One Blade Core

Check it out.

Not sure if want.

When I saw it my first instinct was to buy instantly, but the plastic just puts me off.

BUT, if it shaves like the original is supposed to it's a steal.

Ah! My bad, I only looked in the safety razors forum.

Honestly when the one blade came out and they where touting it as the best shave possible I wrote it off instantly, it struck me as very pretentious and the lack of blade choice is a drawback too.

Same here. A pivoted head sounds like cheating too.

The lack of blade options is the only thing keeping me from trying the core.

if they had just gone with DE blades or artist club blades everything would be fine, still wouldn't pay $400 for the steel or $50 for the plastic but that's me, I'm sure many feel differently.

I'm kind of intrigued to try one, but I can't see it giving the results it claims.

I've owned the OneBlade (all stainless steel version now referred to as the Genesis) and found it to be an extremely comfortable razor. Given the outrageous price and proprietary blade business model I wanted to dislike the razor, however I do in fact like it. The pivot head eliminates the issue of pressure, in fact the razor operates with the reverse principle in that you need to apply pressure. I found it delivered absolutely zero irritation, but was a tad too mild for my tastes. The high investment puts it out of reach for most shavers, so the Core or plastic version should appeal to those interested in trying it.
