I'm a little confused as to what open comb razors actually do. Do they REALLY allow you to cut longer growth easier? Do they really allow more soap to stay on the skin and thus create more slickness or cushion? Do they just allow the blade to get closed to the skin thus resulting in a more "aggressive" or "efficient" shave? Or do they do all of the above?
I ask because with a lot of stuff in the shaving world it seems that everything is based on personal perception and not necessarily on any kind of reproducible science or something like that.
I also tend to go quite a few days between shaves because the skin on my neck demands it so if an OC truly makes it easier to mow through 4 or 5 days of growth without tugging and other irritation then I would be intrigued.
