Designing a razor around a blade that’s only good for one shaves seems like a poor decision. Nice shave Scott!
Thanks Matthew. Yeah, you'd be better off with a cartridge razor at that point.
My favourite knots are Synthetic, Boar & Badger in that order, didn't like Horse hair when I tried one, it was (stayed) too scratchy, tangled easily and it also started very smelly, worse than Boar or Badger. I also find many of the lower priced Italian soaps are slick enough but don't have the best residual / post shave, however, the ones like Saponificio Varesino (4.3) and Donkey milk recipe Extro are much better for me. Considering the great reputation Feather has for their other blades it's surprising the "One-blade" ones are so bad, for SE razors I prefer the AC razors and for me the blades are easier to get than GEM & Injector. Great shave Scott👌🤠👌
@unclelshaves Thanks Lawrie. Everyone has a preference which is what makes this hobby so much fun. I agree about the blades. I wonder if they were made that way on purpose, it seems like they were. Like you said, Feathers reputation is better than these blades.
top video Scott !! have a nice day
@razormichl2004 thank you razor
Hey Scott! For me, the OneBlade is not a good razor. The blades, I agree with you, I'll get just one shave off the blade. That's ridiculous! The pivot action is not existent too! I am going to try to modify a Gem blade to see if that makes any difference! My recommendation to folks, just purchase any vintage Gem razor and buy the blades off ebay, Amazon, etc. You'll get a far better shave!! Thanks for the review and nice save on the shave! JimG
Thanks Jim. I had the Gem on standby because previous uses said the blade would fail. The pivot action isn't alot of travel thats for sure, but the biggest issue is the blades.
Great shave Scott thanks for the beer bread idea. I think the only acceptable way to make that is to drink beer while you bake it.
@DoubleAshaves Thanks Aaron. You can do that too. But the beer activates the yeasty and helps the bread rise without kneading the dough. Tastes great too, you really don't taste the beer as beer, it's melded into the overall flavor.
👍
@@paulwalker2873 👍 for watching
The OneBlade to me at least is a horrible razor. I’ve not had much luck with boar hair except for one Zenith brush. With the brushes I have I’d rate my Badger and Synthetic about even.
@lwhitney5575 Agree with you on the razor. I like the stiffness of a boar, personal preferences in this hobby vary so much.
