OneBlade V2

[dc68]

Just ordered "one". I have looked at this razor before I returned to proper shaving over two years ago.
The clincher was being able to buy it through Executive Shaving and use the 10% discount code for ATG members.
I shall post a review after a weeks use.
Edit: Genesis not Core

What's the code?

Just ordered my One Blade, too. Bloody bank holiday!

It is an absolutely wonderful razor, the claims are not hyperbole. Il give it a week before I review it properly.

I have the OneBlade V.1 (not core) and I also find it to be a great shaver. Not too aggressive by any means, yet enough blade feel. Quick and easy to load/use with good balance. Most importantly the pivot actually has useful function as opposed to being a gimmick.

I just had my first shave with the Genesis, and I'm at a loss for words. It cost me a packet but my six DEs have been relegated to the bottom drawer of my dresser. If this isn't perfection personified, I don't know what is. Save your pennies, put it on your credit card, sell your first-born; it doesn't matter how you get the funds GET THIS RAZOR! I'll wait for @dc68 to publish his review --- I don't have the poetry.

.......the boy stood on the burning deck....Glad you like it, it is really rather special.

I'm putting three of my relegated razors on BST. S1 on OSS handle, Merkur 39c, and Ikon X3 head on a Parker handle.

My only issue with OB is that I have to change blades after 2 shaves. Not that I am too concerned about the cost, but it seems wasteful to me.

That's the issue with all Feather blades -- the sharper the blade, the shorter its lifetime. I get 2 - 3 shaves with the blade, and it's a small price to pay to use this razor. The first shave I had left me with nothing but smooth. If my face could have squeaked to the touch, it would have. I would usually change a blade every 3 shave in my DEs, so this isn't anything out of the ordinary. One of our members, @Billyfergie, insists upon the 3-shave blade change, and who am I to argue? As he is all things SR, I love it if he could get his hands on a Genesis and give us his impression.

I had put my OB V1 for sale a few months back. It didn't sell and was waiting in the wings in anticipation of a probable buy.

Fast forward 3 months, I shaved with it today morning and absolutely loved the shave. This is not going anywhere. I will sacrifice a few razors instead and keep this one.

What's the major upgrade from V1 please? I doubt if the shaves can get any better.
