 Amsterdam, the Netherlands – Royal Philips (NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHIA), a global leader in #health technology, today announced the production of its one hundred millionth OneBlade blade. This impressive milestone is testament to the success of the collaborative effort put in by Philips’ grooming innovation team in the Netherlands, who teamed up with other #philips innovation teams around the globe to produce the advanced OneBlade shaving and grooming tool, sharing their expertise and experience. The team keeps on innovating and disrupting the grooming market with new OneBlade solutions, such as the OneBlade Face + Body, and will keep on pushing the boundaries by expanding the ranges and engaging new audiences. The #philips OneBlade subscription-model makes the grooming routine as easy and convenient as possible; new blades get delivered to people’s doorstep.

“At #philips, we believe people should be able to embrace their individuality so they can be what they want to be, not just today but next year and the year after,” said Dominique Oh, Business Leader Grooming and #beauty at #philips. “It’s why our innovation teams continue to develop tools that allow them to achieve the look they want in an easy way or find the look that’s right for them. I am proud to see this unique blade, designed and invented by #philips for OneBlade, reaching the important milestone of 100 million blades produced.”

The must-have styling tool of a new generation
Over the last few years, there has been a major shift in facial hair styles that has completely disrupted the grooming market. People worldwide, especially millennials (18 - 34 year olds), are shaving less, styling more, and expressing their individualism by styling their facial hair. Despite this widespread change in behavior, which had not previously been seen for decades, the tools at their disposal had hardly changed until #philips disrupted the shaving and grooming market in 2016 with a new solution - the OneBlade. This unique single tool allows users to style, trim and edge any length of facial hair in complete comfort and convenience. The OneBlade already boasts over 27 million users worldwide, with the number still growing fast.
