OneBlade razor 35% off until Dec 18

[Bechet]

FedEx is the only choice.

The choice is Fedex to UK or free shipping within the US.

Look at it another way - with that discount you could import via FedEx, pay all the charges and have a OneBlade at roughly cost price. Like wot I paid!

@riverrun - you've read my mind - that is exactly what I was thinking!

If nothing we are very good at justifying purchases....

 

[riverrun]

Thanks @Darkbulb, Andreas @riverrun and Carl @Bechet.

Seems like a bargain but don't fancy taking a chance on getting one of Carl @Bechet's 'blade falling out' jobs...

See this post.

Seems like people that are actively using the razor are getting about four shaves out of a blade on average.

Please don't.... I can happily ignore them at one shave per blade!!!!

Fingers in ears....I didn't hear you!!!!

Send money to a US citizen, bank transfer.
Have them buy Oneblades, and post to the UK using USPS, Item marked as "Gift"and Bob's your uncle ???

No extra fees ???.

Shyte! I'd completely forgotten about the black ones!

A $200 Gift still attracts VAT.

Hah, that DB is one helpful forum member,

Always makes me smile watching his act and thank God he rarely hits my shave and a haircut buzzer with whatever it might be he's touting. Cheeky monkey for sure.

Just cost me $200 for a black one! So thank you for 'saving' me $100, Db! At least, I think it is black - emailed to cancel if it isn't.

That's the first hole in my stairlift fund - needed to go upstairs to look at where a roof should be!

Was there an option for colour or did you just select the 'regular' razor on the site?

It's probably not the black PVD version - the blurb just below the picture on the order page says:

"Military-grade PVD coating for excellent corrosion resistance, cleanability and feel"

PVD is available in many colours including clear, stainless steel, black, gold, nickel, bronze, satin chrome etc.

 

[Darkbulb]

Oh dammit...ordered one.... Don't really care too much if it's black or silver...price was too good..... Ugh...

 

[Nico1970]

... strike that, reverse it - the product is a OneBlade not the BlackBlade. Worth a punt Carl @Bechet to ask the question!

It's probably not the black PVD version - the blurb just below the picture on the order page says:

"Military-grade PVD coating for excellent corrosion resistance, cleanability and feel"

And in the post by Jpshaver that Andreas linked us to says, "
OneBlade #00101
PS. Here's a sneak peak at the new, limited edition OneBlade we're getting ready for the holiday season. We're only going to make 100 of these limited-edition, all-black, military-grade PVD coated razors and stands. We're calling this model the "BlackBlade." It goes on saleDecember 1, 2015."

Surely the original, stainless razors were not coated, were they? Why would you coat stainless to give it "excellent corrosion resistance, cleanability and feel" when it has those already - unless you are going to change its colour?

Anyway, I've asked OneBlade the question.

Stain-less, not proof, I would prefer it if they were all coated.
