I will say the razor does look nice, well packaged, and appears nice quality.

Same here, ordered Stainless but got Gold.

Do those who have received the wrong finish know how to return the razor for the correct finish?  It seems like a lot of people are having this problem.  I have not received my v2 razor yet, but hopefully it will be in today's mail. And hopefully I will get the finish I ordered.

I am sure you can email them or go to the KickStarter page and leave a Comment there. I am just trying to decide if it's worth the trouble. Hoping you get the color you chose.

Kickstarter comments has acknowledgement of issue with wrong color. Sounds like shipments "rushed". Being reviewed and solution coming shortly.

Imagine that - problems with a Kickstarter razor. I also have faith in Occam's and others.

Just had my first shave with the OREN I loaded a Proline into the 2 dot head used the pre shave that I received with the razor and Sterling Rose soap. First the positives
1 The shorter guard made shaving under the nose much easier then the Occam
2 The handle was much easier to find a good grip as compared to the tongue depressor on the Occam. Mine also had what seem like unfinished edges on the inner bevel but I did not notice it during the shave
3 Very light and easy to maneuver with very little blade feel( this could be a negative for people who like a lot of blade feel)
4 Still very easy to load and unload the blade, and very easy to rinse
5 3 pass BBS with no nicks, cuts or irritation
Negatives
1 Blade still rattles even when in perfect position, It did not effect the shave
2 The screws used to change the heads still do not countersink or lay perfectly flat, again doesn’t effect the shave
I changed the head for the 3 dot to give it another spin tmw, it appears to significantly change the blade gap so I’ll be more careful tmw. I was able to use a little more pressure with the 2 dot than I would ever risk with my Cobra Classic or Rx. I must admit this is a very simple design for a razor and I really like the Occam but couldn’t live with the wide guard or the handle that I never felt like I had a good grip on. I am very happy that I bought this for its Kickstarter price, not sure what it will sell for. I did receive the Stainless Steel I ordered but it appears several have received the wrong one

I received my v2 today. Unfortunately, I got the wrong finish. I requested the brushed stainless and received the gold. It is untouched. It sounds like they moved the computerized survey data (that included the finish) from one format to another, and did not check the results against the original. A pretty basic mistake.

Started with the 3 dot head and the same Proline from the first shave ( only one shave on it) and had to stop half way thru the 1st pass WTG. The shave was harsh and not removing much stubble. I checked the blade alignment and it looked good so I took the blade out, relathered and put it in my Cobra Classic. 3 pass BBS and the only irritation was wear I started with the 3 dot. I just put the 2 dot head back on. I used the 3 dot mainly with the original Occam but not sure what’s different but no 3 dot for me with the OREN.

Any idea why the 3 dot is so different on the OREN (v2)vs the Occam's (v1) razor? Do you notice a difference with the 2 dot between these razors?
