I also got a pop up offer of a free brush with any razor purchase. Seems like a great deal as a starter kit for someone.I'm not one for stealing others suggestions, so this offer has appeared on Mantic59's page.
it'll be interesting to see if @Executive Shaving promote this fantastic saving!
The OneBlade CORE
The perfect intro to wet shaving. Proven to eliminate bumps, nicks, razor burn and irritation for every face and skin type. It’s the most intuitive single edge razor on the planet with the same pivoting head construction as our flagship GENESIS product. Features the highest grade polymer on...www.onebladeshave.com
I initially thought the same thing. Spoke to Brian at Exec Shaving about it and he told me to give it 10 shaves and not be worried about using a little pressure. I found its optimal handling was somewhere between a DE and cartridge razor. I eventually started getting great shaves from it and it's one of the very few razors I can use daily.Oh well, I paid £79 for mine and I think it's hopeless! So mild it doesn't really shave me properly and beaten by all my DEs.

The code you get for the brush (LATHER) doesn't work with the discounted Core, I've just tried it. Anyway it cost me $24.90 (£21.07) posted to the UK which Is a nice cheap entry into the SE Rabbit Hole, even if the Excise Man gets his paws on it...
Even if the excise catch it and add the vat (£4) and the Royal Mail processing fee of £8 it's still a great price c/f £79...That's a very tempting price.
I use this website to calculate import tax and duty, just remember to add on the Royal Mail ransom of £8.

It's times like this that make me wish that I were on the North American continent, rather than in "Rip-Off Britain". Even years ago, when we got 2 US$ to the GBP£ and better, every dollar price became the same figure in pounds.I just bit the bullet: at US$19.95 plus US$4.95 I couldn't resist. After using DE and SE razors for years and having shaves that required me to touch up with a cartridge (Mach3 or Sensor) I finally threw in the towel and now shave only with a Mach3 or Sensor. After reading many write ups on this razor I decided to give it a whirl to see if it can match the quality of the shaves I have with the Mach3/Sensor. If not, I won't have ventured much at a total cost of US$24.90, roughly CAN$33.
What made the deal “as cheap as chips†for me was the US$4.95 charge for postage. Normally postage from the USA to Canada is approximately US$18, roughly CAN$24, which would have made the all-in cost unattractive. I'll post my thoughts on the razor once I've used it for a week.It's times like this that make me wish that I were on the North American continent, rather than in "Rip-Off Britain".

I hope you'll let us know how you like using your "bargain buy".
To the ones that already tried this razor, what do you think of it? Does the pivoting head someway helps or is more like a gimmick?
