I’ve grown to really love open comb razors!
I'm actually not surprised by this. I had the same experience with the OC blackbird vs the solid bar. The OC blackbird made me a fan of OC razors in general, even for daily shaving.
I don’t purchase many razors these days due to my satisfaction with the Timeless oc but when I do I usually go with the oc version, if one is available. That goes for vintage razors also. I’ll take a Gillette New sc or lc over a tech any day of the week.
In retrospect, I should have gone with the Ares instead of the Athena. But the appearance of the Athena handle got me. If I could have gotten the Ares head with the Athena handle that’s what I would have done. Lesson learned (I really dislike the Ares handle for some reason).
