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

Beautiful photo. Is the brush softening up some with use?

 

The brush is slowly softening up.

 

Before they soften up, the D01 brushes seem to have some serous scrub and scritch. At least mine did.

Blades Grim Smolder soap and AS

Good morning friends. This morning I was reminded why the MonoBilt was one of my favorite shavers. I decided to bowl lather this morning so that I could bask in the luxury of consistently creamy lather for all the passes. Also this was the first time trying the Voskhod, it felt a little rough for the first stroke on each side of the blade but after that it was buttery smooth and impressively sharp. I did my normal 3 passes and afterward the alum was dead silent and I caught the baby to boot. Have a great morning my friends!

Good morning friends! I had this shave last night before bed. The famed aggression of the Old Type can be easily tamed when you ride the cap and keep a light touch. Three easy drama free passes resulting in a DFS that left me relaxed and ready for bed.

On a side note I don't know if there are different levels of aggression in the Old Type heads depending on when they were made but this one is a pussycat compared to my Le Coq. Have a great day my friends!

One side of this bad boy is more aggressive than the other. Blade fits in snug but something is not lined up right. Even still, with light pressure and a careful hand, it gave a darn smooth shave.
