I have been looking into some stuff and for now the Philips oneblade looks like the most interesting option to me, does someone maybe have experience with it? How long do the blades last? Or are there any other alternatives you would recommend?

I've got two electric razors. A Philips one blade and a Panasonic beard trimmer. The one blade is excellent for a closer shave on the skin and it can also trim my beard to a chosen length. It can do everything you will need and do a good job of it too. However, I did find the blades don't last quite so long if I use it daily for trimming my beard and shaving my neck as well. Maybe you'll get 1-2 months from a single blade daily use this way, and replacement blades cost about โ‚ฌ15 for one at worse, or better when buying bulk packs. I didn't want to spend so much so I got the Panasonic beard trimmer at the cost of a few replacement blades for the oneblade to handle trimming my beard. It cannot shave close so it's no good for my neck, but it doesn't need replacement blades at all so by using both together, and as do it twice a week now, I'm using the same blade for about 1 year to 18 months maybe more. When travelling the oneblade is enough on its own.

This is what works nicely for me. YMMV.
