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.

I was so used to using cartridge razors ever since I started shaving. I`ve seen some things about safety razors before, but I never cared about looking into them more. Their design is what drew me in mostly. Once I read the benefits of what they can do, I decided to buy one myself. I was scared of using them at first because of the sharpness of one blade but I went with it. I had to figure out the angle but once I did, I saw a huge difference on my face in a couple of days. It looked way smoother and little to no irritation.
Personally, I like taking my time with it. With cartridges, I could go faster but they get dull quick. The safety blades could last a bit longer for me anyway. One of my favorites about them is the dual-sided blade. So, I could use one side for like a week, then the next week I use the other side before replacing just the blade. After using them, going back to cartridge razors feels cheap and not as effective. So worth getting them.
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.
i would like to add that there is a common saying that shavinng AGAINST the grain couses ingrown hairs
i do shave both against and same way as the grain so i can get a perfect shave ( not always it takes too long )
i have never had a ingrown hair
1:11 he literally shaves it from his eyebrows. Da fuq.😭😭😭
1:17 of course, he did.
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 an extremely thick beard and honestly have never had a problem with cartridge razors. i just prefer safety razors, so much more enjoyable.
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.
@@carsonhunt4642 What did you end up doing? I have the same problem and a 5-blade razor didn't work at all, going to try a two-blade Gillette razor for sensitive skin to see if that's easier.
@@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...
I’ve been shaving with Barbasol ultra 6 plus cartridge razor 🪒 4 years ago and I have no problem using them on my face.
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.
No wonder I was getting razor bumps and irritation a few days ago. Dumbass older brother thought that a cartridge double razor was faster. Wrong. Might look for a barbershop for a shave soon
😂😂😂😅
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?
That's good but you're still overpaying into the gimmick of multi-blade carts.
Dude literally almost shaved his eyebrow off!
😂
"they're seeing alot of animation and visuals".... proceeds to use animations and visuals 😆
..fire with fire...
Lol
@onebladeshave 👍
Real men need only one blade instead of five or three.
💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼 We’ve put over $1 Million in R&D so we can confidentially say: OneBlade Single Blade Safety Razors provide the closest shave on earth.
@@onebladeshaveI wish we’re allowed to take the airport.
Agreed 100% 👍👍👍
@@nathancruz9172yep, travelling is the only time when I'm still using cartrigde razors, because they don't allow classic razors in the baggage on airplanes.
Wax your face instead!
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.
DUDE THIS HURT ME....😢😂😂😂😂
@@zeddh4d3s67 😆
Well, MY beard starts at my eyebrows! There's hair coming out of my face there - I'll go shave it! - With [my] eyes closed!
😂😂
Lol
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
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.
@@onebladeshave hair only gets pulled if your blade is dull so always check for a sharp edge
@@toge69 which gets expensive pretty quickly!
@@onebladeshave not if ya treat ya razor good
@@onebladeshaveplus, some different brands of multi blades are expensive like Gillette.
Christmas... that one guy is like starting his shave from his forehead... :P maybe he needs a cartridge razor if the idea is to shave with your eyes closed and not cut yourself... lol. Yikes! :D
I do have unexplained bad skin it's either this or my bad sleep idk man
If this were true, nobody would use these razors. Everybody would ditch them because every time you use the razor it would always cause ingrown hairs. But that doesn’t happen, does it?
No not for everybody. It depends on the person's skin. I shaved my assneck with twin blade cartridge razors for 58 yrs and never had a problem.
happens to me every time
I get ingrown hairs when using cartridge razors on my face or private area. It's like 90% chance of getting at least one
@@frankdiscussion2069 you've been using twin cartridge razors since 1965/66? where did you buy them back then
Cartridge razors are a nightmare for African Americans. I'm black and whenever I use them, I get bumps for days. I just started using safety razors today because Im just now learning about them.
i bought this oneblade damn thing uses propriety blades and they are expensive what a waste of money!!!
What's "oneblade'? Is that a razor brand, or something?
All your doing is scratching and peeling the hell out of your skin whenever you have multi blades safety razors are the way to go
Exactly!
Or have your face waxed!
@@shutterbug_713 are you going to make this lame joke under every comment to this video? Lol
@@antona.4572 no joke, doofus!
Btw tugging the hair only happens on dull razors
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
@@carsonhunt4642 bro how thick it hair like damn but ngl for trimming I'm Hella into stuff like the one blade
yep, one blade is actually doing a better job than three or five inside a cartridge. Embarrasing for the manufacturers and marketers, isn't it? Lol
Why does the first blade pull the hair out..? Why doesn’t it cut..? Having a hard time believing that.
It must be dull out of the box, or something, lol
Seems like 2 blades are the best amount.
Nope. One blade double edge or straight is the only way.
Might as well pluck. I'll give 2 buck if anyone invented a auto hair plucker.
Have yer face waxed instead!
