It's a cracking razor and with a Pro Guard fitted you would be hard pushed to even believe there is a blade attached.Wednesday 17 April
I have big thanks for today’s shave to Lee, @LeeMaz who very kindly agreed to a loan swap of his Occams OREN. They aren’t being made or sold now as far as I’m aware, so getting hold of one is a needle and haystack job. My first shave with it confirms why it has such a top rating amongst users. I used a new Schick Proline B-30, lathered up with the Omega 48 and set to work. Only a very light pressure required and 2 passes plus pick ups later and a bbs face emerged without drama. I like the OREN, the handle is unusual but fits the overall design of the razor. A solid rod type handle would look odd. Anyway you soon get used to the handle which fits my hand well.
Have a fine day fellas and anyone who would like to sell their OREN on please ppm me! Obviously Lee wants to keep his

Extro Bergamotto di CalabriaAnother fine shave with the EJ and it feels like there will be one more from the Feather blade installed. The Extro did its exploding with lather trick on the Trafalgar and created a mountain of superb lather. Two passes was sufficient and the a splash of Floïd for the first time this year was a welcome sign of spring!
