    Received my Daveso Garanti in the mail yesterday and it's looks like it walked off the manufacturing line yesterday. Beautiful.

    It's a, I assume, relatively early version of a dual-comb DE razor. How early I don't actually know as finding information about this razor. I think it's German but even that I'm not 100% sure on.
    I do know that the brand also came out with a full OC head with a similar looking handle.

    If anyone know anything at all about this brand I'd love to learn more.

    There were other dual-combs out around the 1930-1940's like this one from Solingen in Germany:

    It's a traditional three-piece design and here you can see the dual-comb a bit:

    For fun here's a couple of photos comparing the head to the Wolfman dual-comb head:

    Tried out the Daveso this morning for the first time and had a great - and rather interesting shave.
    I normally, for whatever incorrect reason I've decided to stick to, view OC heads as more aggressive than closed combs - this razor really challenges that notion.

    I went through my normal two-pass shave (WTG and ATG) and alternated the head sides for each half of the face.

    The closed comb/safety bar side was very audible and rather aggressive. I really did feel as if I had to think of what I was doing. No cuts though.
    The open comb side was extremely comfortable. Less audible and I felt less worried about accidentally cutting myself.
    Both sides of the head delivered a stellar shave in the end and after my two passes I was as clean shaven as with the best of my razors.

    A fantastic design I wish could be carried into a modern offering. I'll try it out another couple of times but I get a very strong sense of that this will be one of the razors I'll hang on to.

    This is my Daveso Garanti OC razor.
    It is an Open Comb mid-aggressive safety razor.
