OREN Occam

[haggises]

I tried it out a few months ago and was quite happy with it. Today, I pulled it out of hibernation, armed with a Feather Pro Super and had a very off shave. Kept missing narrow strips of stubble. Would give up cutting if angle slightly off.
Anyone else experienced the same? Wondering if the Super is just not good for the Occam. I can't think of a more obvious reason (yes I see what I did there)

That was my experience with it. A smooth shaver but left places unshaven strips/areas. That and the bulky head and not accepting Prolines made it a pass for me.

Solved the problem of not being able to find the Occam baseplates or, for that matter, my Feather Pros.

Used a GEM Damaskeene with a fresh PTFE SS blade and it was near perfect.
(Only near perfect because i kept having to clear long hair from under the blade. My fault for not shaving in over a week)

I used to own an Oren. It was just too bulky for me. The only good thing about it was that it’s sale funded the purchase of a Vector. I now own 3 AC razors now, and get great shaves from all of them, a Vector, a General V2, and a Hawk V3.
