ONEBLADE CORE single blade razor review - average guy tested

[@mikewhite1181]

I have been shaving with a double edge safety razor for over 20 years. I avoid my Adam’s apple by pulling the skin left then right to keep from getting cuts: a sometime slippery procedure. Your explanation of swallow hard and hold to take the Adam’s apple out of play is pure GENIUS!! Thank you. Life Changer!!

[@averageguytested]

Thank you, but I can’t take the credit for that tip. I learned how to wet shave watching KZbin. Here’s the link of the video from Executive Shaving that shows the three pass system: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pqSbaYWLlKeLoqM Thanks for watching 👍🏽

[@X22GJP]

With a feather DE and Astra blade, can’t say I’ve ever had any issues shaving around my Adam’s Apple.

[@Brovillion559]

Growing up my father taught me to shave slow and smooth. He would say a good woman will appreciate a smooth shave. Man was he right. My wife will rub her cheek against my cheek after I shave. Ahhaha. Epic razor. Just got mine today

[@averageguytested]

Awesome! Slow and smooth! Thanks for watching- enjoy the CORE!

Wow. I’m sorry to hear about your uncle.

[@PhilosophyofArtandScience]

thank you for this review. i've been looking into something like this for years, but never pulled the trigger. i've just been using an electric trimmer that came with my haircut kit. and i love the juan valdez. i rock it myself!

[@averageguytested]

Ha ha! Go Juan!!

[@Tracebebo]

This video inspired me to begin purchasing Duke Cannon products! I first tried the Ice Cold aftershave balm and loved it. As my beard started to grow a couple of years ago, I began using their other products and various body washes and lotions. I'm a big fan of the brand now!

[@averageguytested]

Thanks for watching 👋🏽 yes, Duke Cannon is the real deal!

[@martinrobert6688]

Wow this is great. I have oneblade myself on trial and this is nice. Still going through the learning curve

[@averageguytested]

It’s the best product ever!

[@Joe_Friday]

Is it still going well. I ordered an Asylum Rx v2 on the release but have yet to try it. It should be somewhat comparable.

[@martinrobert6688]

@Joe Friday Hey there, Joe. Thanks for getting back to me. You know I'm still getting used to it. Really trying to fall in love with it, but I'm not quite there. I turned 30 and recently went bald, so that's what I primarily use it for. Since I'm bald, having a beard is imperative, so I'm growing it out as full as I can. I currently use a braun series 8 foil shaver for my scalp but just wanted something that shaved a little closer. Also, something that will save me money for years to come on replacement blades, so hopefully it would pay for itself over time just buying those feather blades. Nicked my head a few times on the oneblade, but I'm not giving up.

[@Avidcommentor32]

As a noob in shaving, I got some questions. 1. How do I know which way the grain is on my neck goes? Also I put shaving cream one to twice. Beard and neck area and then mustache on the second one. Does everyone do it three?

[@averageguytested]

Hey Aviral- you can see the hair growth pattern on your neck much better if you let it grow out for a few days. And for your second question- your technique is what works best for you. Thanks for watching!

[@ericjencson9489]

Let your hair grow out for 2 or 3 days and look in the mirror to see which way it grows. We call it mapping your face( or head).

[@pyro226]

Hair on the neck can grow various directions, it all comes down to the person. It doesn't grow upwards for everyone.

[@averageguytested]

You’re right.

[@anthonymerola1489]

Just brought a One Blade. Can’t wait to try it out. Love the Duluth Trading Company’s ice balm! Great stuff!

[@averageguytested]

Cool. I’ll have to try that balm. Enjoy the CORE!

[@anthonymerola1489]

The One Blade is a great razor in terms of concept. One caveat to observe, however, is to make a minimum of two, maybe three passes over your face in different directions. The razor otherwise performs as advertised, leaving a nice, baby-smooth face! After shaving, I slap some ice water on my face first, then pat dry and follow with a generous glug of witch hazel to soothe the skin. Then any face balm will finish the job. Be sure to discard the blade after 9-10 passes, three uses, for best results.

[@infernoc0bra135]

Bought supply razor v2. Hated it and returned. This thing rocks.

[@averageguytested]

I’m not a fan of Supply. 👍🏽

[@ralphcastillo9266]

I like the shave with the oneblade, but it takes way to long on, an average day I don’t have 20 minutes to shave, I do use on my more leisurely days. If you have a tough beard you’ll only get one shave out of each blade.

[@averageguytested]

Truth

[@yunasshosein6595]

Can this be used to box up my beard?

[@averageguytested]

Sure. The only thing that bothers me about this particular razor is that it uses proprietary feather blades.

[@davidhill3939]

Man, that editing was downright artistic and funny. Great video and review.

[@averageguytested]

Thank you, David!

[@dejan7863]

Which is smoother Gillette heated or Oneblade core?

[@averageguytested]

Heated - core is smooth, tho

[@pimpinpenz]

We finally got Harry’s in Canada locally. I picked up a blue razor this weekend. Also are people panicking there about the covid19 break out? There’s no toilet paper here, hand sanitizer and other basic grocery items.

[@user-iz4kw8re9e]

Would the Phillip's one blade and the core be a good match?

[@averageguytested]

I really have to do more shaves with the CORE to give you an honest answer. I LOVE Philips One Blade and would pair it with most razors.

[@user-iz4kw8re9e]

@@averageguytested I've got the most coarse hair so that's why I'm contemplating on if I should get the norelco. Theres always tugging. Do you think that it would not have a problem? I'm going to use the core for acne prone skin.

[@ogram46]

My husband has Alzheimer’s. I have to do the shaving for him. I can’t do a decent job with his electric razor. Does the Oneblade require changing the blade after each shave?

[@averageguytested]

Hi, I would suggest a couple of products for you. 1. There’s a electric razor called One Blade that is brilliant for a Nick free shave. 2. Gillette makes a cartridge razor called SKINGUARD which is also very good and worry free.

[@juda-one]

Hey man that's the best review of the product. Good stuff.

[@ChupalePichon]

Do you recommend this razor 🪒?

[@averageguytested]

I enjoyed using it for sure and I love it for my razor collection, but there is one reason i wouldn’t recommend it as your go to - proprietary blades from feather. They are only good for one to two shaves and are a bit expensive in relation to traditional DE blades.

[@rickmancini772]

How many shaves before replacing the blade? Thanks

[@averageguytested]

2

[@pauliefte]

So it’s been a decent amount of time to get a fully formed opinion on the Core. I’m curious as to how you feel about the shave to $$ value and overall review. I’m pushing 50, and I have used my “Dad’s “ old school double edged razor blade that ya twist at the bottom and get the DeLorean like access to the blade. My beard is thick enough that multiple bladed razors get clogged with whiskers so I just can’t use them. I can get 2-3 good shaves out of a blade and the pack has five or ten blades in it for $3 or less. So bottom line, should I just stick with what’s been working or is it worth making the switch? Thanks Vato

[@averageguytested]

Stick with what you have - the core is nice, but the feather blades that it uses don’t last more than 2 shaves and are a bit expensive.

[@pauliefte]

theMediaMart I appreciate the time you took to review this and to reply so quickly I’ll be checking out more of your videos my friend

[@anthonyarena6580]

The Juan Valdez speeded up was hilarious!!🤣🤣🤣🤣Great review and aweskme razor. Just picked up one last week and still fine tuning the skill with it but awesome results. Thanks for your video! Juan Valdez!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Still laughing while typing this. Lol

[@averageguytested]

Thanks, Anthony!!!

[@kronos77]

The instructions the company provides seem at odds with what you are doing. I believe they suggest activating the pivot by putting the head of the razor against your face and raising your elbow to 45 degrees.

[@averageguytested]

I can believe that I didn’t read the directions. It was a good shave tho.

[@JonathanLewis-gf1lu]

Hey bro It will have to do very good to beat my Henson razor.

[@averageguytested]

Cool! Enjoy!

[@FVD]

Thanks for the review. Looking into picking up the Hybrid, however, would you recommend using this for shaving your head too? I'm relatively new to multiple pass safety razor shaving so still researching... And, subscribed!

[@averageguytested]

Thanks for subscribing!! I wouldn’t recommend the core for head shaves. I’d probably stick with a cushy cartridge razor like Gillette’s SKINGUARD or the new GilletteLabs razors.

[@averageguytested]

The Leaf Shave products are also good for all around shaving. Check them out.

[@FVD]

@@averageguytested excellent, I'll check out the Leaf razor as I got put off by Gillette with their man shaming advert a couple years back which has since lost me a customer, but I'm always open to trying something more unique. Many thanks for the recommendation!

[@robertgray9802]

Tony you broke my heart when you shaved off the goatee but you are pulling off the Tony Orlando mustache very well LOL. Was Tony Orlando famous without Dawn?? Now how about a showdown between the Leaf Razor and the One Blade???

[@transformer01able]

Never thought I’d say this but I now I think you should go clean shaven and grow back beard ;)

[@averageguytested]

[@markdsiddall]

Where do you get single edge razor blades.

[@averageguytested]

You have to order them from OneBlade for this razor.

[@pjfsr7024]

How would you rate this razor against the Twig and the Harry ? I'm thinking of getting the Twig based on your reviews.

[@averageguytested]

TWIG all day long. OneBlade is ok - but you have to use their blades and they can be expensive.

[@greenerick]

@@averageguytested what safety razor better than the one blade please

[@ilirianshqiptari]

I just go my Hybrid, but the blade moves a fair bit when click into place. It actually makes a rattling sound when you wave the razor around. I'm not sure this is a good thing. not really a happy customer.

[@averageguytested]

Reach out to them - they should replace the unit if it’s faulty

[@BRETTJEFFERS]

I've been waiting for this review nice video

[@averageguytested]

Thanks, it’s a smooth razor!

[@coyote5.02]

I know depending on which one you buy. Are all the blades the same.

[@averageguytested]

No

[@Rubycon99]

I personally find it easier just to move the skin on my Adam's apple off my Adam's apple with my fingers than trying to shave over it with the swallowing trick.

[@averageguytested]

It is easier to move the skin, but that may promote ingrown hairs because when you stretch the skin you may cut the hairs shorter than the skin line.

[@DennyKong]

Do you have any suggestions for a narrow blade razor or a edging/grooming razor for lines/ beards?

[@averageguytested]

I like One Blade by Philips Norelco- for trimming and edging.

[@DennyKong]

@@averageguytested Thanks. I do have that razor, however the blade head is quite wide. Have you ever come across a narrower razor head?

[@Spartan117A51]

This had interested until you had mentioned that you had to use the in-house one sided blade they have.

[@Xanduur]

You can import the razor blades from Japan or even buy locally in the US at a few shops.

[@greenerick]

@@Xanduur to expensive not worth it

[@averageguytested]

Yes. Tragic

[@Offline836]

Try cleaning the blade more often while you shave for an easier and better shave

[@averageguytested]

That’s not helping this razor, mate.

[@BingBangBye]

OneBlade Core is the crappiest razor I've ever owned. I got a great deal on it, and purchased it before I discovered OneBlade's absurd WTG-ATG-XTG procedure. Here's what works for me: I lack the patience and don't want to expend the time and energy to follow OneBlade's recommendation, so I quickly shave with the OneBlade in the shower, then get out of the shower, dry myself, and run my electric shaver over my face to get all the whiskers the OneBlade missed. As soon as I've used up all those short-lived Feather blades, I'm pitching this thing. As for those Feather blades: all the metal of a double-edged blade, but only one edge. Talk about waste...

[@averageguytested]

Really? Have you done multiple passes? Also are you changing blades after the second shave?

[@dickyoung2292]

theMediaMart As I said - I don’t want to spend the time and energy on multiple passes, but even when I have, it’s still not as good a shave as I get with my Schick cartridge razor - which doesn’t need a new cartridge after every other shave. Glad you like this product, kudos to you, but as far as I’m concerned, it’s too much work for an inferior result.

[@greenerick]

Thanks for that was thinking of getting it but not now Many thanks for your message

[@rockyg1987]

Oneblade or twig???

[@averageguytested]

TWIG - all day long. A few reasons, but the big one is the ability to use any DE blade you like. The One Blade Core uses proprietary feather blades, which are costly and are only good for two shaves in my experience
