To all who bought from my post last week:
The online automatic price matching form didn't work for me, but BestBuy's price adjustment was quick and painless, and I did it entirely in the chat from the product page ("Chat Now" directly below the add to cart button). When connected with a virtual agent, click:
"Help with a Previous Purchase" > "Price Match" > "Product I've Ordered" > "Requesting a Price Match" > "Chat with an Agent" > "Chat with a Live Customer Care Agent".
All I sent through the chat was a link to the product and my order number, and the agent processed the refund to my card hassle free (total amount $10.60 with 6% sales tax).
FYI, in case you didn't use a credit card, here's an excerpt from the refund confirmation email I received while still connected to the chat:
Hope this helps! I'm happy with the product and this price just makes it that much better. If you're a fan of the OneBlade, you won't find a more premium model out there. If you're upgrading from a green one like I did (mine was a QP2520) I think you'll be impressed by how much of an improvement this is (at least I was).

Oneblade
Closer shave while normally avoiding razer burn
Dry/wet use
Reasonable trimmer
Frequent blade replacement
7000
Electric Shaver
adjustable clipper
blades rarely need replacement.
More of a Dry shaver, as wet can be hit or miss.
Thank you! Mainly looking to trim my beard. 7000 is better I'm guessing
7000 will trim well. Slightly weaker at edging. Rare blade replacement. Maybe ok shaver.
Both will keep a beard Trim well enough...Just a mater of how the shave and reoccurring cost.

I've been using a regular Norelco face shaver on my head daily for the last 15+ years. Shaving my head is easier than shaving my facial hair.
I tried a lot and am very happy with pitbull, it's a little expensive but has worked the best and quickest for my coarse head hair.
The Philips one blade platform is more of a trimmer than a shaver, so you'll still have stubble after you use it. Additionally, when the blades are fresh, they do an amazing job at trimming, but I find they do not last as long as more traditional shear based systems, so you will end up paying more on the replacement blades. I like the convenience they offer and you can get a subscription for the blades directly from Philips or from Amazon. But if you are trying to save money, I'd just stick to the ones you can find at TJ Maxx.

I read all the comments and don't feel like I got a clear answer on this particular model use for the body. What are your thoughts? I see that with the green and this there is an extra body kit but this deal does not include it. If My main focus is a body trimmer and don't want to spend the extra to get the body kit, would this work? The adjustable guard makes sense but is the optional comb necessary? Thanks in advance!

Shaving
Razor> Electric Shaver> One Blade > Trimmer
The one good advantage of the Oneblade is it handles longer beards well. SO if you are shaving for the first time after a long time it is a great tool. Otherwise it tends to leave about a days growth compared to shaving with a razor. You could also use a trimmer with a comb and then shave with a razor. You could also just use a straight Razor.
Electric shavers tend to be least messy.
Triming
Oneblade = good trimmer > bad trimmer >>rest
One blade with the adjustable guard does a great job at trimming. Better edger then most trimmers. Better shaver then trimmers. Negative is blade cost and potentially messier then some trimmers.
Overall the main advantage is that it is one tool which can handle all tasks reasonable well. The shave is about as close as you would normally find at five if you shaved with a razor in the morning. Trimming is as good or better than most trimmers. Edger is great as well. Negative is a potentially a little messy and the blades last for 36-50 shaves or so. Not sure how well they last wet versus dry etc.It gives less razor burn then most options.
Basically just about picking the right tools for you...
