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

I've since been informed that the Cooper takes a proprietary blade. The center post is too wide. I might be able to modify a regular DE blade with a paper punch.

That’s a nice looking razor, Jan. I’m not familiar with the brand. Is it European? How do you like it compared to your other outstanding hardware?

 

I am going to post one of my shaves with this razor here because, after all, it is half-open comb.

Thursday's Shave


Proraso Pre Shave
Speick Shave Cream
Jayaruh #240
САЙВЕР Razor Dual Comb
Gillette Silver Blue
CWR
Thayer's Lemon WH
Speick AS

With this shave I am using only one blade with the САЙВЕР Razor Dual Comb razor. Yesterday, I put the blade on the bottom next to the base plate. Today, I moved the blade above the spacer next to the top. I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The Williams Mug Shave Soap face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #240 synthetic brush. I did two passes with the САЙВЕР Dual Comb Razor with a Gillette Silver Blue blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayer's Lemon WH and then Speick AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed... It was a very efficient shave. I am really liking this razor. Tomorrow, I will be using my fat handle tech handle with it.

 

Hi Dan - this is one of my SSSeygus razors from Spain - see https://sites.google.com/site/seygusrazor/
I have 2 OC's and 2 SB's - all mild yet efficient - they're in the top of my list (although I like the rest of my razors - especially the vintage Gillette NEWs - about the same)...

 

Cool razor. I read your other write-up. Are you saying you used only 1 blade instead of the extra split blade in addition to a regular DE blade?

Very cool razor, Jan. Thanks for sharing!
