Got it John. Go buy an old new!yasuo200365 said:Don't guess - try. If you have an old style comb such as a Merkur 1904 the shims make a big difference & if you're adventurous and want to try a comb for the first time look for a vintage Gillette NEW.

I haven't tried shaving with it yet, but at the very least is shows that Gillette modified their open-comb design prior to the NEW model. I'll give it a whirl and post back with my findings.
