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

Here's my OC SOTD for today;

1918 Gillette US Army Old Type.
Lord Super Chrome blade.
Simpsons Special S-1 badger brush.
Caties Bubbles Spanish Holiday soap.
Nivea sensitive post shave balm.
Vintage Jade East as splash.
Vintage Jade East cologne.



After 98 years, this old razor still provided me with an awesome shave. A two pass BBS! Can't beat that ! Have a great evening everyone!

Gillette New improve from 1928-29
This is a really beautiful DE, almost tie with the golden New I also get. Maybe any Aristocrat OC could complete the triad for me. This is, by now, pretty fulfilling my whim.

That Speick shave cream is excellent!

 

Finally feeling like fall around here I'm in a tobacco-y, leather-y, spice kind of mood...

Gillette Bostonian and Rapira Super Stainless for a nice three pass BBS shave.

 

I used my Gillette NEW LC this morning with a full weekend of stubble and it mowed it down effortlessly with no clogging in 2 passes using a fresh Voskhod.

Hello everyone, here's my OC SOTD for today;

Gillette New LC/Pendragon handle.
Wilkinson Sword blade.
Simpsons S-1 Special badger brush.
Trumpers GFT shaving cream.
Nivea post shave balm.
Vintage Jade East as splash.
Vintage Jade East cologne.



This razor head/handle combo is very heavy, and the shave was aggressive. I caught myself using too much pressure and I got a couple of small weepers from it. I could have stopped at one pass- WTG and settled for a CCS, but I did two passes, and I rate this shave as a BBS with no touch up needed. All in all, a very good shave. Have a great day all!
