Yes and no. It depends. Kinda and maybe.
+1! Perhaps! (Really depends on the particular razor and your beard.)

I've been thinking about snapping up a NEW, and have been reading the pro/con on long comb vs. short comb. Sounds like the SC holds the blade a little more rigidly for a more efficient shave?
One site which has been mentioned positively here, Sport Shaving, has some copper/gold polished NEWs for sale. They look gorgeous, but in another thread it's mentioned that they tarnish a lot and require frequent polishing. How frequent? Every time you shave with it, once a week if you dry it off after a shave, or what?
Honestly, get them to plate one for you in a metal of your choice .the polished ones require more maintenance than you want in a daily driver.
Or you can check out Delta Echo. Just got a NEW LC from them yesterday and it looks awesome.

My understanding is delta delta echo refinished in baked-on paint finishes of the type used on firearms. I'm sure it's a good finish, but I'm thinking it won't look original, right?

I recall reading some years ago that open comb razors are best for heavy beards; is that strictly true? I have a medium beard but have always wanted to give one of these a go. So what is the deal with open combs?
The other part is an OC should NEVER really clog, no matter how dense, thick, or long the growth. I've had shaves with my Rockwell or Slim at lower settings, and that narrow gap sure makes it easy to clog them, even with just a 1 or 2 day growth or even a thick lather. An OC would just laugh off what would clog many SB razors.
Sounds like good advice. I'll definitely look for a NEW short comb or long comb, and if I like it, I'll have Chris at Razorplate.com re-coat it.Honestly, get them to plate one for you in a metal of your choice .the polished ones require more maintenance than you want in a daily driver.
Or you could buy an already replated one from Sport Shaving. Probably much quicker and no need to hunt for a good example first.Sounds like good advice. I'll definitely look for a NEW short comb or long comb, and if I like it, I'll have Chris at Razorplate.com re-coat it.
