Piece of cake: I use only OC razors (except for when the mood strikes me to pull out an injector). I'll probably be alternating among 1) a New SC (replated by Chris Evatt) on a Maggard MR8 handle, 2) an ATT S2 Colossus, and 3) a 3-piece RFB that I'm waiting to be delivered from the UK. Count me in.

Sounds like a good plan! Got an Old and a New, both great shavers
I may as well throw my hat into the ring on this. I shave with my NEW LC. My Merkur 34chd is collecting dust
Man, you don't know what you are missing...
I'm in...
I'm in....it was fun last year
I forgot to mention the World War II OC German travel razor that I picked up earlier this year. I still haven't used it, and I really should. Think I'll use it when next I change razors, and see how it goes before committing to a blade and razor for October.
Has anyone used one of these that can mention how it handles? Is it like any old Gillette razors as far as how it handles?
I'm in, as I only use open combs anyway. Excited to see all of the other participants and their entries!
I found out what the German travel razor is called, I believe. Befa. Had to look for quite a while online to find that information. 
I think I'll go ahead and swap out my Gillette Travel Tech for this one to see how it handles.

I'm in slants in September and open combing it in October!
I'm in. I only use one safety bar, the Ikon Shavecraft Tech. I'll miss it, but not much.
I am in again this year, and I've added a few ponies to the stable!
For how many of us is "OCTober" like having an "Oxygen Tuesday"? 
I'll do my part to beef up the NEW/Old type portion of the end-of-month stats.

Had a blast participating last year. Looking forward to joining you guys again.
