Consider your morning shave routine. Do you find yourself wielding a multi-blade cartridge razor or embracing the finesse of a single-blade razor? Have you been content with your current regimen, or have the signs of shaving discomfort and skin irritation crept in, marring your daily grooming ritual?
In the realm of grooming, many men tend to underestimate the impact of their choice of shaving tool. But here's the revelation: the razor you choose wields the power to transform your skin health and overall shaving experience.
At OneBlade, we firmly believe that your morning shave should be a moment of anticipation, not an ordeal marked by nicks, cuts, and ingrown hairs. We're committed to altering the narrative of your grooming routine, asserting that shaving should be a source of rejuvenation, not frustration.
In a market teeming with options, ranging from electric razors to multi-blade and single-blade alternatives, OneBlade stands firm on the side of science and skin health. After thousands of hours of R&D and prototype testing, we verified that a single blade shave is key to achieving the perfect shave without razor burn, bumps, or irritation.
Are multi-blade razors truly the superior choice? Let's journey into history and revelation to uncover the truth.
With multi-blade razors, the first blade tugs at the hair while every subsequent blade cuts the tugged hair and removes more layers of skin. While cutting the hair below the surface of the skin results in what feels like an extremely close shave, this is actually what causes razor burns, shaving bumps, and other irritation (see the diagram below).
Multiple blades tugging, pulling, and cutting hair below the skin's surface is a mechanism that triggers concern. While a multi-blade razor might offer the appearance of an impeccably close shave, it's often accompanied by an array of uncomfortable consequences:
The irony lies in the fact that while these razors are marketed for a smoother finish, they can lead to an aftermath of discomfort. For those grappling with these issues, dermatologists advocate for the wisdom of a single blade safety razor.
Back in 1901, King Camp Gillette patented the first safety razor, initiating a revolution in grooming. The evolution continued as additional blades were introduced, ostensibly to deliver a closer shave by engaging multiple hairs simultaneously. The promise of a multiplied shave, however, raises questions about the intention behind this innovation.
The inception of the multi-blade cartridge razor, despite its apparent shortcomings for skin health, can be traced back to a calculated marketing maneuver rather than a genuine concern for the well-being of your skin. The story behind this innovation harks back to the vibrant Fifth Avenue and the creative minds that sought to redefine the shaving landscape, surely led by the likes of fictional genius of advertising, Don Draper and his friends.
The intention was not to revolutionize the shaving experience but rather to distinguish one razor from its competitors in a saturated market. The goal was simple: capture attention, stir desire, and ultimately boost sales. In this quest for differentiation, the notion of adding more blades was a bold move - a feature that could be showcased to imply enhanced performance and an unbeatable shave, but may not be in the best interest of the people using them.
Single blade razors, exemplified by our meticulously crafted OneBlade, operate on the principle of shaving on the surface of the skin rather than beneath it. The secret to a successful single blade shave lies in the technique. Multiple passes with the correct angles can work wonders, yielding an incredibly close shave that remains blissfully devoid of the typical discomforts that plague many post-shave experiences.
Before the 1970s, single blade razors held the crown as the go-to choice for a smooth shave. The endorsement from shave enthusiasts reverberates to this day, with the ability of a single blade to glide cleanly through hair, minimizing the risks of ingrown hairs and skin irritation. The secret? The absence of additional blades tugging, pulling, and cutting beneath the skin's surface.
Navigating the realm of single blade razors can feel like an intricate dance, especially considering the diversity of hair types and skin sensitivities. Yet, this learning curve can be surmounted. OneBlade, with its patented adjustable system, offers an avenue for both novices and seasoned shavers to achieve an impeccable shave.
