What's the difference? I'm really happy with the one I have and I got mine from the first batch but if there is an updated version I'd be interested to see what the difference is.
Here's a summary of the email they sent round:
#1: Adding Back “Blade Lift Points†➞ More Aggressive Shave
Chief amongst updates made is the addition of
blade lift points which are incorporated into our GENESIS razor (pictured below) but were purposely omitted from our first round of CORE units.
These points subtly “lift†the blade to ensure an even amount of space above and below the blade within our 0.65mm gap design. Not having these points doesn't mean that our ideal exposure can't be reached, but a user is required to apply more pressure to achieve this. And as a result, the typical shave tends to feel a bit more “mildâ€, ideal for customers coming from a cartridge background.
For those who prefer a milder shave and are happy with the closeness of our round #1 CORE units, exchanging to a new model with the blade lift points added won't make sense.
However, if you find your current CORE razor to be too mild for your personal preference OR are struggling to remove hair in 3 passes, then we want to coordinate an exchange of your original unit to one of these new units at no charge.
To arrange for a complimentary exchange to our new more aggressive CORE unit, please send us an email at
hello@onebladeshave.com and a member of our team will be in touch first thing next week with more details.
#2: Improved QA with Pivot Junction
We've also made improvements to our QA process with our manufacturer to ensure consistent durability between units around parts like our pivot junction. If you've had any issues whatsoever with the pivot of your razor and haven't already spoken to a member of our support team, please
send us an email and we'll happily coordinate an exchange to a new unit.
