You got it! I’ll have to read it again, keeping in mind the recent developments in this thread.

andrewjs18, yes, I see the roughness you are referring to.

I'm a little set back that they didn't look the razor over before sending it to you.

After typing the info above I went and read the Sharpologist article in full.  One comment was very interesting:

"Our QC process is extremely rigorous and reliable so as a result...."

Wow, Andrew, that's so disappointing to hear! I wonder if they're having trouble scaling up. The OneBlades I've gotten have all been perfect, but it doesn't sound like they're doing so well on quality control. I can't think of a good excuse for sending out a razor-much less a $300 razor-with scratches and gouges. If you're not too tired of the whole process by now, I'm sure Tod will make things right for you, but at this point, it's understandable if you're done with it. OTOH, the shaves are amazingly effortless, maddeningly so.

The shaves might be great from the razors without flaws. However, I had one with the smiling blade and the shave wasn't good at all.

I'd be sending that back asap and be done with them. What a crappy company.

Andrew, maybe they sent you one that was already a returned one.

It's very possible. It has a serial number in the 4,XXX mark.

I'll share the email I send to them tonight... they boast about getting from point A to B in a Porsche rather than a Ford F-150, yet they've sent me an F-150 twice!!!

Very disappointing- mine is flawless and a great shaver. At this price point, they all should be.

I would likely send that one back too andrewjs18 with that rough finish work.

Think of it this way.

Although it doesn't have moving parts, such as a pivot, a stainless steel Wolfman DE is about the same price when the OneBlade is on sale and less expensive at full price when new.

Check the currency conversion. Everyone forgets they're sold in Canadian dollars. $300 CAN is $225 US today. Head and handle for a Wolfman.

So, even though the Wolfman is not readily available, the price to quality ratio of the OneBlade should not be an issue being discussed. It should be perfect.

Andrew, that razor is unacceptable. I can't believe they sent that to you in that condition, especially since you got a bad one on the first go round. I got a flawless one, and a collector's edition that was perfect, two others I sent to friends, and they were all perfect. Although I've been treated very well my them, I must say I am very disappointed in them after seeing your photos!
