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

Thanks Clint!

 

Making good progress through my 1934 Christmas list.. Better late than never. An impeccable first shave from the Cooper and his co-conspirators.

Thanks you Alan!

 

Love the way the MonoBilt shaves! Congrats! these are very much becoming unobtainium!

 

Yeah, I spent some time last night trying to figure out why it works so well. Not sure still, but I'll note that the base plate is almost identical to the Segal but with a narrower top cap. I can't figure out what the relationship between the two manufacturers might have been, but the similarity between their handles and baseplate suggest there might have been one. FWIW note that the patent for the Cooper provided for an adapter that would allow the use of Segal blades.

Very interesting! One of these days a Segal will land in my lap and I'll give it a go.

 

Someone at Gillette clearly has one in their collection...

Really surprised by how nice the RazoRock Old Type is considering its price. That was one I expected little of but instead found it performed way above its price point.
