Open Comb Central - The Place With Real Teeth (No R41, Hybrid or Closed Combs)

First time using the Old Type today. I picked up the head only that had been replated at a fair price and paired it with one of my favorite handles. I am sure it's me, but I found this razor to be much milder than I expected. Very similar to my New LC. I will spend the rest of the month with this razor.

 

The "engraved" top cap version is the one on my RAD list. What is that model?

 

Here is my modest collection of OC razors.
(Sorry the pic is a little out of focus - I'll work on it)

Top Row - L-R - New Standard, Bar Handle New Short Comb, Ball-end Handle Long Comb, Merker 41c "1904

Bottom Row - L-R - Old Type (great-uncle's), 1907 Single Ring (silver), Unbranded OC (nice shaver), German travel razor (gift from friend)


Still looking for a Goodwill with the post thru the top and any of the TTO OC's.

 

I haven't read up on it in a while, but I think the Goodwill 162, 164 and 175 have the diamond reverse studs protruding through the head. They were made in the US, England and Canada. I've had a tough time finding one myself.

To finish out my OC's, I'd like that goodwill, the OC TTO Aristo and a deluxe.

That's some great looking razors. Can't beat a good OC!!!!

Happy Fourth everyone!!!

Got my ATT system in and thought I'd share today's shave with it.

Used the Kronos Handle and R2 head. A beauty of a razor. The R2 shaves about like a Bostonian. Bit it was just my first time of using it. Takes a little different angle.
The weight is perfect.
This is my first stainless steal razor, so it might take me a little getting used to it.

So far, I really like.
Also got the Atlas Handle and R1, M2 plates.

 

Late Post for 5 July

How do you like the Phoenix? Is it mild, aggressive? I love the look.
