I survived a lathey foreman
Thanks @Ron R !

I have the Peerless version of the Clog-Pruf.
Right on, it is a good mid range razor. When I got mine from the big auction house on line I realized the previous owner must of been using pre-shave oils of some sort because it was a lot work to remove the almost tar like substance, but with perseverance in was removed and have enjoyed it for some time now in my large ASR razor rotation.

I am sorry you had to do all that extra cleaning!
Fortunately, mine was clean.

Thanks again for your razor recommendations!
 
Today I shaved with the MMOC.
I really was bracing myself for a lot of blade feel and a super aggressive shave and I was pleasantly surprised to get one of the best shaves ever!

I have never liked open combs for any blade format until now. This is the first open comb that did not have excessive blade feel. This has to be the best GEM shave I have had so far and one of the best shaves no matter what blade format. I used a full spine shim since this MMOC is bumpless.

For now on, I will not excluded open comb GEM razors from my den.
