Thread: Slant vs adjustables

Another favourite head design that I like and has been mentioned is the Open Comb. There again the efficiency of the head design varies from mild to wild. Certain models of the vintage Gillette open combs can be on the aggressive side but give a lovely shave if you treat them well. Yes, and clog proof too but the Merkur slant is pretty darn good in that respect also.

Just got a Cadet open comb and have to say it is one of if not my very best de shavers. Less than $20

I have read good things about those Cadet OCs. Can you compare it to a vintage Gillette OC?
