February 2018 I went down to Wallymart to get some Mach 3 cartridges. I cringed when I saw the price so I picked up a Vanderhagen safety razor because the razor blades were $2.50 for a pack of 5. I got home and shaved not knowing what I was doing shaved like I usually do with a Gilette cartridge. Cut myself horribly so I decided to look up how to shave on RUclips and your video was one of the ones I watched. Thx bro I learned alot and actually enjoy shaving now.
I love a proper wet shave and really love a single edge razor. This one is great but it is not a patch on my Above The Tie which costs more to buy but the Feather blades give 15 good shaves and two passes are enough to give a very smooth shave without any need for touching up. It is the closest shave that I have had apart from a shavette shave at a barber in Turkey which was really smooth. I really love this video and agree with everything he said. Good but not perfect shave and the blades do not last for more than 2 or 3 shaves,
As one of the few testers, you mentioned the high price of this razor and unusual blades. I really appreciate that. Greettings and have a nice weekend.
Love your videos! I’m trying to find a lot your favourite items. It seems we have similar taste. I would love to try the one blade. Thanks for the giveaway contest
Thanks for sharing with the wet shaving group , Senior SinatraLennon ! I always enjoy your channel and reviews on shaving products. Cant wait to see the next shave
I almost bought the OneBlade But Their blades are coated with Teflon and I refuse to use Teflon Coated Blades. So I bought the leaf and I use a feather for the bottom most aggressive setting and a Gillette Nacet on mildest setting the top, I get a very Nice and close shave this way and I almost just have to do 1 Pass only. For my all my DE razors I use Feather, Gillette nacets, Gillette 7'O clock Yellow, and Other stainless blades, I prefer Stainless blades that way I have the sharpest blade and only need 1-2 passes. I always research my blades and I Never use Teflon because of health concerns, same for everyday life NO Teflon!.
That seems to be the general consensus with the Feather FHS-10 blades. 2 shaves and they're done. I use them occasionally with a couple of my later vintage Valet Autostrop razors which were discontinued in the 1940's. The Feather FHS-10 blades were made to fit the later Valet Autostrop razor models that have a proprietary pin layout that would match up with the cutouts in the proprietary blade. The original vintage Autostrop blades with the cutouts spelled VELET. I love the Autostrops but earlier models don't have that proprietary gimmick, although you can just slide in a FHS-10 in the older Autostrops, they accept an easily modified modern GEM SE blade (despined and clipped at the top corners) The good old USA made GEM Stainless Steel PTFE coated blades are just as sharp but last a whole lot longer than the Feather FHS-10. I can get up to 20 shaves!
Great video, the OneBlade very luxurious razor, I have noticed that the Feather FHS-10 Blades are available here in the UK from Executive Shaving & Connaught Shaving...All the best Mark.
I using Schick hydro 5 cartridge razor now. Love it!! For me best shaves i've ever had!! I liked the disposable ones but they didn't have enough blades and yes i know i can get the one's with four blades.
The one blade would be perfect for me! I use a 1-3 blade cartridge razor parred with a boar brush, lather puck & bowl. Personally, I am kind of a high end, expensive taste guy. Heck, if Gucci made shaving razors, I'd probably buy it... :)
My luxury items I own is my original old spice shave soap that was brand new when i got it in a old spice mug, old spice aftershave from India, and my gillette fatboy. But I do use my gillette fatboy all the time. I use my old spice shave soap on my birthday, on a special personal anniversary, and all major holidays. Just like you said in the vintage barbasol shave video it's meant to be used.
Lol you referenced GEM razor pejoratively when in actuality GEM is the superior razor for unequivocally countless reasons; one being it was actually made in good ol us of a in the olden days of yore before safety razors became massed produced in the 3rd world countries; I’m 43 and just invested in the old fashioned GEM shaving world. I also use a multitude of double edge razors as well as cartridge systems but I’ve always felt I was missing something forever lost in oblivion; thus, the GEM razor came into the picture
Hi there. I have a question. It is normal that after inserting the blade into the razor there are some movements of the blade? In my oneblade blade is not fitted perfectly and I wonder if it is defected.
You know... This is the way reviews should be made. Honest and straightforward. I had never heard of the product so it was neat to see it. I could never justify spending $199 on a razor. Also, a proprietary blade for a buck is steep... It looks great though. I would never buy an iPhone either... but lots of people do...
@@SinatraLennon Just to clarify - I'm not entering the draw. I think the razor looks awesome but it's not me. If my name comes up - spin again. That beauty should go to someone who will appreciate it.
I’ve used the OB v1. Metal version. I don’t like the Feather blade. For me it’s either to sharp the first time I use them and than to dull on the second shave. I do get nicks from time to time, maybe less than others type of razors. I use the GEM blade in the OB and then it exactly the suitable sharpness for me, not to sharp and the blade lasts a lot longer and almost no nicks. It’s one of my favorite razors.
In OB V1 your have to remove the aluminium. In OB later versions it is a little more complicated but in my opinion the GEM is a much better blade and certainly more affordable
I got the Core model for free from the One Blade people because I subscribe to financial research from One Blade's parent company. I love the razor. I've cut the cost of replacement blades by watching for specials and I've managed to get my blades for 50% off every time I've ordered usually at the end of the year or around Christmas. So, it's been a winner for me.
I am ordering the core blade razor of theirs, want the hybrid but I'd have to save for it.. I usually use cartridge but want to go the higher end route..
Have worked overtime and saved money for 18 months without being able to buy any razorstuff, so that I and my family can live in Thailand for a year. A small package from you would make me overjoyed.
You can probably de-spine a regular GEM blade and use it instead of using the proprietary blades, as long as both blades are the same size (which I think they are). It's quick/easy to do and the stainless steel GEM blades shave very well and are much cheaper and last for more shaves.
I have a One Blade razor and have had excellent results with it. Mine is the black bakelite version with the steel rod in the shaft. If you moisturize first with water and Proraso pre-shave, followed by a slick shaving soap, it works well. I managed to get three shaves (9+ total passes) before I need to change the blade. I also spray dry silicone on the edge, which actually improves it a bit. But yes, at about $.90 per blade, I use this for special occasions. I also have two Supply razors, which use non proprietary injectors, and have great luck with them. Maybe you could demo one of those. Supply is also an Austin-based company, and you may have demonstrated those already. Great video!!
They should have made the razor around the GEM blade. It’s possible to use the GEM blade in the OB razor. There are video with instructions on RUclips on how to do it. In my opinion the GEM blades are much superior to the Feather proprietary OB blades. I have one in my OB razor that I used for 10 times and still able to give a good shave. I highly recommend the Hybrid razor because of the metal head. It’s expensive but it will last a lifetime. This razor is definitely on a different league. It’s an exceptional well designed razor.
Not in, as I couldn't afford to buy more of those blades, so the only reason I would take it would be to review it and then sent it on to someone else who could afford it, but that's a very nice gesture!
Been a OneBlade fan for a while, and just completed the trial. I chose the Hybrid for purchase finding it to be so much better than the Core. Obvious value compared to the Genesis. Interested to see your take on it.
SinatraLennon also, at some point you should try the Focus Dynamic R48. It uses half DE blades like the Leaf, but made for only one single edge. Head pivots similar to OneBlade. Currently between that & OneBlade. Price is less than $50 also.
Paul H did a video where he spoke briefly at the start and not at all during his shave. Then he spoke after 3 passes and pickups. The shaving time seemed to be only about 6 min.
Yes sir I don't like way too much for a razor, unless I have the extra cash to throw around but I don't. I wouldn't mind trying out the One blade so put me in please. Good review and honest opinion about the razor. Cheers
I just loved this. I recently bought a Oneblade Core and it took me a few days to work it out but it is a very good, very easy razor to use, No blood and not much time for a close shave. Additionally, this guy is genuinely engaging and funny. Keep it going chap!
I like the concept. It looks modern, feels like a cart razor. Yet it's also old school in the sense that you're only using one blade and therefore also getting an old school quality style shave. It takes the best of both worlds.
Thanks for the review. I almost bought the original one blade but decided against it because of the blades. If I win this one I will probably use it a few times and then pass it on.
Hey Frank, thanks for show how to remove the blade, very nice razor...before after shave...use allume di rocca...is a good habit...if you want. A big hug and see you coming soon, good weekend!
I’d really like to try that razor! Not easy to find one in europe without having to spend another razor’s price money in custom taxes! Please count me in!
Thanks for an honest review. It seems like they tried to build a better mouse trap and almost succeeded. For that price I sulk think I'd rather a fat boy or slim adjustable and a box of cigars. I would like to win it. If I do I think I'll try it for a while and then send it to somebody else
They’ve done a beautiful job of design and manufacture and it shaves well. If they give us more options for blades and maybe a mid-priced metal razor they could be on to something!
Put me in to win the One Blade. I saw an ad for that razor earlier this summer and it got me thinking about changing how I shave. I ended up getting into wet shaving 💈at a lower cost with a vintage Gillette Superspeed razor and haven’t looked back. Love wet shaving. Keep the great videos coming.

That’s very cool! I’m always happy to hear that I’ve helped someone in some way. Makes it all worthwhile.
This is useful thanks
Count me in! As a broke college student with sensitive skin this would be absolutely wonderful. Good luck everyone!
Count me in! Would love to try a high end blade and maybe have no skin irritation for once
How would u compare this razor to the Twig razor?
Did you get one to try out?

appreciate the honesty and quite agree with the view on the proprietary blades.
New to shaving, what kind of razor would you recommend to use with feather blades?
Try a Merkur 34C. Mild but not too mild and built like a tank.
SinatraLennon thank you!
I would love to win one! I just switched over to safety razors! Got really tired of cartridge razors and how irritating they were on my skin!
Love your videos! I’m trying to find a lot your favourite items. It seems we have similar taste. I would love to try the one blade. Thanks for the giveaway contest
When I read the brochure that came with the Hybrid it said to put pressure on the top of the handle and not to stretch your skin

between this (one blade) and the supply co single edge 2.0.....what do you think is better, and what is more new user friendly??
I’ve only tried this one!
I’d like to win the One Blade. Thank you for the opportunity and generosity.
Great video, the OneBlade very luxurious razor, I have noticed that the Feather FHS-10 Blades are available here in the UK from Executive Shaving & Connaught Shaving...All the best Mark.
I using Schick hydro 5 cartridge razor now. Love it!! For me best shaves i've ever had!! I liked the disposable ones but they didn't have enough blades and yes i know i can get the one's with four blades.
they should have designed it around the artist type blades, they got greedy and wanted to force people to buy from them in the back end as well.
Socrates you can get these blades on eBay directly from Japan
@@xanxibar3350 Several other online shaving retailers carry the blades as well.
Getting this as a gift would be a course, because the blades alone are 5 times as expensive as regular Feathers!
I`m down for the one blade. Thanks SL👍
The one blade would be perfect for me! I use a 1-3 blade cartridge razor parred with a boar brush, lather puck & bowl. Personally, I am kind of a high end, expensive taste guy. Heck, if Gucci made shaving razors, I'd probably buy it... :)
Update to my comment. eBay has Gucci shaving razors... Lord help me:/
My luxury items I own is my original old spice shave soap that was brand new when i got it in a old spice mug, old spice aftershave from India, and my gillette fatboy. But I do use my gillette fatboy all the time. I use my old spice shave soap on my birthday, on a special personal anniversary, and all major holidays. Just like you said in the vintage barbasol shave video it's meant to be used.
Sounds awfully appealing. Would love to try one. Thanks for the yet another awesome episode!
turned 50yrs old last month,really love your videos,really love that razor sign me up fast.love from trinidad and tobago.

I would love to have one blade hybrid
I’ve never even seen a razor like that! That’s a crazy design. You can definitely count me in
I would really love that, thanks for the chance to have it!!
Just a thought - could you strop a blade to get more shaves from it?
You probably could, yes!
I’ve used the OB v1. Metal version.
I don’t like the Feather blade.
For me it’s either to sharp the first time I use them and than to dull on the second shave.
I do get nicks from time to time, maybe less than others type of razors.

It’s one of my favorite razors.
So the Gems do work?!
In OB V1 your have to remove the aluminium.
In OB later versions it is a little more complicated but in my opinion the GEM is a much better blade and certainly more affordable
you’re way too aggressive. you’re blunting the razor by cutting yourself continuously
Yes, put me down for the drawing! Thanks!

(Cynical question, but respect intended) Why would this be different than a single blade bic razor?
It’s like a high end item I guess. Built like a tank and more aesthetically pleasing. That’s important to some people.
I am ordering the core blade razor of theirs, want the hybrid but I'd have to save for it.. I usually use cartridge but want to go the higher end route..
Have worked overtime and saved money for 18 months without being able to buy any razorstuff, so that I and my family can live in Thailand for a year. A small package from you would make me overjoyed.

I would love to try it, im in 😋👍👍. Cold shaves from Sweden. So put me down for the drawing of the One Blade. 👍👍❤❤

A very honest video. Think if I had £200, would go for the Karve or Tatara razor. Great video as always. Keep up the great watch
