Sending my OneBlade Hybrid back

[jgreenepa]

Yes, you’re listening to him, the only guy who can cut himself with the unnickable OneBlade Hybrid razor. I’ve really been trying with this thing, but I have yet after two weeks been able to complete a shave with it. This morning I started a face shave until I cut myself rather badly under my right ear. Whipped out the Barbasol and finished the job with the rest of the shave having no issues. I think my problem is that I have never shaved with a cartridge razor in my life. I used a DE for half a century and never used a cartridge razor. I did use an electric on and off over the years when I was traveling on business, but that’s really the extent of it. I think this OneBlade is targeted at cartridge razor users. Apparently the technique is similar. I gave one to my stepson, and he’s been using it with no problem, but he was a cartridge user. This dang thing doesn’t work for me. If they won’t take it back I’ll probably just PIF both razors.
I am beyond frustrated!

The trick with cart technique is that there is no trick, it doesn’t require technique.

At least you have it a good go.

Sorry to hear

I have the Genesis and find it an effortless, thoughtless shave. I just apply enough pressure to engage pivot, then I just take long strokes and let the pivot do it's thing. Just let it do it's thing and try not to shave with it.
