that helps the blade slide over the skin, and rounded tips on the teeth so they do not dig in. Philips sums it up as a blade designed to cut hair, not skin. The trade-off of that design is covered in the section on who it does not suit, below.
The 5-in-1 Comb: Five Lengths From 1 to 5 mm
The QP2724/20 ships with one adjustable comb that clicks between five settings: 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 mm. You set the length once and run it over the whole beard for an even result. At 1 mm you get a light shadow, around 3 mm a classic stubble, and at 5 mm a short full beard.
Take the comb off and the same blade shaves. For a crisp cheek line or a clean neckline, hold the Philips OneBlade QP2724 with the blade edge against the skin and draw the line in one stroke. The narrow edge shows exactly where you are cutting, which is harder to judge with the wide head of a standard clipper.
Battery, Charging and Use With Water
Power comes from a rechargeable lithium-ion battery. The official Philips user manual for the QP2724 lists 45 minutes of use from a full charge, and a full charge takes 8 hours. It charges through a USB cable; Philips specifies a USB adapter or port rated 5 V with at least 1 A, so a standard phone charger does the job. When the battery runs low the motor slows down, which is your cue to plug it in.
The handle is waterproof, so you can shave in the shower or with shaving foam or gel, then rinse it under the tap with cold or lukewarm water. Philips advises against drying the blade with a towel or cloth, since that can damage the teeth, and recommends replacing the blade at least once every four months, or sooner if it shows signs of wear.
Who This Is Not For
If you want a completely smooth, skin-level finish like a manual multi-blade razor, the Philips OneBlade QP2724 is the wrong tool. Its teeth are designed to stay off the skin, so it leaves a very short stubble rather than a razor-smooth face. And with the longest comb setting at 5 mm, it is not meant for longer beards or for cutting the hair on your head.
The 8-hour charge is slow, so plan to charge it overnight rather than just before you leave. This QP2724/20 set is for the face and comes with the 5-in-1 comb only; if you also want to groom body hair, Philips sells other OneBlade sets with a body comb and skin guard. Replacement blades are a recurring cost every few months.
