Your pocket will thank you for changing over too each blade does 5 shaves sometimes six I got a box of 100 wilkinsonsword blades for €19.95 back in June and had about fifteen blades already and still havent started on my 100 pack.

Every point you made was very valid. I've bought and used an open comb razor that held the blade at a very aggressive angle, no surprises that I don't use that particular razor anymore. After much trial and error I settled on using a combination razor where one side is open comb while the other side is closed, just because it suits how I live. You see sometimes I forget to shave for a week and when I finally get around to it the open comb does a great job of cutting away the long growth without the problem of a razor jammed up with hair, and with a final pass after re-lathering from the closed comb side the finished shave is excellent and smooth without any bloodshed.

Could you please mention the product brand; the combination one which you are using

Well done. Thanks for the honesty, it's appreciated when social media today is saturated with monetized incentives... In my experience, an open comb is useful for a week's stubble head shave, if it offers more gap. Naturally, with more stubble, I would use a thick lather which is easier to whisk with an open comb. Generally, with more gap and open teeth, it becomes an easier shave with fewer passes. In comparison with all other things being equal, a closed comb would either take a little more time rinsing off build-up, or an extra pass is needed. For regular shaves, I am like you, a closed comb like the R89 is perfect.

Have to agree with you Brian. The laws of physics say that you would get a more comfortable shave with a closed comb DE due to the glide being more continuous opposed to the open comb where you will have gaps. That’s the only difference, and/or benefit I can see between both types.

They both shave BUT the OC is more aggressive and you can achieve a faster BBS shave. I use the Muhle R1 and also love the Fatip OC head too. I started with a DE89 CC but for me the OC is better. But I agree with your argument, I had a Merkur OC and had to sell it as it was so mild it sucked! What would the R41 be classed as? There is no comb only a blunt rake! I’ll bought a Fatip slant yesterday and can’t wait to try it. In 2021 I think I’ll buy a Muhle Rocca stainless.

Close comb is for a small stubble but open comb is for heavy beard growth. Open comb will feel a little too aggressive when you have a small stuble and still use it.

@@viennakrakatoaleipzignumbers you know what, I completely forgot about this comment but you reminded me so although a bit late here are my findings: R41 vs R89 wouldn't be too different and it's just marketing gimmicks I thought when purchasing the extra head but I still did. After shaving with R89 once I thought it was pretty good but wasn't too easy to shave with, it just didn't cut very well at times I felt, you'd have to go over the same spots multiple times at times and you'd have to actually use some force cause it's so opposite of agressive (i guess). But still it was decent. After my first time using R89 I shaved with the R41 next and boy it was day and night difference. R41 is so sharp it feels like, i don't know if it's the difference in angle (if there is such a thing) or the open comb... it just cut everything pretty much perfectly BUT you have to have a very good control with it to not cut yourself or irritate your skin because as I mentioned it's crazy aggressive. I didn't cut myself but I irritated around the part under my chin because I went over it multiple times with lots of force so I kind of damaged the skin a bit on my first go. So all in all I'd suggest you get R41 and be extremely careful and once you get the hang of it (which I'm sure you will after a couple of uses) you'll be glad you got that one instead of R89. Hope that helps someone, have a great day you all!

I have both. You're right in that the design of the razor determines how close of a shave it can be. The blade also contributes. In my experience, open comb is great to shave off lots of hair at one time. It keeps the entire razor from building up which can be so annoying on a closed comb that sometimes you might have to take apart the razor mid shave to wipe collected cream/soap and hair stuck on the blade in between the razor. With open comb it's easier to rinse it off although it still depends on the amount of hair. Closed comb does make it easier for a closer shave because with more of the comb on the face, more of the skin is being pulled evenly allowing for a closer shave more evenly over more of the face at a time. Anyway, thanks for sharing, take care!

I used a safety for a short period many years ago, in my 20's and although I liked the closeness, I was just using regular bar soap and not prepping my face, so it was never really a comfortable shave. I just went back to a closed comb safety, and I was amazed at what proper skin prep can do. At first, I didn't think the blade was even touching my skin, and I was tempted to press down, because it felt like just the bar against my skin. Wow, was I wrong! Sooo smooth! Just need to get a little more technique right around the bottom of the neckline, but it was a great, easy shave and surprisingly, didn't cut myself once. And all I was using was a Van Der Hagen right off the drug store shelf with the blades it came with.

Hi Brian, I think there is a lot of hipe surrounding the closed or open comb competition, in my experience what really counts is how much of the blade is really exposed; you can find a closed comb that is an aggressive razor and, on the other hand, you can get a very gentle open comb. And then you got to be good at pairing it up to the right blade. Nice hobby the traditional shaving one!! Cheers from Sicily

If you've found closed comb works well for you then stick with it - everyone is different!

very nice video and always an interesting topic. and then, you also have the double open comb razors which act completely different in my experience. they can be very very mild, or quite efficient. i do find those pretty good at buffing because of the ‘lather channels’. So shorter strokes work really well with those for me. But I agree on the more scratchy feeling, depending on what razor ofcourse. When I haven’t shaved for some days I tend to go for a DOC or open comb. But ofcourse a closed comb will do fine too. The great thing about having so much choice: everyone can pick what they like and nothing is wrong as long as it works for you! :)

Hi Sebastian - thanks for watching. Out of the two razors you mentioned the Merkur 25C is the more aggressive razor. This is an open comb head so there is more blade exposure. Open comb razors are ideal for those with coarser stubble.

Hi, Great video ino because you just say the practicality of how it is without the hype which seems to be hard to find. I do get the less-clogging probability for open comb razors, but overall I'm a closed comb guy. Having said that, I was so p**sed off at Gillette's man-hating commercial that (encouraged by others) I've spent just over the last two years designing a new adjustable and replaceable blade SE razor to be made in the UK. After many prototypes it's just been completed this last month and will soon be launched on a crowdfunding site. It's awesome, not for everyone as there are so many personal likes and dislikes, but I won't ever have to buy another razor again, lol. PS: I came to watch the video because someone asked me to make an open comb accessory for mine and I just wanted to make sure what I thought about open comb's was factual. I'll do it, but the only reason is for the quickness on longer hair relative to clogging issues.

Open comb would allow a more efficient flow of lather and bristles through the head of the razor but any benefit is likely to be minimal. Thanks for watching! Brian

@@ExecutiveShaving awewome videos and im just sitting and waiting for the natural shaving cream to be restocked and ready for my purchase! So thanks to you guys! Ok, but if i got like a centimeter of beard and want to shave it, is a closed comb more likely to clog than an open?

You could just take the comb off and shave without it for long hair lol

For Lining or edging which is better ?

We would recommend a closed comb for this

What about length 80mm decent for a first timer I do have long hands but not fat fingers

100m long would suit you better, we have lots of options including the long handle Timor: www.executive-shaving.co.uk/timor-german-made-long-handle-closed-comb-safety-razor Brian

Open comb for long beards easier to get in there I belive

Closed comb is for me definitely I don't have thick facial hair and it's much safer compared to opened comb I just reapply shaving cream if I need to go back to shave that same spot

Open comb buy karo

У меня комбинированный timeless 0.68, одна сторона OC вторая SB. На шее грубый волос растёт вверх. Сколько бы я проходов ни делал SB стороной, чисто побриться не получается, однако OC сторона без проблем всё сбривает. Выводы делайте сами, но не верьте когда вам говорят, что между SB и OC нет разницы.

Vintage open comb for me.

yep. Thanks for watching. Brian

"when you shave down, for example, and look in the mirror you'll see lines of lather on the face where the blade seems to have missed cutting bristles" If this is the case you are either not using it correctly (i.e. your angle is way off) or you haven't actually used an OC razor. The blade is still a flat edge. I don't understand how you could be making blade contact and leaving lines of shaving cream or uncut hair behind.

You may be right, maybe my technique is not good, nonetheless - my preference is for closed comb and sales for closed comb razors are around 98% for closed comb. Thanks for watching. Brian

At this point I cannot stand open comb razors. My favorite razors are closed comb (SB safety Bar) slant razors like the Merkur 37c and the Ikon x3 slant. Probably my two favorite razors so far.

Thanks for watching - open comb razors are for people who really know what they're doing and have a tough beard. Good choice of razors!

Just too many different styles of razors being made, they come in all different aggressiveness regardless of closed or open comb. Just like Brian said, closed could be aggressive and open comb could be mild. I had Blackland Dart razor and it was aggressive for me so sold it, I also have Geo F Trumpers open comb travel razor and it's medium, definitely not aggressive.
