I have a modest but diverse collection of vintage Gillette razors. The only ones that gave me a close shave were the Slim and Fat Boy adjustables set at "9", until I bought a Gillette "New" model open comb. For me this razor shaves on par with my Merkur Slant and Futur, and is now my favorite vintage. Wanting to try an open comb, I decided on the "New" after reading in the posts that the Gillette "Old Style" and the Merkur Open Comb were overly mild shavers due to the narrow blade gap. Anyway, I was interested in reading what you other vintage users considered as your favorites. Thanks.
