    Im a vintage razor guy. Only modern razor i own is a edwin jagger de89. Ive been looking at the 101 because it has the open and closed comb.

    Any info would be great.

    I have one. I really like it! I do enjoy the closed comb more than the open. Its a razor that I'll never get rid of because of the great shaves I get from it.

    Thanks. Im a closed comb shaver so i figure i would use that side more.

    Is there any razor you would recommend more?

    I have the OSS which is in theory the same idea albeit there are differences in design, and of course the OSS is all stainless. Everyone I've heard that had both say the shaves are so similar that it makes more sense to go with the 101 due to the cost factor. If I had it to do over I would go with the 101. But the OSS is a great shaver, and I'll be using half of it for Open Comb October.

    The ikon tech is very aggressive! I have one and I can only use it once in awhile. A nice closed comb razor is RazoRocks SLAB it's like $40 comes with the ikon wave handle and the head is nice. Just a thought.

    I have one and it's a nice mild shave . Both sides seem to have about the same level of aggressiveness in my opinion.

    I'd go with the 101. Even though I don't use the open side the close bar is a great shave.

    I think you'll be hearing from them soon. 3 months seems to be the wait.

    The 101 is a very nice, MILD razor. The shave reminds me of a Tech, with some weight to it. It looks nice, and seems to have a bit more heft than other aluminum razors I have used. Unless you are mainly into aggressive, ie, the Ikon Tech or R41 types, I'd give it a shot.
