I brought out my Gillette NEW SC from about a 9 month hiatus. Can't remember why I put it aside! The finest shaving razor I ever owned and the first open comb I purchased.
July 28, 2016 Wolfman WR-01 OC Ti with Hempel Ti Feather (3) Rudy Vey with Shavemac Finest Route 66 Perfect Storm Witch Hazel Floid Blue A great shave this morning. The Route 66 Perfect Storm was very easy to work into a rich slick lather. Sticking with a 3 pass shave with minimal touch ups ended in a near BBS. Finished off the shave with a splash of Floid Blue. I hope everyone has a fantastic Thursday.

Very nice Clint. If you had to choose the Timeless or the Wolfman, which would you choose (OC of course)? Sent from my Galaxy S6 using Tapatalk
Very good question. I will ask Mark @Boojum1 to chime in as well. In terms of fit and finish they are very close with a slight edge to the Wolfman. The coolness factor goes to the Timeless hands down. I have 1 Wolfman OC with the standard gap and 1 with the increased gap of 0.74mm. The Timeless OC is closer to the Wolfman with the increased gap. Both are very efficient and between the 2 it would be a touch choice. Given that the Timeless is readily available and the Wolfman not so easily, I would go with the Timeless.
Oooo... Love me some open combs! 1930 NEW DeLuxe Lady Jade... 1935 NEW SC and 15mm DeLuxe... Candaian NEW LC in Rhodium... 1920s OLD set... 1930 Criterion in a Federal case... 1930 NEW DeLuxe Norfolk Tuckaway in Chromium.. 1933 RFB #77 set... 1934 NEW DeLuxe Red and Black set ( I think this one is unused. You can still see the varnish)... And a 1921 NEW Improved Bostonian that I scored today... Whew!!! As you can see I'm partial to NEW Deluxes! Hope this wasn't too long winded...
Used my New Short Comb head on a SS handle with a Voskhod blade and as always, it did not disappoint. Had a great BBS shave without any irritation...........
And one more O/C. I found my Bulldog... It's a got a few hairline cracks, some plating loss (Might need a trip to RazorPlate for some silver ), and a one very slightly bent outer tooth but it ought to be a great shaver!
Hi fellow Shave Denizens, here's today's OC SOTD; 1906 Gillette Single Ring. Vintage Gillette Blue Blade. Kent BLK2 badger brush. Cella shave soap. Nivea post shave balm. Avon Mesmerize aftershave lotion. Avon Mesmerize cologne. This is a very aggressive razor/blade combo. I have found the vintage Gillette blades to be an extremely efficient blade to pair my Single Rings with. Unfortunately as far as this shave is concerned I hurried a little too much on the last pass, and gave myself some road rash on my face. Other than that, the shave is a DFS in two passes. Every time I rush a shave with this combination of razor and blade, I end up bloody. Lesson Finally Learned! Have a great day all! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
MR v2.0 Open Comb head with a MR5 Handle and this handle is quite heavy and the balance of this razor all together is fantastic.
