Ingrown Hair. Razor Bumps. Razor Burn.
No matter what you try, you get ingrown hair and razor bumps. Does that sound familiar? That's because it is one of the most common dermatological issues we all face. Imagine that. This very common skin problem – totally self induced. Here's a hint... it's your razor.
Sensitive skin is everybody's skin. Nobody has a leather hide that can barely be damaged. But what is the best razor for human skin? What is the best hair removal technique?
Women have tried bikini wax, laser hair removal, and just about every razor that was ever made. Some may work better than others. Certainly, it's inconvenient to make an appointment and travel to get a wax. Even more so for laser hair removal. And the expense and pain involved... is it really necessary? Well, what’s personal comfort and a confident day in your swimsuit at the beach worth to ya? You know the answer, and that’s why you do it.
So, many women have given up on shaving because they know what will happen from personal experience. Unsightly bumps, redness, ingrown hair and irritation. Is there a way to conveniently and inexpensively remove unwanted hair at home with flawless results as often as you want? Yes.
Shaving with a single blade is what helps with razor bumps, razor burn and ingrown hair. It is the answer. But, not all single edge razors are created equal. Look at the options you have in this space:
You've got the cheap bagged orange disposable razors. The steel is very suspect, and may even be microscopically jagged – not good. Plus, it’s just a ton of plastic trash.
You've got old-fashioned safety razors. These razors have a raw blade you have to install, a heavy handle and wide head - way too wide to get to all the spots, if you know what I'm sayin'. They also have an exposed edge on both sides of the razor. Not super smart to be working with this and spinning it in your fingers down low in the nook by the thigh and the vag.
You have a few really expensive macho-looking gadgets, mostly made for men, which fail miserably in most respects when it comes to the female anatomy.
And finally, there is the UNO Shave Co. razor. This is a single blade razor with a thin and very maneuverable head, exceptionally high-quality Swedish stainless steel which is platinum and Teflon coated for smoothness and longevity, and very inexpensive replaceable cartridges for your convenience.
The skin problems mentioned above are being solved through logic at UNO. One really great blade and a fine, maneuverable head allow you to work the UNO all over your body. One cut. No tugging. No nastiness on your razor. That's what reduces the problems. Dragging five nasty, soap-scummed blades on a chonky neon brick across your most delicate parts is what creates them.
Multiple blade razors trap bacteria, skin cells, hair, soap... you name it. It does not wash clean with water in your shower. When you drag it back across your skin days or weeks later, it scrapes and cuts you microscopically, allowing that bacteria and nastiness to infect your skin. Meanwhile, its multiple blades are also tugging on your hair and pulling them in a way where they will snap back and recede below your skin - bringing the bacteria with it and causing the bumps, ingrown hairs and irritation. It really is that simple. Poor product design equals poor outcome.
An UNO razor's cartridges are $9.99 for a dozen. That's like 83 cents each. You buy your kit, and it comes with a dozen cartridges already. It's gonna last you a long time. Then when you're ready to re-order, boom. $9.99 for 12, plus modest shipping. Very easy.
At the end of the day, everyone needs a razor to use. The process of shaving and the razor you do it with should be simple and elegant, not ridiculous and harmful. The UNO was made to be a great razor that promotes good skin health, environmental stewardship and most importantly a really outstanding shave and beautiful skin. Was it made for dudes? I mean, not really. The target market is people with skin, which our research team tells us is pretty broad. We never wanted to patronize women by just making a razor with a different color handle and saying “this one's for you, ladies.” That's for the big razor companies to do. They do that (sell you a neon pink, purple, blue, green) razor because they're introducing themselves to you on a shelf for the first time when you were a pre-teen girl, when that sort of shit was appealing. Kinda unscrupulous, if you ask us.
The UNO is a very high quality shaving instrument and when you learn more about it, we are confident that you will see there is wisdom in this razor's design that will help you get the flawless shaving results you deserve, and beautiful skin.
