I bought four of these as a lot off of a prominent auction site that rhymes with Re-Spray, on the assumption that when buying sight-unseen TTO razors from an estate auction re-seller "as is", four razors might give me one that is usable. (Also, being me, why buy one razor when you could buy four?) Now I have four very usable OCMM - three chrome and one brass. People aren't kidding when they say these things are built like tanks. The mechanisms are somewhere between 75 and 100 years old, and still in perfect working order. The only issue is some perfectly expected plating loss here and there.
What really gets me about the thing is that I was expecting an aggressive monster of a razor, and while I can certainly feel blade on my face, I haven't had so much as a single weeper from it yet, never mind nicks and cuts. I'm sure it is coming, but when compared to some of my more aggressive DE razors, this thing is a pussycat. I can't get over how easy it is to get a really close shave with these razors even when I have never used a SE before.
You LOSERS have been keeping secrets here. Gotta stop.
