OCtober 2024 — Opening Our Hearts; and Combs; to Happy Razor Fun Time

[Ingolfur]

Final shave of the month!

I tackled a 3-to-4-day stubble with the Superslant L1++ OC. I could have opted for a more aggressive plate or even the R41 to get through it, but I wanted to put the L1++ OC to the test.

It turned out to be a great shave! Two passes and a nice, close finish.

After some agonising I decided to claim this as an open comb - on the basis that if an R41 is in so should this be.

My kind of thinking. I shaved with the Red Ring earlier this week for the same reason!

Enjoy!

Guido.

If anyone wants to have something on their hands for November, feel free to join in:

NOCvember 2024 - No Open Combs in November

All right shavers! OCtober is still in full effect at the moment (and I am enjoying it immensely!), but it is also time to already start looking ahead. NOCvember is slowly creeping nearer. November is the month for no open combs! Hence NOCvember!! Let’s ease up a little bit and put our safety...

A very enjoyable OCtober! Thank you.

I liked combining OCtober with OBtober. I started out thinking I'd play with some of my shavettes and ended up falling into the Weck Wormhole and really playing with shavettes. [shrug] It all worked out.

O.H.

@Old Hippie , an open blade razor is the openest comb razors of all.
