AbsolutelyDoes this use AC blades?
You are correct - I did not notice this. I have Version 2 which I really like, but can not comment on the first version. Everything I have read V2 is an improvement over the original.Note that this is the first version, not the second one. IMO the second version is a better razor. But it is a great price and the first version is still a very good razor.

Looks like a potato peeler
Is this a good starter SE? Will it take the Gillette blades?
I think it is a great starter SE razor provided that you are looking for one that uses the Feather Pro AC style blades. It takes the Feather SE AC series, the KAI SE AC, and the Schick Proline AC blades. The blades are more expensive than DE blades, but they last much longer, at least for me. I get 3 shaves from a DE blade and 10+ shaves from the AC style SE blades. I think the Feather Pro blades ususally sell for about $15 so for me it ends up costing maybe 15 cents per shave. I have read that many folks get 20 shaves per blade with these AC style blades.

Well, that is definitely good news. I have been looking at getting a Gillette L, but for $30.00 more if this would be the better choice, then why not?
NOTE: The Schick L is an injector razor. The Occam's razor is not an injector razor. It uses the wider AC style blades. IMO, the AC style blades are the best blades I have every used. But injectors have many, many fans. If you are looking for an injector look elsewhere.
