Oh Yeah, He is back! Happy to be able to start the week off with a new Subie Shaves. The new space looks good it looks like the banner fits pretty well. Great shave as always!
@@linkage12000 thank you my friend!! Feels good to be back and boy am I excited about the shaves coming! Thanks so much for your continued support and positivity!
What is up, my brother!? So glad that you're back! I wasn't sure if you were going to come back, because I've been around a minute and some people just fall off! What a coincidence, I just picked up Bazooka from Alien Shave last night, so seeing you using their stuff is pretty cool. The Element looks pretty nice and maybe that's the one I should get my good friend to try. Leaf, High Proof, and several others just hasn't clicked with him, but maybe this would. The Feathers are good for about three shaves and the first shave is just breaking in the blade. To me, I think Oneblade should come out with a new design, similar head design that uses either 1/2 DE blade or an injector blade or both, same pivoting style, and has a handle similar to the Enders Speed Shaver. Something to inject some kind of excitement into the brand and give the customer some choices for blades. They don't make blades, so there's no point of being locked into a proprietary blade that isn't even that good. Feather makes great blades, but not that one. Take care buddy!
@@lastshadow9351 nahhhhh just had to get life reset up! Back and READY to dive head first into some awesome BBS shaves! The FHS blades seem to work better shimmed for me, but they still are a 1 and done kinda thing - so I still will be going for Gems. Bazooka sounded so good - bright pink soap! 🩷👌
I wonder if they will make more!? I was told it was a "limited" time thing. Makes me so happy people found the razor - I myself somehow missed it! Glad to hear it shaves as good for you as it does for me!
I see you are playing around with the Ridge head. I took mine apart, and I am looking for options for modifications. Awesome shave, I'm still in a love affair with the Proff razor 🤣
Dudeeeeee now you are talking! I have heard of a few guys that have tried / considered making their own handles form the head! It would be cool to see what you come up with!
I tried stacking a FHS-10 blade on top of a FHS-10 blade I’d shaved with three times and got one of my closest and most confident shaves with a OneBlade Hybrid! Maybe you are onto making this razor better by getting rid of the AFBS. Not sure what the company can do with this info, I already removed the second blade due to razor burn from not dulling it, but it does make for a better shave.
For me the razor becomes so much better with the floating system taken out..easy to do too. I am so glad your getting good shaves with the concept too!
Welcome back!!! Great to see another Subie video. You're going to get used to the new bathroom before you know it. When I moved, I was so messed up! That first couple of weeks felt like I was doing everything left handed and while wearing mittens. Now it feels like I actually live here, and this is just normal. The sink is different, and I don't have counter space like I used to. I'm closer to the mirror now, so I use mostly badger brushes so I don't fling lather at the mirror. You'll adjust very soon. I hope you like the new area!
The mirror is WAY closer hahahahahah I felt like I was shoving my hand in your faces hahahahah Thanks for the support and the push of encouragement Lee!! I figure the only way to figure it out is to keep at it! Can't get better not doing it right? Awesome to see you here!
@@mikeperritte well if we keep asking my hope is that they'll eventually get around to making it! Thanks so much for tuning in and sharing the shave with me today
I have three Leafs (long story, shout out to their customer service) and I use them with a single blade. My original Leaf has a visibly different blade gap and is more aggressive/efficient than my newer Leafs. Unfortunately, one of the clamping arms broke after dropping it so it is barely hanging on. I've been trying to figure out what I should get to try to replace it. I prefer something with a tilting mechanism and a more aggressive shave.. how do you compare the Element to the Leaf? Or what would you suggest to try? So many new products these days lol.
OG leaf owners UNITE! Did you ask them if they can fix it? I wonder if they have any parts that could be used to keep the older Gen going. I spoke to them a few years back about the razors blade feel and performance, and I believe gap and exposure was adjusted to make it more beginner friendly. That said I agree - the Gen 1's are special. No the Element is not going to give you the bite the OG Leaf has (bottom slot) - atleast not compared to mine. I would say it feels like the mid slot on an OG. OneBlade Shave Genesis (or their Ridge Collab) is more like the bottom slot, but since it is a different blade all together, it's a little like comparing oranges to apples. 100% OG Leaf guy, and team LeafShave all the way, but the new Proof is probably exactly what you're looking for. Very much like the Leaf in terms of performance for me personally - but with a smaller head. I have even heard they may do some "adjustable options" for it. Absolutely Awesome razor IMHO if you want a DE blade that pivots. Great guys too with awesome customer service (when they aren't swamped).
@@SubieShaves Always insightful. That explains so much! I keep going back to the non Gen 1 every couple of months wondering if I am just imagining things. Lol. No wonder that original one I have feels superior for my preference. Now it all makes sense, lol. I appreciate your feedback a lot. I'll take a look later and see if I can't do a part swap for the broken piece with one of my newer Leafs. If all else fails, that Proof does look mighty nice.
I think the company is working on some sort of new blade or new head design. Honestly I love the OneBlade design but I don’t find the angle effortless to consistently get a good shave with no nicks. I’ve been using it for years and I wish it just had one flat angle like a cartridge or even a Henson.
@@SubieShaves I’d be surprised if they didn’t ask for your feedback, but I guess they already know your stance. Their top priority this year is to offer more options than the FHS-10.
I thought about trying an injector just not sold yet on it. How do you like GEM razors. Can you recommend any GEM blade options? I just got my AC Shield 🛡️ razor in stainless, with a pro feather very smooth. Just ordered the GEM Shield 🛡️
Try that Shield....you may never want (or find) anything better 👍 I love mine, especially in TI. The OneBlade with a Gem is exceptional (in my personal experience) but may not suite everyone (pivots are love/hate for many people).
@@drytool it takes a little effort, you have to remove the spine and I shim mine into place ruclips.net/video/45SUfz2LafQ/видео.htmlsi=7QlsiqX7O5DkKWQ- 👍
I have the SS Oneblade that was the first one they came up with. I'm not thrilled with the lack of control of blade angle for face shaving. I'm not a fan of the blades at all!
Welcome back !!! Glad to see you're settled and back making videos !! We missed the Subie energy !!!!!

@@SubieShaves Proprietary blades went out in the 40's and those were blade companies making razors just for their blades-lol!
Injector blade model would sell 👍

Yay he's back!
Never left 👌❤️ Just had to take a small life break to get everything in order, but I am so happy to be filming again! Thanks for watching as always!
Glad to see new content welcome back
Thrilled to be back and beyond happy to see you all here!! Thank you for watching!
I was able to get my hands on a ridge hyper lime before it sold out. It's an amazing razor especially with the subie hack.

Hey Subie… you haven’t aged a bit. Was expecting to see you come back with a ZZTop beard! Talk about a shave for the ages😂.

Do it feels great for headshave. Is it feels agressive with blade feel .almost BBS.
Welcome back. Great shave. I wish they would make a razor that used regular blades with either half de or injector. Have a great week buddy
@@mikeperritte well if we keep asking my hope is that they'll eventually get around to making it! Thanks so much for tuning in and sharing the shave with me today
Was expecting a contender for the leaf twig but I lost interest with those exclusive blades 😅. Good review though.
Hey if we keep asking these guys to create a razor that uses a DE - who knows maybe we'll get one!
Thanks for watching !
@@SubieShaves I don't think they are going that way. Their audience seems to be premium. But hey who knows?...

@@Gotobecrazy ayyyyeeeee that's awesome!! Best part is now you have 2 Awesome shaves!
@@SubieShaves Also got the 🛡️ de aluminum. The owner threw in a free SE head with the GEM razor. I definitely want a titanium at some point lol
