It looks encouraging. I'm anxious for feedback. I'm sure someone will try it. It seems to tick at least some of the boxes I laid out awhile ago. It's not a deal breaker for me that it doesn't pivot. I think pivot would be nice, but it would drive up cost. Poorly done pivot is worse than no pivot. No lube strip is a big plus!

What we really need in the cart world
A high quality single blade cart. I know the Gillette Guard exists, but I want a nice handle and a head with a spring loaded pivot and so on. For the shaver that wants such, the Skin Guard is the closes option and frankly is probably as good as a single blade as the two blades are so far...

I think he was trying to imitate GeoFat boy in some ways, but with a hat rather than a bandana. I watched about 30 seconds of the video and switched to reading pages on the website.
I'm curious. It remains to be seen if I'm curious enough to plunk down my money, but they've got the right idea.
why not just buying a pack of BIC metal?
I was thinking the same thing. The biggest issue for me is the head and connection, is it proprietary? Will you stock up if yes? Just in case?
Looks interesting anyway.
definitely looks interesting.. not too expensive as a handle. But $10 for 12 blades, seems a bit high, different subscriptions for time arent cheaper though, just subscriptions.
It seems to be in the neighborhood of the cost of a pack of 10 store-brand Trac II carts, at least around these parts. I might bite the bullet and try it. The Gillette Guard is a good razor, but I'd like to see a more consistently good single-blade cartridge razor, and the handle certainly seems to be more robustly made.
Oh what the heck, I ordered the starter kit. It'll be interesting to see how it works.
do you know if the head pivots or not?
According to the web site FAQ, it does not.

Please give us your reactions after you use them....what do you currently shave with and how do they work for you?
thanks for the clarification. If so, I'm definitely not interested.For me, the main point of using a cart is the pivoting head.
i was thinking i would too as a travel razor... but all my travel has been cancelled and with my luck, something with the uno company would happen before i got to use it as such.
I use several different razors: Gillette Super Blue (Tech), Wilkinson Sword Classic (black plastic), King C. Gillette, RazoRock Hawk, Trac II, Gillette Guard, and Bic Flex5 Hybrid. They all work well.
Well, my UNO arrived today. Haven't done much more than take it out of the shipping envelope, but I think I'll give it a test run tomorrow morning.
I’m looking forward to reading your thoughts and review of this razor!
