The Problem with Multi-Blade Cartridge Razors

Most razors today are made by a very small handful of manufacturers. They have been selling a model of convenience and speed, not necessarily of high-quality or performance shaving. The lead designer of the OneBlade razor, Mark Prommel, explains some of the misleading notions that razor consumers have taken at face value in the last few decades of cartridge product development.

You missed some basic things. You have less irritation when you use one blade at a time, that is, the DE razors, because you have 1 blade - 1 stroke. When you have 5 blades, it is 5 blades - 5 strokes in one. Of course, you torture your skin 5 times more. And when you have a single blade, a DE blade, it MUST be sharp, or you will notice that is not. When you have 5 blades, they can be all pretty dull, and try to perform their role using their number, not the sharpness. Generally, the multiple blade razors are not as sharp as the double edge blade. It is so logical, they don't need to be, because there are 5 blades, instead of 1. The manufacturer reaches his goal: he offers you 5-7 blades (and you are thrilled, the more the better?) for a big price for each blade cartridge, and he doesn't need to use any super materials for the blades or to make it especially sharp.

I have a variation of this razor , it is a safety razor and as a guy who used to get alot of irritation and ingrown hairs these things are a game changer . Not touching for any brands just safety razors in general. I've tried different creams and for awhile I was even using a women's cream on my face nothing worked. Safety razors any guys out there that experience the same ...game changer

Safety razors changed my life for the better. My dad taught me to shave with cartridge razor, but I couldn’t shave more than once a week because I learned the hard way that I have sensitive skin. But once I tried a safety razor, I dumped my cartridge razor and never looked back.

Cartridge razors are dogsh! And made to only make the company money snd nevrr benefit YOU and multiple blades against the skin actually causes putred irritation and ingrown hairs, cause the first blade cuts the hair then the second comes at the skin snd continues It's called the razor blade scam for a reason

I have thick hairs and can’t even drag the cartridge razor down thick areas (like mustache, chin, jaw line), it just grabs the hairs and can’t keep going. Even with a brand new one, and soft hair out of hot shower, can’t cut through. Plus takes 4-6 pass overs to get 90% of it. Massive pain! Might try a safety blade instead, or man up and just buy a single edge knife.

@@sucraloss Currently I just use the one blade (electric, but closer shave than an electric close shave guard). It’s alright. Doesn’t last as long as a real shave, but doesn’t upset my skin as much either. Still think a safety razor/straight edge is best, but don’t cheap out .. the good ones are expensive.

@@carsonhunt4642 Thanks! I've used the one blade before too so I know what you mean. Even with the one blade I would still sometimes nick myself. My beard is both thick and grows in bizarre ways, especially near my adam's apple. I tried today the Gillette blade that is for sensitive skin (only has two blades in the cartridge) and it went a bit better. I hate in all these shaving videos it shows people just going straight from their chin down to their neck. If I attempted that I would immediately cut the hell out of my face. My dad never taught me how to manual shave, though that's because he taught me how to use an electric razor instead. Guess he has the same beard problems as me...

Once I learned Barbasol has Propane in it, I stopped using it. Don't think it's good to put flammable liquids on your skin, but whatever floats your boat. I'll just stick with shaving soap with my single blade safety razor.

Ok, and how often do you have to replace your cartridges? How many shaves does one cartridge last for you, before it get clogged with hair and the blades get dull? 6? 7?

As one old joke about multi-blade cartridge razors goes, the first blade in the cartridge cuts off the top of your hair... and the tenth blade polishes the surface of your teeth.

If the first blade in a cartridge razor doesn't cut the hair in a single pass then why should we believe a single razor would? By your logic I'd have to drag a single blade razor over my face again and again to cut all the hairs
@onebladeshave
@onebladeshave Рік тому
Sort of.. a good single edge shave, regardless of the razor, should incorporate three passes.. with the grain, across the grain, then against the grain. The issue with multiblades is that the blades are so close to each other that they cut as the hair is being pulled up.

Not true. My cartridges are brand new (ive tried fusion 5 blade and mach3 3 blade), and even shower first and use hot room and hot water, gel, etc. If you have thick hair the multiple blades grab too much area at once. The amount of pressure you use to cut through feels like you’re gonna rip your hair out. You clearly don’t have thick hair, or just press like a beast and not worried about skin damage
