    Occam’s lost me on this one with the need for an external tool for a blade change. Plus a special blade and price. Thank you once again Mark for a thorough review.

    • @MarkSzorady
      @MarkSzorady  2 роки тому

      Albert, I find myself not using the tool at all. After a few tries, I found that it becomes quite easy to load and unload a blade.

    Nice! I love my Occam. Don’t know how I missed this video. I saw Randy Shaves mention they were still available and at a discount like your other viewer did. I’m so glad I picked on up. Super smooth shave. My 2nd favorite razor after my PAA Meta-4.

      Hi, JMGeronimo. I'm very happy that I added this to my collection. I'm not sure if these are still being manufactured. I sure would like to get a O.R.E.N. Razor - Occam's Razor Enhanced Nano. But still listed as sold out.

    I have both of the Occam’s razors and they are my 2nd favorite single edge razor. I find the one dot is really smooth and is where I settled. I learned to be careful with loading the blade because you can’t hit the cutting edge on those retaining tabs. Great shave Mark!

    • @MarkSzorady
      @MarkSzorady  2 роки тому +2

      Matthew, thanks.:) Yes, the blade has to be pressed down a bit so the cutting edge clears those tabs.

    I have this razor in the same rose gold color. I wish the O.R.E.N. version came in that color but it doesn’t, for now at least. I don’t use it often enough but I remember getting a great shave with it. I wish they sold the handle separately because I might buy it to make another razor with one of the other plates, just for convenience.

      Thanks, Mike. The Occam's razor is a different animal but really delivers a nice shave. Blade loading ix actually straightforward...you just need to do it a few times to get the hang of it. Have a great weekend. It's finally starting to warm up...but I think we in NE Ohio will have one more snowfall.

  • @borbetomagus

    I enjoy the performance this razor provides XTG on the neck than most any other razor. I use the 3-dot plate with Feather Professional Super single-edge blades (that are not recommended) and still find it provides a very smooth and efficient shave. Machined-out handles for all of the single-edge Occam's Razor models (for better grip) would preferable, like on the 'O.R.E.N.' or an option to use one's favorite longer knurled handle, both which most likely won't happen. This razor might have been inspired by the Enders 'Speed Razor' or 'Speed Shaver' made in the 1930s-1950s, which used proprietary, winged blades.

    • @MarkSzorady
      @MarkSzorady  2 роки тому

      Thanks, borbetomagus.:)Appreciate the additonal info. I'd like ot someday get a O.R.E.N. but afraid they may no longer be available. Interested in the improved grip it provides.

      @dimitardimitrov5366 Рік тому +1

      Best razor ATG on my neck too and overall! Period! Works best on 2 dots plate for me with Feather Super Professional I attribute that to the wide safety bar which the OREN doesn’t have and therefore feels more aggressive or rough, at least for me, compared to the Occam’s! The only downside is when it comes to work under my nose, but I always keep my Hawk V3 next to it for some final cleanups.

  • @randyshaves7956
    @randyshaves7956 2 роки тому

    Hey Mark, great shave with the Occam's. What I learned really quickly with the razor is to just grab it and go. I no longer even think about how I hold it just as I don't stop and think about using any other tool. Remember, the straight razor is very awkward to handle also and the handle is similarly shaped. Next time try to not even think about it, just start shaving and muscle memory will soon take over. I don't even notice the handle shape anymore. I am glad you got a really good shave. On another note I wish we could make gasoline last as long as an alum block! Thanks for the mention and I hope you continue to enjoy the Occam's!

    • @MarkSzorady
      @MarkSzorady  2 роки тому +1

      Randy, totally agree. I mentioned the same in this past MMMB. I now just grab the razor and get to the shave. I no longer think about how to hold/grasp the handle. I just shave with it.:) An enjoyable shave.

  • @BetterEveryShave
    @BetterEveryShave 2 роки тому

    Great shave, Mark! I have the O.R.E.N. version of this on loan and have had a good shave with it. I have been watching but it hasn't been in stock for many months. I'm not sure if they will have them back in stock. Maybe I'll be able to find one secondhand. I find it a little odd that they would suggest holding it that way but I'll try it to see how it feels. I agree that loading the blade is tricky until you understand how the mechanism works. One last thought. Every time I saw this razor it immediately reminded me of a vegetable peeler. Seeing in person only cemented that thought. Maybe not the most flattering comparison but an apt one. Thanks for the video!

  • @johnmeyer8098
    @johnmeyer8098 2 роки тому

    Hey Mark. I have the Occam NANO version with the open handle and a slight change to the head for a more versatile use. I hold my razor like a conventional razor. I also just use my hand to insert and remove the blade.
    I find it very easy to get a BBS shave. This razor doesn’t get the exposure or respect that it deserves IMO. A very intuitive razor.
    Have a great day and be safe.

    I found the against the grain pass was where this razor shines. I struggled with holding this razor to. Did not like the Feather Proguard Blades with plate 2, little to mild. Have some blades in route to try.

    • @MarkSzorady

    Nice shave and a great explanation on how to use the Occam razor. Personally, the razor isn't a good fit for me because the loading and unloading mechanism is too complicated for me as compared to loading a regular DE or SE injector. Have a great day.

    • @MarkSzorady
      @MarkSzorady  2 роки тому +1

      Apologies. That might require a separate video. It's a bit awkward holing it up to the camera. this is why I held it downward where I could more reliably load the blade. Even then, I missed one tab slightly.
      EDIT - Wait...Idouble checkedmy video...I show the loading process starting at 5:24. Again, a bit awkward holing it up to the camera. but still quite easy.

With my king c gillette and a wilkonsword blade. Nice smooth shave. I want to try a differant paa soap and after shave set. but im at a loss what to choose. so many. Do you have one you enjoy more then others? Again, great review as always. Have a great week

    • @MarkSzorady
      @MarkSzorady  2 роки тому +1

      Andrew, thaks for the nice comments. Yds, perhaps the Occam's razor is an acquired taste due to the shape of its handle.
      Regarding PPAA soaps, off the top of my head, the following are ones I really enjoy. Clubguy (Homage to Clubman Pinuad), CaD (Homage to Barbasol), Hotel Cecil (Homage to Burma Shave), John Frum, Droid Black Homafge to Floid Black), Atomic Age Bay Rum, High Jump 47. There are others. I'd have to look at my collection. Also, Oud Spice is fantastic but only offered at specific times. It's somewaht regarded as the Unobtanium of shaving soaps. I encourage you to get the app and get on the mailing list for when this one drops.

      @MarkSzorady  2 роки тому +1

      My pleasure, KP. Yes, others have found the plate exchange process (screws, Phillips screwdriver, etc.) to be a deal breaker. But, for me, the #2 plate works fine. So, I doubt I'll ever swap out the plates. I'd think once you find the plate that works for you, you won't be swapping it out again.
