The Science of Single-Blade Shaving

Data driven design. Expectation defying results.

WHY ONEBLADE?

AFBS

The Active Floating Blade System to adjust to the micro differences in skin texture and topography.

OPTIMAL WEIGHT AND ANGLES

Carefully weighted razors with perfect blade exposure ensure optimal force and angle to cut hair at the level of your skin with zero irritation.

ACTIVE FLOATING BLADE SYSTEM

Even the smoothest appearing skin, under magnification, is extremely bumpy and irregular. Most razors utilize blades at an angle that leads to the scraping of blades across your skin's topography, leading to the irritation and redness commonly associated with shaving. With our razors utilizing a blade nearly twice as thick as most others, we knew we needed to mitigate this issue. By allowing for a minuscule amount of 3-dimensional "play" in the blade, we were able to accomplish an increased level of forgiveness without sacrificing performance. With our Active Floating Blade System, the blade floats effortlessly, making micro-adjustments your skin's unique texture and removes hair while leaving your skin unharmed.

PERFECT ANGLES & UNIQUE SURFACES

The angle of the blade determines whether or not you are cutting the hair off your face or scraping it off. We opted not to leave this to chance and spent months testing just how much surface area was appropriate and the ratio of height and width that would allow the user to ensure razor head was properly oriented on their face without relying on pain as the indicator.

This meant that we needed the flat surfaces above and below the blade aperture to be just the right size and proportioned and oriented in just the right way. This also meant that the two surfaces needed to be almost on the same plane, but not exactly. In order to create just the right amount of friction and suction during shaving we had to be careful not to have too much surface area in contact with the skin to avoid a ‘stick slip’ experience wherein the razor head would tend to suction onto the soapy wet skin during the shaving process. So while the angle of any razor plays a big role in performance and comfort, OneBlade has removed almost all of the guess work.

ADAPTING TO THE CURVATURE OF YOU

While our floating blade technology adapts to surface level changes on your skin, it is only designed to move so much, and unless you are a 2-dimensional cartoon your face has some curves. Our pivoting head is positioned perfectly to allow for the freedom of movement that your face deserves. A precisely tuned stainless steel spring with a special wear-resistant Teflon coating gives you just the right amount of play when needed with the feedback of a fixed head razor.

THE BEST BLADES

Choose between two world-class blades: our new HiCarbon SE and the legendary Feather FHS-10.

The HiCarbon SE is crafted from 6Cr13 stainless steel with a carbon-rich core, chromium coating, and a smooth Teflon finish—delivering a balanced, forgiving shave.

The Feather FHS-10, made in Japan for surgical precision, offers unmatched sharpness and smoothness.

Both are perfectly paired with OneBlade razors for a premium shave, every time.

OLD WISDOM, REIMAGINED

We won't pretend that we are the first razor company to utilize a single blade for shaving and a pivoting razor head is not exactly a novel idea, but OneBlade's unique combination of the two, along with our patented razor design, leads to a true revolution in shaving technology and skin health.
