What's new

Open comb. New convert.

I have been DE shaving for a few months and already accumulated half a dozen razors (early RAD symptoms). Monday, the USPS delivered my latest acquisition, a user grade long comb New with a ball end handle (cracked at both ends but stable.)The new razor looked menacing. After a thorough cleaning, I put it away. After all, I was already planning to use Krona with crystal Personna for the entire week. But I just couldn’t wait.Yesterday morning I loaded my “new” New with an Astra, build up some nice Tobaco lather, and with great trepidation started shaving. Results were amazing! 2 WTG + 1 XTG. Smooth, close, no cuts or irritations. Same results today. I’m an open comb convert. Hallelujah!
 
I've had a bar handle "new" short comb for a few weeks now, and it's the only thing I use. My other razors are collecting dust. I know exactly what you're saying.
 
I am currently using an open comb head off of an old German travel razor with a Gillette Tech handle. The original handle breaks down into 2 pieces and can be difficult to disassemble when it is time to change blades. The handle switch has fixed that problem and given the razor some extra heft. I am a big fan of my open comb frankenrazor.
