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

Breaking out my Gillette NEW for a week of shaves.

 

So I purchased a 2 razor lot and in the lot was what I thought just another Gillette New OC. But I noticed the handle and base plate is completely different from the one I have with my Red/Black set

This is the new one.


This is the red/black set


These are side by side


The red black set has longer teeth and the other has shorter. The stamping is also different. Anyone know what this is?

 

Gillette short comb vs long comb.

 

Thank you! Did it belong to a set ?

 

My first Goodwill razor has arrived in Hendersonville from Germany. That means, Lord willing, I will be using this baby in tomorrow's shave.

 

That is the best looking goodwill out of the ones I've seen. That base plate is awesome looking.

 

This one was made in England and marketed to France.

 

What does it shave like; can you compare/contrast it with anything?

 

That is a beauty. I must say " Goodwill hunting"

 

I will let you know tomorrow if it arrives today.

 

For those of you that may be Interested. There is a Watts razor on eBay right now. Never seen one of this before and it looks pretty cool.

 

This is my Goodwill razor cleaned up. If I had been thinking I would have posted my SOD here last week when it was up in the rotation.

 

Very cool! Those English Goodwill razors are hard to get. Congratulations!

 

I feel very fortunately indeed. Plus, I got a new friend out of the deal, @Marverel .

 

Dig it!!!

 

Need assistance gents. I can't seem to identify this razor. Mr. Razor doesn't have this razor listed
Edit* mr razor has it listed with the French service set and Jewelry set. But I'm not sure if this is the same one.

 

Hello Jorvaljr, that razor appears to be an English Gillette Long Comb New. Those are aftermarket cases often seen in Europe. I have two of that particular case, if it is not a Single Ring case.

 

Thank you for the info. So they made knock off Gillette cases in Europe? Wow!

 

I just looked at this case again, and I didn't notice a couple of things when I looked at it before. I think it must be a mismatched case, because I think it is a Single Ring Canadian case. Not original to that razor. Sorry I didn't catch that before.

 

Thanks! Any info is appreciated!
