OCtober 2018 ... All Open Comb razors are welcome.

"TSC's Master of Bourbon"
It is almost that time again. SEptember is ending and OCtober is almost here.

It is time to get all of those Open Comb razors out and ready for a month of shaving goodness.

I am going to commit to using Open Comb razors for the entire month of October. Who wants to join me (at least for a few shaves)?

While we are at it, let's fill this thread with lots of OC razor p0rn.
 
Alright! I think I have a couple OC at home I'll be pulling out. Does double open comb count from Razorock?
 
I’ll join in with my sole OC. The Fatip Grande.



This is is an old pic, I’ll try to get some newer ones ready for the 1st! Maybe I’ll even get lucky and pick up an SLOC from Razorock before then too....I’ve had my eye on it for a while, but I’m not sure if my skill level is up t the challenge lol.

The SLOC is actually fairly mild and a great performer. I love mine!
 
I haven't broke out my old type in a while. It is probably getting lonely. It will definitely make a few appearances.
 
I'm in. I committed to it over at the other place and so shall it be at TSC. I can participate only for three weeks though as I got to hop a flight somewhere. Of course I would still be participating because my travel razor is a Gillette Guard.

Right now my lineup includes:

Gillette Old Type
Gillette Cavalier New Improved
Gillette New Long Comb
Gillette New Short Comb
Gillette New De Luxe
Gillette New Flat Bottom
Gillette New Raised Flat Bottom
Probak
Fatip Grande
Pearl L55
Shavecraft 101
ATT S2
Ziglar Slant
Emir Dual Comb
Weck (Merkur) Open Comb
Henckels Rapide
Weck Surgical Prep
Kampfe Star 1902
CV Heljestrand

Got more, but not enough days.
 
Sure, I'll jump in. I won't say I'll dedicate the whole month to OC's but, you'll see me post more times than not....

- Gillette Single Ring
- Gillette New LC
- Gillette Old Type
- PAA DOC EVO SS
- PAA DOC Ascension Twist
- Muhle R41

And perhaps both a Fatip Grande & Schone. Not sure yet.....
 
Just shaved with my Weck OC Med Prep today for SEptember, but it will also be making an appearance in OCtober!
 
I have a few OC razors...so I'll commit to a few shaves...just not the whole month.
 
For OCtober I have the following:

1x Muhle R41
2x Fatip Piccolo
1x Maggard V2OC
1x RazoRock OLD Type
3x Gillette OLD type
2x Gillette NEW LC
1x Gillette NEW SC
1x PAA Bakelite OC Slant
2x MMOC (yes, I will be pulling these out again)
1x Valet Autostrop (this one didn't make it out for SEptember)

I also have a PAA DOC Ascension enroute.

These are the ones that I remember off the top of my head. I also might pickup another one or two as the month goes on.
 
Today's razor was the RazoRock OLD Type clone. Today's blade was an Astra SP. It was a great pairing.
