I'm in... do they still make SB's???
Beautiful razors and great diversity. As for the R41, I'm taking a "stare decisis" approach on this thread and I went back and checked the OCtober archive -- the R41 has been welcomed as a participant going back to before 2016, so it's in this year as well.As I stated in my previous post, I won’t be shaving everyday with an OC razor but, I will shave with everyone in my possession at least once. Just want to keep it on the level and not throw the Gentleman off that started the thread and the basic outline that was given. The R41’s are semi hybrid razors, some consider they are open combs others don’t.
If the Gatekeeper @Flintstone65 deems that they are not true Open Combs, then they’re out. Just give me a heads up. I also have a Gamechanger .84 OC coming in as well. And yes, the KEEN Cutter & Enders SE’s are open combs as well.
The starting Line up for OCtober.......

The one you identify as a new improved looks like a ball end old type to me. Not positive though.
Very nice!!! And excellent photography, as usual!!!I have four true open combs in my rotation. They are from left: RazoRock SLOC, Gillette ball end NEW LC gold. Schone OC nickel and Schone OC gold (first two pix).
I used the Schone OC gold this morning (third pic)
I also have a Muhle R41 iKon OSS Handle, which I plan to use next week.

Are slant OC razors allowed for OCtober 2019?
Absolutely -- if that razor has an open comb, it is in!!! I've got my 3 OC slants, and assuming there is space in my rotation, I'm planning on at least one of them showing up. I was doing my OC count, and I have well over 30 different models (never mind the slight variations with models) with Open Combs....so some of mine won't make it off the bench this month.Are slant OC razors allowed for OCtober 2019?
Oh yeah....the Fasan double slant rocks!!!I'm guessing that falls under rule 1.
I should hope so. One of my recent finds was a beautiful vintage Fasan double slant razor.
ThanksVery nice!!! And excellent photography, as usual!!!
Well sir, usually I feel the need to reign your rule-bending nature in; but this time we're on the same page. (...) So bring on the beautiful Lather Catcher and let's rule-bend together!!! I am truly glad you're joining us!!!
Once I get my hands on JAWS and/or .84 OC plate I’ll be in, too. It’s my birthday month so maybe I owe it to myself to pick up a couple OC’s anyway
