Philips OneBlade vs. Multigroom 7000 vs. Beard Trimmer 3000 – Which one is best?

Shaving is one of those tasks that we must do every few days, but that can damage our skin the most if we do not choose the right tool. Especially if you are one of those people with high sensitivity and you tend to get redness when you touch anything. It happens to us and, for this reason, we always tend to opt for those shavers that offer a guarantee of quality and trust. And, if there is a brand that knows how to do it, it is Philips. Therefore, today we bring you a comparison between three very interesting series of Philips shavers: OneBlade, Multigroom and Beard Trimmer. 

One of the most important differences between the three ranges is that not all of them are suitable for shaving the face and body, which makes the versatility very different. In this aspect, the Philips Beard Trimmer is the one that most reminds us of the traditional barber, and with it we cannot also shave our chest, as we can with the Multigroom. The type of blades is another of the big changes between the three ranges, as well as the number and type of guide combs they have.

Autonomy is another aspect where we see the most disparity, and it is the Multigroom series that takes the cake in this regard. On the other hand, you should check if the three shavers allow dry and wet use, although we already told you that there is one of them that is only a dry trimmer. That said, we only have to go into details to compare the three shavers and know which one best suits our needs. And, as we always do, we will show you our definitive conclusion. Take note!

Philips OneBlade vs Multigroom 7000 vs Beard Trimmer 3000 – Comparison Table

Three shavers with different systems

One of the things we like most about Philips is the versatility of models it has within the same brand, and this comparison is the best example of this. We are looking at three ranges of shavers that have nothing to do with each other, and that have completely different technologies and shaving systems.

The Philips OneBlade range is what we can consider the most technological and innovative, and, in addition, it has a design with which it is easy to distinguish it from the rest thanks to the intense green color. This is the only one of the three that has a flexible head, which is due to the contour following technology that this shaver is designed with. In addition, it is perfect for face and body.

For their part, the Philips Multigroom 7000 and Beard Trimmer 3000 have a fixed head. The Multigroom 7000 is designed with DualCut technology, with double blades, and is an all-round shaver, ideal for the face, hair and body. On the other hand, the Beard Trimmer 3000 is a shaver that can only be used on the face, but not for body hair. Its Lift & Trim system works so that the guide comb lifts the “hairs” of the beard at the level of the blades, so that the cut is more uniform.

Fixed or disposable blades

Another of the most important differences between these Philips shavers is the durability of the blades. In the Philips OneBlade, the blades are changed approximately every 4 months, although it is the shaver itself that tells you this thanks to the light warning. On the other hand, the Multigroom 7000 and Beard Trimmer 3000 shavers have fixed self-sharpening blades. That is, in this case, the blades are sharpened as they wear down using their own friction system. They are designed to last several years without you having to change the shaver. Likewise, it should be noted that the blades of the Philips Multigroom 7000 are double.

Accessories and shaving surface

The set of accessories with which each blade is equipped gives us an idea of ​​the versatility of use it offers. As you know, the simplest, in this sense, is the Philips Beard Trimmer 3000, which can only be used on the face. Therefore, it only has the main blades and a trimmer to touch up the sideburns or mustache if necessary. For this reason, it is the only one of the three shavers that cannot be used wet, but only dry.

In the case of the Philips OneBlade, it is an ideal shaver for both the face and body hair. To do this, it has 3 guide combs that offer 3 different lengths. For its part , the Philips Multigroom 7000 is perfect for the face, body hair and hair, and for this reason it has 8 different guide combs.

As a curious fact, the Philips Multigroom and Beard Trimmer have a simple travel case, while the Philips OneBlade does not have this accessory, which we find quite useful.

Beard length also changes

The beard length range is an important aspect if you are going to buy a shaver and one that you should take into account. In the case of Philips OneBlade, the range of lengths is only 3, and they range between 1 and 5 mm. The Philips Multigroom has about 14 lengths, although it has the widest range, between 1 and 16 mm. For its part, the Philips Beard Trimmer has 20 lengths.

But, although it has longer lengths, the range is smaller than in the case of the Multigroom, and is between 0.5 and 10 mm. This means that the length intervals are smaller than in Multigroom, which translates into more precision and accuracy. But, if you have a rather thick beard, the most recommended is the Multigroom, because it is the one with the thickest.

What is the autonomy of each shaver?

Now, let’s look at the differences when it comes to battery life, there are some. What catches our attention the most is the difference in the time they take to charge, which is 1 hour in the Philips Multigroom and Beard Trimmer, but rises to 8 hours in the case of the OneBlade. Above all, it is more striking considering that this is the one with the least autonomy, as it lasts about 45 minutes, slightly less than the 60 minutes of the Beard Trimmer and below the 120 minutes of the Multigroom.

It is worth mentioning that the Philips OneBlade Pro model takes only one hour to charge.

Philips OneBlade vs Multigroom 7000 vs Beard Trimmer 3000: Which shaver is for you?

At this point in the comparison, we can confirm that there is no Philips shaver that is better than another, but that they are designed so that each one better meets the needs depending on the type of beard that each man has. For example, if you have a thinner beard and you like to keep it short, the Philips OneBlade can be a great alternative, because the head is flexible and the blade is a good length for this type of hair. Additionally, it can be used dry or wet.

On the other hand, if you like to keep your beard longer or your beard grows thicker and you need a firmer blade for it, the best system is the self-sharpening fixed blade of the Philips Multigroom 7000 or Beard Trimmer 3000. The difference between these two lies Whether you’re looking for a shaver just for your face or one for your entire body. This difference justifies the price difference between the Multigroom and Beard Trimmer, while this is much lower between the OneBlade and the Multigroom.

In short, this is one of those comparisons in which the choice depends exclusively on you, and not so much on the quality of the shaver. In all three cases, Philips offers the highest possible quality, but they are designed in a way that responds to different needs. Therefore, reflect on what yours are and it will be easier for you to get it right.
