Thread: Epitaph-One Blade SE Razor

Obie you should try the Rex Ambassador. It's a really outstanding shaver and not too aggressive and since you can dial in the type shave you want it might be the perfect razor for you.

Thanks for the suggestion, Spendur. I will certainly consider it. More and more, though, I find myself drifting away from the double edge and opting for the single edge safety razor. Still, the Rex is worth consideration.

Thanks for posting this. I learned long ago that the Feather of this type was viable.

The Japanese copied the old Autostop design. What goes in this razor, I think?



I have had a few nice shaves with the Feathers in an Autostrop.
I suppose a novelty.

Someone, somewhere has a LOT of blades!

I would give the OneBlade a better review than the original poster, though will have to say that mine sits on a shelf collecting dust.

thebigspendur, I agree with many of your points. I've given a few of the OneBlades to friends and team members who were just getting into wet shavers. Two of them were struggling with the traditional DE razors, weren't anywhere near ready for a straight razor, and they both described the results with the OneBlade as 'magical'. I think it's what you pointed out-it's an extremely 'safe' razor, so there wasn't the fear of getting cut for them. And it introduced them to the joys of wet shaving. A gateway razor, if you will.

The folks at OneBlade gave me a tip that works a treat for cleaning the OneBlade: Put a few squirts of Simple Green (they recommended that product specifically) in water, let the OneBlade soak for a while, and then rinse. Comes out sparkling clean inside and out.

It's too bad you were disappointed with the razor, but I thank you for the review on it. May work well for some, but not all. The variables within each person will produce different results.

No, I don't think so.

This razor was marketed specifically towards an upscale audience and one that uses an electric or a cartridge type but is basically ignorant of the world of wet shaving that we on this site are aware of. Someone like that would probably be very happy with this razor.
