Oneblade

I clicked one OneBlade and by mistake, got Norelco OneBlade. So, out of curiosity, watched a couple videos of it. `Very interesting`, as Sergeant Shultz would say. Does anyone know anything about the silly looking thing?

Yeah, it's crap.

 

Yeah, I think you`re right, I did a lot of research almost all morning and had just about decided to forget it, thank you for nailing it for me. God Bless and great shaves, Bill

 

You're welcome brother. My younger brother tried and hated it. I tried it and felt the same way.

 

I have a Braun electric shaver that I use exclusively on my head. I would use a blade, but too many bumps.

 

I can see that being an issue. I'm only 34, so "hopefully" I've got a few decades. I love using a DE on my head.

 

Just use one of those fancy head shavers with wheels, should smooth everything out

Those are crap. I've got no issue using a DE up top.

 

Can you call something `crap` if it isn't right for you even if cost a lot? I have such an animal, it is called OneBlade Core. I`m going to try 1 more time to make it work. Too spendy to PIF, guess maybe the TSD market. I don`t know, Bill

 

I suppose. I'd say you just didn't get along with it. I've got razors like that myself. The RazoRock mamba is one.

 

I have several razors that don`t pivot, so when I feel the tremors are real quiet, I`ll try one, most usually get a decent shave. For some reason or other I NEED a good DE blade on my face, Bill

 

I was exactly the same with the Razorock Mamba. Only razor that ever gave me serious burn. Then I read about the trick of loosening the head by a quarter turn. It shaves ok like that now. Not the greatest razor but finally useable.

 

I never got burn with it, but I never got an acceptable shave, and I used a Feather in it.

 

Sorry for the necropost but I searched One Blade before posting. I've had one for about 6 months now. It's a decent little razor. It does a fine job on my cheeks. I can get away with not using a manual razor most days with this. The neck is another story I've still got to go over it with a regular razor.

Does anyone use the One Blade as their only face shaver? The blade refills are ridiculously priced that's the only thing that turns me off about it.

 

Guess the marketing geniuses don't look around to see if the name has already been taken. I meant the Norelco OneBlade. Manual and regular razor were meant interchangeable as in a regular safety razor most people use to shave with.

 

True. I was looking for info on the "new" OneBlade (Genesis, Core, etc) and what popped up first was Norelco's razor. Unnecessarily confusing.

 

I have a Oneblade Core and really enjoy it, very easy to use and I receive very good shaves IMO. The weakness is the expensive FHS-10 blades that are only good for a couple of shaves. I modified my Gem blades to get around the Feather blades and to be honest they are better for longevity because I have used Gem blades for some time. Not every one will modify blades. Right now Oneblade has a sale on for FHS-10 blades buy 30 and get 30 free and that is a good deal for that blade.
Oneblade Core gives me a shave range CCS,DFS,BBs range with usually no irritation or weepers and is a single edge to reduce ingrown hairs if that is a issue for some. The Core is on sale for 19.95 at the moment ,comes with stand and a packet of 10 blades and for me it is worth it. Folks might not like it because you have to shave a little differently then a standard DE or SE razor, I found do some dry runs and apply a little pressure(a Taboo for some) and it is hard to cut your self. I found you do a 3 pass shave and results are very Stellar.

Have some great shaves!

 

I bought it at the sale price you mention, and really enjoy the smoothness of the pivoting head and how safe it feels- no weepers or irritation at all. One downside for me is that I find it difficult to properly clean up above my lip area due to the bulky feeling of the top. So far I find that it's not giving me a BBS no matter what soap I use and despite 2-3 passes, but I'm still getting a feel for it and hope that changes.
