i felt the same as you when i first tried the Occam’s Oren,I'm not using what is available mate. I'm using what works. I've had virtually everything from straights to De's, from Injectors to Gems. While the journey is nice, the destination is better. Soap is still Soap, One Mans Wolfman is another Mans Tech. I'm not advocating everyone doing the same, God forbid. One thing is certain, boredom costs.
After your other post, I decided to seek out a twig and test out your setup for myself, I am always on a voyage of discovery.All I need to get a fantastic shave these days. MWF Soap, A decent Synthetic Brush, The Leaf Razor, The Twig Razor, A blade. After years of buying this and that, spending a bloody fortune, selling them all, buying them all again, selling them all again. I have realised that I can have a drama free perfectly acceptable shave with just these. I know it isn't for everyone, Some love to have a collection of fantastic Razors, Soaps, Brushes and all the paraphanailia that goes with a great shave and I hope you all really enjoy collecting and shaving but I have got there, I've never been happier.
The pleasure is all mine. Glad you enjoy the Twig/Leaf combo as much as I do.After your other post, I decided to seek out a twig and test out your setup for myself, I am always on a voyage of discovery.
I can confirm it is indeed all you really need and works extremely well.
Thank you for introducing me to the twig it really did surprise me, a lovely razor.
On a side note for me I have different moods and different razors to reflect this for eg my R41 2011 with a Bruce Lee blade (I feel like I am fighting Han's bladed hand) and it rocks my world as a child of the 70's lol and therefore not after the minimum setup yet.
Huge congratulations on recovering from your RAD and thank you for giving me a mini adventure.
i felt the same as you when i first tried the Occam’s Oren,
probably the best shave i ever had and i actually questioned on here what are we actually striving for if we have our best shave yet we keep buying products that are most likely not as good as our best shave.
But i guess most of us love the variety,
and getting down to the nitty gritty it’s sometimes not about the shave it’s all about what’s in our heads.
I think it’s very admirable for someone to use one of everything but i know my personality / Nature won’t allow that to happen.
i’m very similar to my wife,
never happy with what i have lol
We’re all the same lolHa!
I know what type of razor and blade is best for me. Yet I’ll still try other blades and bugger up my face in the name of “variety”.
I’m stupid!
