Hey guys I am new to DE shaving and purchased an old gillette open comb razor for the early 1900s see the link below. After I purchased it I read somewhere that the older style open combs including the merkur remakes are no good with modern blades because they are much thinner and the edge sits too close to the comb and the gillette "News" made in the 20s were made much better for modern style blades. Does anybody have any opinion or has ever heard of this or have any advice for a newbie.
