The feather originals were worth exactly one shave for me (face and head) and didn't always fit (causing a smile by being bent by the positioning/locking button/dimples/whatever) and we're 1$ each unless I wanted to buy hundreds at a time. Since I'm cutting my own, every blade fits perfectly and I'm paying about 30 vents per  blade and I get 2 or 3 full shaves from it.  It looks great and rinses cleanly.

Here are my thoughts: For an MSRP of $588, this razor better be three feet tall with a flat head and no teeth.

It cost $399 https://shop.onebladeshave.com Not $588.

You are referring to the "discount" which throws a bunch of CF stuff in it, which is clearly better than just paying $399 for just the razor. Free stuff is good.

Why does the "free stuff" cost $189?

Is this a real question. Do the research. https://www.onebladeshave.com/sharpologist/

Why does Castle Forbes shaving cream cost $44? I don't know, ask Castle Forbes. http://www.westcoastshaving.com/Castle-F...DQodWsYC_Q

Similarly look up the price of the pre-shave, balm, and the travel brush. Its all the on the net.

So, your choice. Do you want to pay $399 for just the razor? or

go through their special and get $188 of "free stuff" on top of that?

Is that a trick question?  Huh Or can I choose none of the above?

I'll be interested to see how the $399 price works for them. It will be interesting to see if they discount the razor itself - without the additional product. Could be that they have and I haven't seen it.

It looks like OneBlade has successfully wrapped up the blade Monopoly. Connought shaving won't ship the blades outside the UK any longer. Maggards still has them, so get them while you can.

I hate Monopolies.

Yes, It certainly looks like they have exclusive distribution in the US. A few will come on the market here and there, but not enough to really impact the price. OneBlade has reduced the price on subscriptions to roughly $.66 per blade, though they shouldn't be that much.
