Occam’s Razor SS DE version....

Does this razor head shave similarly to the DE89 or is it more efficient? I find the DE89 a bit to mild, for me and I won't bother with this razor if it exhibits the same characteristics in the shave. Thank you.

I dig the look of the "open comb" plate, reminiscent of the Eclipse.

The DE89 is not in the same class with this razor my friend. I would classify both oc plates are similar to, in your case a Blackland Blackbird & Dart. Not exact but, somewhere in the same ballpark. At least that's what they both feel like to me Celestino. Hope that helps my friend....

Wow! That is not what I was expecting to hear, Gus. I guess I may have to try the razor, after all.
Thanks,

I can't tell you yet on what the straight bar version feels since I haven't shaved with it but, it's at the starting gate for tonight's shave. I'll have a report on it sometime this evening.....

Thanks, Gus.

I’ll make this as short and sweet as possible, Gents. As I stated a couple of days ago, I needed to try out the straight bar plate on the Occam’s SS DE. The first two were a nice surprise in terms of efficiency and relative smoothness to each particular plate. I performed my usual 3 pass shave with the sb plate plus a quick buff job on the chin and Sir Adam. Two tiny weepers on the chin and one at the Apple as I was pressed for time as the Misses and I are going out tonight for some some fine wine & dine. Anyways, the razor with this particular plate was very smooth and easy on the skin. If you want to say mild, ok I won’t argue with you on it but, it did exhibit a deceptively efficient cutting action that reminded me somewhat of a Karve with a C sb plate. Yes, I know. Many consider that plate to be on the milder side but, as a daily it’s a real good and comfortable combo. I think I’d say the same thing with the Occam’s DE and it’s sb plate. This combo would be a very nice daily for those that just want a quick morning shave with no fuss or muss. It delivered a damn good DFS and only left a couple of stragglers around the Apple (most of my razors have a tough time there) and a straggler or two at the jawline right under both sides of my ears. Still was a really good and comfy shave. I need to put some more time in with the plates and just fiddle a bit more with it but, I’m very impressed with it’s make, design and quality of finish. It gives a little bit of everything with all the base plates from nicely mild to quite efficient. And for the $$$ it’s a really good deal. Fitment is precise with a handle that is second to none in terms of the grip that it offers with knurling that’s just about perfect. I haven’t tried the top cap with the ridge down the middle as of yet and I’ll probably get a shave or two in with it just to see if it does aide with ones angle and technique. I like it and is a real alternative for those looking for a quality made safety razor set for well under $100. Mr. Webster & Classic Shaving promised a solid and affordable razor. They certainly delivered it here...



*On a side note. For the fragrance connoisseur (s) out there, the Guerlain L’Homme Ideal L’Intense Eau de Parfum is a fantastic fragrance. Dark, masculine, with a semi-sweet almond & smoke vibe oriental/spiceness that is pure heaven. A pure throwback with a pinch of modern perfumery thrown in. The best in the Ideal line up. Perfect for the colder climate and a night out. Highly recommend it........

Have a great evening with the Lady! Really glad you enjoyed this razor.

We look forward to dialing in our products based upon the feedback from folks at the forum.

On a side note this is what we have been making at the Idaho shop lately.

Luke
