Wow… just… WOW !!!!
So, I got my Omnishaver yesterday; Thursday Jan 31, ’19.
I ordered it on Monday 1/28/19 and got it Thursday, 1/31/19… so those long waits people are mentioning in this thread, (this is an old thread and those posts are old too), are apparently a thing of the past, so that’s awesome.
I bought the Premium one, which is only a few dollars more than the Classic, but from reviews and such I figured it was worth it.
From their site:
**************************************************************
The Premium OmniShaver is almost three times the weight of the Classic model because of its' triple plated steel shaving head. This new OmniShaver is not only heavier, but it transfers captured heat to the skin's surface as the shave takes place.
Once the triple plated steel shaving head has been warmed up from the hot water, it will retain the heat throughout the shave which provides a soothing feel to the skin and helps to expand the hair follicle size so the blades can deliver as close a shave as possible.

Tried it out first thing today and… OMG WOW !!
Even being a bit tentative, I shaved 5 minutes off of my shave, (sorry… couldn’t resist, LOL), and it was as BBS as BBS can be !! Also, no nicks, irritation or anything. Definitely the equal of my Fusion 5, but oh SO MUCH FASTER. As I did with the Fusion, I’m sure I’ll get even faster over time and save even more time.
This was so much better, for me, than the Headblade ATX. I tried and tried. I used both the 4 blades and 6 blades, and while it was faster than the Fusion, it was no where even close to being BBS… even when I simply took longer, more strokes, (making it then take longer than the Fusion actually
), it still never quite got BBS to my standards. I know many swear by it, but maybe it’s just slightly different head shapes?
Either way, for $20 you get the Omnishaver and a little case for it. Tons and tons of videos out there with folks saying they’ve been using the same one for 7+ months, a year, and even one guy; 2 years. Heck, even if it lasted me the same 5’ish weeks that a pack of 4 Fusion blades lasts me… the cost is virtually the same, but I’m saving 5+ minutes every morning… that matters, to me at least.
I highly recommend that everyone give this a try… for $20 why not? Again, like the Headblade ATX was for me, maybe others won’t get the wonderful results I got… but again… for $20 it’s worth a shot IMHO.
I’m really hoping I get the 7+ months I’m seeing in reviews, but Omnishaver is being conservative and saying 3 to 4 months. Three months? Twenty bucks? Yeah… I’ll take that everyday and twice on Sunday
Take care,
Lou
