Blade changing is dead easy, haven’t even bothered with that little tool they supply.I am still on a learning curve with the Occams V2. Having changed to a No3 plate the aggressive one according to the Supplier, I used it yesterday with a Schick Proline, and though great around cheek an neck, found it a tad harsh on the chin.
Today I changed the Blade to a Kai Captain Titan Mild Pink, and the Shave was very good, much better round the chin than the Proline. The Shave Time is much shorter than when using a No2 plate, very similar time to when using other AC/SEs or the likes of an ER Streamline/ 1924. I am fast reaching the opinion that with its variable plates and shaving performance this is the best AC/SE Razor that I have used. Yes I know I have not tried the Vector, but strangely I find that that the "Spud Peeler" handle makes the Occams incredibly manoeuvrable.
Contrary to popular thought loading/unloading blades is not a problem, neither is changing the variable aggression plates.
I haven’t even also bothered changing from plate 2. For me it’s a case of if it ain’t broke don’t fix it. I get great shaves and I totally agree with you, best AC/SE out there.
