innovative tool that can trim, edge and shave any length of hair so

STAMFORD, Conn., June 21,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Philips Norelco knows that draft
night is among the biggest moments of any top professional
basketball prospect's athletic career. All eyes will be focused on
the stage as players step to the podium brimming with energy,
excitement and confidence that is rooted in years of hard work and
dedication to the game. This summer, Philips – a global leader
in health technology – is helping rising basketball stars look and
feel their best with the launch of "Team OneBlade," a collective of
top talent – Paolo Banchero,
Jaden Hardy, Chet Holmgren, and Jalen
Williams – who use Philips Norelco OneBlade to shape, shave
and show up for the moments that matter most.
At the heart of Team OneBlade is Philips Norelco OneBlade, these
prospects' go-to grooming tool. OneBlade is as versatile in its
abilities, agile in its movement, and smooth in its delivery as the
players are on-court.
"Not only do the Team OneBlade players embody superior talent
and skill on the court; they're also at the top of their game in
grooming and styling" said Rafael Viestel da Silva, Philips
Grooming and Beauty Marketing Director. "We know how monumental the
draft can be for future stars, and Philips is proud to help Team
OneBlade trim, edge and shave so they look and feel their best on
draft night and the hardwood."
