Years ago I bought the 1904 open-comb model with a nickel-plated finish. Now it's only available in chrome plating, IDK I think a vintage type of razor is better in nickel. Glad I kept that original 1904 model. Then there's the open-comb version of the 34C that I had and did sell (huge mistake). I really don't get why they quit making that one. Yes, they have an open-comb version of the three-piece, but I like the two-piece HD handle much much better. Merkur, if you are listening, bring back the HD handle open-comb!
Two Merkur Razors I Miss That Are No Longer Made

Well if you want one of the 1904's hit garage, estate sales, esty, might find.
For my part a gold 37 slant and a gold 2 piece OC would make me a happy camper!

Another view. Taken in 2010.
The one discontinued Merkur model that I wish that I had is the Bakelite model 45.
Very nice!
A golden Progress would be my ask…
The 45 I managed to acquire same as the 34G

IIRC the open comb version of the Merkur HD was the Merkur 11C. By many accounts it was a very mild razor.
Yet it was a wonderful looking razor and I regret that I didn't buy it when it was available.
