That's not our claim — it's Cool Material's. When one of the most respected gear and lifestyle publications on the internet leads with a line like that, they had better mean it.
They do.
Since OneBlade launched in 2013, editors, gear writers, and shaving obsessives have put our razor through its paces. Here's what they found:
"Nothing I have ever put to my face has sliced the hair as quickly, cleanly, or efficiently as the OneBlade. It was extremely thrilling, and I have to say it was by far the closest shave I've ever gotten."
"Shaving with OneBlade feels like no other shaving experience; it's completely new and unique."
"As soon as I made my first pass, I could practically hear my beard hairs crying for mercy."
"OneBlade is purely for the guy who wants the perfect shave and doesn't care how much it costs. He wants a completely new shave experience, and he's willing to pay for it."
— Dennis Green, Business Insider
"OneBlade isn't so much a razor as it is an obsessively engineered, high-precision shaving device."
"If Lucius Fox was going to design a razor specifically for Batman, OneBlade is probably what would come out of the Applied Sciences division."
"When you make a claim that you're creating the best of anything, you better be able to back it up. Based on what we've seen, they're putting their money where their mouth is."
— Cool Material
Fast Company called it a razor that "took no shortcuts" — a fitting description of a tool built from high-grade German stainless, finished with military-grade PVD coating, and hand polished to exacting tolerances.
Their verdict: OneBlade delivers on every promise.

Mantic59, one of the most trusted voices in the wet-shaving community, spent years with the OneBlade before rendering his verdict:
"The OneBlade gives me the closest, cleanest, most consistent shaves I have ever had. It's like the best of both shaving worlds — the consistency of a modern pivot razor with the comfort and simplicity of the single blade of an old-school razor. For me it's a truly great shave with less effort."
"I get great results. Every. Single. Time."
"Irritation is rare. I just cannot think of a time where I got anything more serious than a minor weeper — and even that comes once in a Blue Moon."
"Using the OneBlade brings an updated look to that idea for me: it's not only getting a great shave, but a general refinement as well. A mindful, almost meditative-like activity with a finely crafted tool."
"It has become my favorite, most-used razor. I like the OneBlade so much that I could practically be a brand ambassador for them."

From the Reddit r/wicked_edge — Community Review
"The quality of the OneBlade is head and shoulders over that of cartridge razors. Someone who's not into razors the way we are will probably be rightly impressed by how well it's made and designed."
"It *feels* high-precision. The precision of the razor's design can be felt in the smoothness of blade insertion and removal."
"An interesting and well-performing razor: extremely comfortable and very efficient."

The critics have spoken. So have the men and women who shave with OneBlade every morning. Over the past decade, our customers have given us more than 3,600 5-Star reviews.
"I have sensitive skin and coarse hair. Even electric razors cause me irritation at times. Razor burn was so bad I sometimes resorted to ice packs on my face. Then I tried OneBlade. I rarely get nicks or cuts now. Razor burn is rare. I no longer dread having to shave. I'm finally confident that I've found the proper razor."

"I also own a Rex Ambassador and a Paradigm Titanium SE. All three can provide great results — but only the OneBlade can do it EVERY TIME without cuts or irritation. The OneBlade is a notch above."
— Bill B., verified customer
"I love my OneBlade Razor. I came from years of DE shaving, and prefer the superior quality and sharpness of the Feather SE blades. The OneBlade design is extremely well thought out. The flex of the head is very comfortable. I get a close, worry-free shave without any cuts. I have no regrets."
— Verified customer
"I haven't cut myself shaving in at least a year, and I rarely get razor burn anymore. The OneBlade has been a game changer for me. Thank you for the excellent product — now keep those high standards."

"It's like the best of both shaving worlds. I get the closeness of a traditional single blade with none of the guesswork. My Gillette Fusion has been gathering dust in my medicine cabinet ever since."
