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

You're in charge of all my photography from now on! Nice setup.

 

Shave 4
Today was my first shave with my Gem Lather Catcher. I had to tweak the blade holding mechanism to get it to work correctly, and it now holds the blade securely with no distortion. I started with a Gem Stainless and did one pass with that blade before binning it and inserting a PTFE. The rest of the shave was OK, but that first pass caused a lot of irritation and a couple of weepers. The shave did end up BBS but not AGAIG. I will shave with it again, but I have to let the face heal before I attempt another shave with it.

 

It looks like a torture device.

Lather: MdC

Aftershave: Fine American Blend. Axe Shield Sensitive
Great shave! Five days using the iKon DLC OC I've mastered the angle, pressure needed to achieve a great shave. MdC really is the easiest soap I have to lather.
Go out and get it!

I ended up shaving with this OC razor this morning.
Can anyone guess what razor it is?

Knowing the people here I don't think it will be too hard.

 

looks like a Merkur

 

Nope. Guess again

 

Gillette new sc
with a different handle maybe?

 

Nope

 

idk, but it's a nice looking razor

 

Kinda looks like the ikon comb, but the angled cap looks different

 

Nope.

 

NEW DE Luxe?

 

Nope....but very close

 

NEW Big Boy.

 

Bingo!
NEW BigBoy Deluxe Chromium.

I really like this beast of a razor. It's very similar to the Barbasol FH razor in size/weight.

 

I thought it might have been a Big Fellow so I did a search to make sure. A picture of Big Boy came up in the results and bingo , lol.
