@Shaun asleep , you could order something like a Fatip, Parker, or Merkur open comb while waiting for a double open comb razor to eventually arrive. Upside? Two open comb razors!
OCtober 2021
- Thread starter Flintstone65
- Start date
I am in!
Will be in for my DE shaves. Most of my favourites are all OC so it will be easy!
- Gillette New Improved/Big Fellow(s)
- Gillette New Deluxe/Big Boy(s)
- WR2 1.45 OC
Friday is the first day of Open Comb October and I am going to shave each Friday of the month with an AutoStrop. Please join me for AutoStrop Friday in October, if you can! They all qualify, except the VC4.

I'll try... I only have 2 OC razors and I don't really like either one of them...
sure why not, I'm in. Got me a Karve F plate OC and a Blackbird brass OC, may have a Masamune or Nodachi OC plate at some point as well
I'm in as usual! I have some Old Types, News, and a Fatip. I may even try to find some blades for the Durham Duplex.
I am looking forward to starting this! My face might not be as happy as most of my OC razors/plates are very aggressive. 
I'm (partially) in and you can choose with which one I should start

Even more clueless than you
Partially in.
Thanks for the invite Dave. I only shave every other day, so I’m not shaving today and going three days so I can join you on Friday with an AutoStrop.
Yah, I'm in.
Many OC/SR doubles, some pure OC, some OC side of dual comb razors, no slant OCs unless I spring for a PAA Filament. And no SE OCs unless I stumble on a Damaskeene OC or forgive my Starling for its faults. At least a couple AutoStrop OCs - they need an outing!
There will be a few skipped days for some pure SR comic relief. I think I might make it through OCtober without using the same model OC twice.
@Multum in parvo , I'm voting lower right! I may kickoff with my most homicidal scraper, get it out of the way. It is that, or perhaps an AutoStrop OC Friday.

Thanks for joining in, Peter. I have my A2 loaded and ready for tomorrow.
I’m pumped to give my A1 it’s first shave. I better get busy and start stropping that vintage Valet blade.
I polished up my new RFB last night and will be giving it a test for OCtober for my next shave.
I really love how well battered old brass can be cleaned up to look so good

I'm in. But with a limited stable. If SEptember showed me anything, I'm not going to use all my razors, and I have more OCs than SE. What I am going to do for OCtober is focus on Old Types and a couple direct copies.
Not that it matters, but... I'm in
Tabac-OC-tober Fri 1st SOTD
Soap Tabac
Brush Yaqi 26mm Moka Express 2 Band Badger
Razor Gillette New SC
Blade Gillette London Bridge 1st
Aftershaves Stirling Witchhazel Orange Chill + Clubman Whiskey Woods
Missed using this excellent quality soap for a long time. Wow...truly epic lather! Rich, creamy, and very slick. Mild unique scent.
This razor and blade combination was excellent!! Smooth, comfortable, and efficient. 3passes for a mostly bbs finish but somehow incurred 2 weepers. Aftershaves were just as good too.

Still the Sept 30th here in Toronto. Tomorrow I start 100% OC October. 
My main Razors will be my Wolfman WR2, Karve OC-D and Razorock Hawk SE. I will likely also use my Game Changer Jaws .68/.84 and Gillette Goodwill.

I’m in—I saw a few photos of other’s line up and thought about taking a shot of my OCs. I can normally do 5 shaves a week, and then I began I taking a mental stock of the Gillette’s, and GEMs then someone mentioned Auto Strops and I got a bit nervous thinking I might run out of days before razors, and then remembered the Probak. Not bragging, I began thinking I need to thin them out when the thought crossed my mind that I’d have to take a picture when my wife wasn’t around. Crap, I just remembered the Segal.
