Evening folks hope everyone is keeping well. Today I had my fifth shave with the oneblade core and i must say I'm very impressed so far. My razor arrived last Tuesday after about a three week wait.
Now oneblade did a very good job on the presentation of this razor, I must admit I frankly don't care how something is presented, if it does the job it's supposed to do, that for me is a lot more important. On a side note I think it's presentation stand is a fantastic addition and adds abit of class to my shave cupoard.
When it comes to using the razor it's so straightforward even my brother whose just started shaving could use the razor and load It correctly (he actually used it for a shave). The build is of a high quality and I can think of only one thing that could do with some improvement,the two raised bits of plastic that contribute to stopping the blade from being exposed further, may eventually be worn down or broken off. I think the introduction of a couple of bumps of metal would have been effective at solving this issue. Other than that I can't find fault, the razor has a nice weight to it and to my eye is aesthetically pleasing.
The razor is very mild you can throw it around your face without a worry but it's also very efficient. I got a DFS from just two passes and with another pass was near on Bbs. It has no trouble removing a days growth or three days growth. It was continuously smooth, and maybe even a tad boring for some folk.
People have mentioned the length of time the blades last, I've got my fifth shave out of the blade today and I think it's ready for a a new blade in all honesty. Sure it's not an ac blade or a schick proline that last for fifteen to twenty shaves but i personally don't have an issue with the price per shave in comparison to what I used to pay for cartridge razors.
If the metal oneblade is supposed to be better I would genuinely like to try it because the oneblade core is outstanding. No razor burn or irritation and a quick easy shave.
Just to summarise it's a great razor, easy to use and well worth the money in my opinion anyway.I'll certainly be keeping it in my rotation.
Cheers folks
