pics after make over.....another acquisition, I can't wait to clean them up!
i cant wait for my face to get whiskers too, sometimes i shave 2 times a day.My New open combs arrived today. I received a short and a long. When looking through the threads on the differences between them, it appears that some say the short comb shaves better while others say the long comb shaves better. Have to try them out to see which one suits me. The postman, along with complaining about how many packages I had today, also brought a ton of shaving-stuff samples. I never thought that I would look forward to shaving in the morning.
that looks brand new.............Read the full story on it's own thread, but here is my unexpected Rhodium OCMM...

sounds sweet, and imagine if u would used it as a paperweight as u was thinkingOk Brothers and sisters, I took the plunge and did my test shave with the "New and improved New razor". (that's a mouth full).
After finding out that the cap on my new long comb was from a short comb, I loaded up the Dremel and removed the four little tips in the corners. After getting them flush with the underside of the cap and polishing, it did not look too bad at all.
Usual routine this morning, shower and then shave prep. I face lathered with my AOS Lemon Essential cream and went to town on my face. I admit, I was very nervous with this shave because I was working with something that "I" altered. I normally do a three pass and a touch up under the chin, but not this morning. Surprisingly I was able to do ONLY a two pass and one little touch up with this modified razor. No weepers at all. In fact, I really could not tell I was even using an open comb razor. This thing glided across my face so smoothly and effortlessly.
I can now see why everyone boasts about the Gillette New being so great. Thanks to everyone for helping me figure out what was wrong with this razor and finding a solution to fixing it. Now I want to find a New that was not modified to see if there is any difference.
we are also known as ingrown hair fighters,I've joined the ranks of this exclusive club. I must say when I first started I was using a SS and a EJ. I was constantly getting red bumps and ingrowns. When I'd seek advice all I got was suggestions on technique, blade angle, lather, ect. Confident I had all these factors down I just got frustrated and went back to the sensor. Then I decided to give it another go and picked up an old type. That was the key to everything. I've never used a solid bar again and it's paid off big time. Every once in a while I'll step up to a straight, but it's alot of work and I'm just too lazy. So, if you see someone who's been trying and getting bumps and ingrowns, suggest they join the cult of OC!
