The Porter & Co. Genesis

Meet The Original Luxury Safety-Razor Now with a limited-edition Porter & Co. engraving Form meets function. The Genesis single-blade safety razor blends old-world single-blade shaving with modern engineering and a powerful aesthetic — redefining the lost art of single-blade shaving. Thanks to our patented Floating Head the Genesis delivers a close, clean shave without any irritation, without razor burn, and without the learning curve most single-blade razors come with. In partnership with OneBlade has produced a small number of limited-edition Genesis razors exclusively for Porter & Co. readers. Each one is etched with the Porter & Co. branding and comes with our unique stainless steel stand, and 10 FHS-Feather safety-blades. The Rolex of Razors 100% 316L German stainless steel. Coated in a military-grade PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) finish: a vacuum process where solid metals are vaporized into plasma and deposited atom-by-atom onto the razor. No plastic. No cartridges. No compromises. Precision-machined to ±0.05mm tolerance. The engineering precision normally reserved for surgical instruments and aerospace components, applied to your morning routine. Hand-assembled and polished. Each Genesis is built and finished by hand. You will feel the quality the first time you pick one up – and every time after that. Individually numbered. A unique serial number is carved into the back of the head. Patented Floating Edge Delivers Perfect Shave, Nick-Free This is what separates a Genesis from every other safety razor on the market. The head pivots automatically to follow the contours of your face — your jaw, your chin, under your nose — without you having to think about blade angle. You just shave, effortlessly. Over $1 million in R&D went into perfecting this Floating Head. It is not a gimmick. It is the result of years of testing and prototyping by a team of engineers who decided the morning shave deserved better. The result is a razor that holds the optimal angle for you. Automatically, every stroke, every contour, every time. One Blade. Zero Irritation. Dermatologists have been saying it for years: single-blade razors are better for sensitive skin. Fewer blades means fewer passes over the skin, less drag, and no hysteresis – the phenomenon where multi-blade cartridges lift the hair before cutting it, causing it to retract below the skin surface and create ingrown hairs. We engineering the Genesis around this principle. The result: No more razor burn. No more ingrown hairs. No more redness that lingers all day. And because the Floating Head holds the optimal blade angle automatically, there's no guesswork, no training, no special skill required – the razor does the work. You simply guide it. "It's like the best of both shaving worlds. I get the closeness of a traditional single blade with none of the guesswork. My Gillette Fusion has been gathering dust in my medicine cabinet ever since." — Bob M., verified customer The Easiest Safety Razor You'll Ever Use. Most men hesitate to switch from cartridges to a safety razor because they've heard it's hard. That you need to obsess over blade angle. That there's a months-long learning curve. That's true — for traditional safety razors. Not for Genesis. The patented pivot solves the angle problem entirely. The head adjusts automatically as it moves across your face, so you're never fighting the geometry. The only real adjustment is to use lighter pressure than you're used to. Most users are comfortable within three to five shaves. What you'll notice immediately: The razor feels substantial. Heavy. Solid. Purposeful. The blade loads with a click. No unscrewing. No assembly. No blade handling. The first pass feels different. Quieter. More contact, less drag. By shave three, most customers describe it as the best shave of their life. "It took a few shaves to get used to. By the fifth shave on the first blade, I've achieved smooth shaves each time. Once you have the correct angle and apply the right amount of pressure, you can complete three passes in no time." — Verified Purchaser " It has become my favorite, most-used razor. I like the OneBlade so much that I could practically be a brand ambassador for them." — Mantic59 - Sharpologist $300 Today, Then Nothing. Genesis starts at $300. We get it, that's a lot of money for a razor and certainly not for everyone. It's for the most discerning of shavers. The man who appreciates craftsmanship and the finer things in life. The man who will settle for nothing less than what Cool Materials dubbed "The Best Razor on Earth. Period." "OneBlade is purely for the guy who wants the perfect shave and doesn't care how much it costs. He wants a completely new shave experience, and he's willing to pay for it." — Business Insider That said, when you buy a Genesis, it is a one-time purchase. The razor itself has been built to last a lifetime — and backed our lifetime warranty. And depending on how often and how much of your face you shave, your blade cost going forward is a fraction of what you're spending now.
