Your thoughts on OneBlade

I may get a back up just in case they go belly up, lol.....

I also believe that a review of the R&D that went into the development must be considered. This product uses 316L German Stainless Steel, which is in fact of a higher grade than ATT razors. It is a totally new concept for a razor and completely different that what you get from the likes of Wolfman and/or ATT. They say they spent over a million on R&D. I'm not sure if I believe that, but even if they spent half of that, you have to consider that into the cost of what you're paying. To my knowledge, small companies like ATT and Wolfman took concepts from razors that have been around for a hundred years, and made them better with their engineering backgrounds and tight tolerances due to improved manufacturing processes. They did spend hundred of thousands or even millions on R&D. When you take these things into account, I don't think the cost of the razor is that high. Especially with their current 10% off or their 30 day trial where they give you a bunch of stuff that you can easily sell off for at least $50-60 if you didn't want to keep any of it.

My two concerns with this product are its longevity and the sustainability of the company. This razor will certainly not become a mass market item. How much profit does the company have to make in order for it to stay in business. They have to pay a CEO and several employees. I'm not sure the razor business will be enough to do that. I also worry about the spring action on the razor. Will it still work in 10 years, 20 years, or even 30 years? I have my doubts.

This is what I like most about the OneBlade. It takes shaving technology to the next level. No other razor makers are really doing that, even though they charge close to the same price. The R&D costs and risks don't even compare. Yet they are able to keep the build and materials quality just as high or higher.

I hope OneBlade is just the beginning of even further innovations in shaving technology throughout the industry!

I'm not a vintage collector, so somebody please correct me if I'm wrong, but don't a lot of old razors have springs in their caps? And aren't a lot of these razors still functional after 100 years or more? If so, I wouldn't worry too much about the spring in the OneBlade, as 100 year old springs still working today aren't Teflon coated, or made with the higher grade metal technology that the OneBlade spring uses.

I have no worries about longevity on this razor.

Got my backup when they had the 35% holiday special. Still brand new in the box.

I'm keeping my eyes peeled for a discount like that again to add a backup myself.

But I do worry that people worry about nothing a lot

I figure they'll have a discount again,maybe July 4th or Christmas again

I'm kind of a hoarder when I find something I really like. If one is good, two must certainly be better. I haven't bought a backup yet but if they ever have another 35% sale or close to it, I'll be in for another one.
