I already asked one person what their comparison was with these two. Anybody else have extensive use of BOTH and want to convice me why I should try open comb now? Thanks!!!!
There is no question should try an open comb. But which one? The News are fairly easy to come by and they are fabulous razors. I have been shaving with both Red Tips and News for quite some time.

Gillette News are actually old though right? They're not still making them is what I mean...It's because I like shiny new chrome looking razors. I might be willing to do my own rehandle if I can find out how to screw it on and off each time.
Well I can't find any News, I might go with a Merkur Open Comb. I dont' really want a stinking gold razor either and I don't really have the extra dough to spend replating a razor. A guy might sell me his open comb gillete head though, so that's exciting.
