Our new OneBlade CORE razor carries the same signature patent-pending design profile of our signature all-stainless steel, award-winning OneBlade GENESIS razor... but is built using Tritan ™, an engineer-grade polymer (plastic), with a 304 stainless steel rod inserted into the handle core for an added, balanced weight. Blending elements of the traditional safety razor with updated technology, the end result is a never-before-seen marriage of shaving performance and comfort.

The OneBlade CORE uses the Feather FHS-10 Single Edge Blade. Made of hardened stainless steel and coated in platinum, these Japanese blades provide the perfect balance of sharpness and comfort to deliver you an exceptional shave with no irritation. (For best results, we recommend switching to a new blade after 1-3 shaves. Blades can be purchased from OneBlade for as low as $0.66/blade; you can also purchase them from other retailers like Amazon).

From the pivot to the spring, this razor leaves no room for compromise or fault.

When we began development on the OneBlade© Razor, we dove into the project with no predetermined specifications regarding razor type, materials, or cost — we simply gave our design and engineering team one parameter to work from: to build the best razor on Earth, one that could perform like a high-quality straight razor, but be intuitive to use with a minimal learning curve. Our goal was to offer an innovative razor that wet-shaving enthusiasts and cartridge-razor users alike could truly enjoy using... a razor that would ultimately become their ‘go-to’ shaving tool.

With our first razor product, we opted to match the sophistication of our design with the best materials and manufacturing processes available — ultra-high-grade solid stainless steel… metal injection molding technology… physical vapor deposition coating… hand-assembly… hand-polishing… individual serial numbering… and more. The result was our award-winning OneBlade© GENESIS razor (our original OneBlade© Razor model 1.0 and 2.0 has been renamed "OneBlade© GENESIS"). But given the cost of the high-grade materials that we were using, in addition to the sophisticated manufacturing process required, that meant that we simply couldn’t retail the razor at a price that was widely accessible.

So, beginning in late 2016, we went back to our design and engineering team to explore the possibility of building a new razor… one that maintained the core attributes of our original patent-pending design — meaning that there would be absolutely no compromise in overall shaving performance — but incorporated materials and a manufacturing process that would ultimately allow us to offer the razor at a much more accessible price. We are pleased to announce that we were successful in this endeavor with the release of our new OneBlade© CORE razor.

Like GENESIS, OneBlade© CORE maintains our signature, patent-pending design profile — our optimal head design, optimal pivot, quick-load blade system, weighted handle, and compatibility with the Feather FHS-10 single edge blades. But we’ve moved from the use of high-grade solid stainless steel for the primary razor parts to TritanTM, an ultra-durable and BPA-free engineering-grade polymer (plastic). Along with this key material change, we’ve made some changes with our manufacturing process compared to GENESIS — in place of metal injection molding, we’re using plastic injection molding. And this model won't be hand-assembled, hand-polished, or have individual serial numbers. And while OneBlade© CORE does come equipped with a razor display stand as pictured above, this is built using 1.5mm thick anodized aluminum… versus the 316L solid stainless steel used for our GENESIS display stand.

In short, we went from the advanced 50-step manufacturing process required to produce our luxury GENESIS razor, to a simple five-step process to build the more economical OneBlade© CORE.

With the launch of CORE, we know our customers will have questions about which razor is right for them. One question we expect to hear is, “Should I trade in my GENESIS for a CORE?” While CORE will be our newest razor, it isn’t “Version 3.0” or the next generation OneBlade© Razor. Our higher priced original razor still includes the most advanced technology and the best all-around shaving experience we have to offer. It’s also built to last multiple lifetimes as a truly heirloom-worthy, luxury tool. For these reasons, GENESIS will continue to be our flagship razor moving forward as it’s a leader in its class in every possible category. But CORE will now offer customers the ability to experience the fundamental OneBlade© shave at a price that’s markedly more accessible.

At the foundation of OneBlade© is a commitment to restore all the best attributes and experiences of traditional shaving, using innovative design and modern engineering. Shaving is a job. It should be done well… And it should be accomplished and enjoyed while using the very best equipment.

Now, regardless of your budget, we have the right tool for you.
