I just got this vintage Old Type Open Comb Gillette and ... WOW ! What a shave !
I usually shave with Merkur Futur as my everyday shaver and occasionally with my 'as old as me' Fatboy. I tried some other Closed Bar DE's, but THIS one is something completely different. I put a new Feathers in and got the softest and closest BBS shave ever !!! No burn even after ATG at second pass and some buffing here and there.
Is it an individual matter, or are Open Comb DE's generally closer shavers ?
