    This is my Damaskeene with a true open comb. Has anyone seen one of these before- I know I haven't.
    Sorry about the quality of pics- but it took 45 minutes for me to upload these with my dial up internet!

    A few members have this model. I do not. It doesn't come up very often. It looks very nice and I would love to try one! Congrats! How do you like it?

    I have not tried it yet, but I am a big fan of the CC version.

    I have read that its really not more aggressive than the cc model which I like...if it bites you I will be happy to take off your hands. Nice razor btw.

    I keep kicking myself fior passing up one up a while back as I really like my closed comb version. I even bugged Tom about it asking if such a thing even existed... sigh, live and learn.

    Nice razor by the way!

    These OC Damaskeenes are wonderful shavers. I was lucky enough to find one after a 'lot' of looking.
