    Hey Guys,

    Here's the open comb I received this morning. It took 2 hours to clean up.

    She is a 1930 New Gillette Thin Bar, Otto Roth Stamped. The handle may be original or it might be off a 1933 Exposition Model from the Chicago's world fair.

    She is currently loaded with a Gillette 7 O'Clock for tomorrow morning.

    Thank you for looking,,,,,

    That's a cool Gillette!
    Let us know how the open comb compares to other Gillettes, please.

    I will,,, I have used several open combs before,,, I load with a mild blade, usually a Shark, but tomorrow I will give the Gillette 7 O'Clock a try.

    A little slower, no pressure but the weight of the razor usually.

    Great job John!
    I have a sleeve of 7 am's as well. Good blade, not too aggressive, IMO.
    Loaded them in the M'lord...

    Hey guys,

    These past 2 weeks have been good for the open combs. This one needed no cleaning; only sanitized it. I'm not sure that it ever saw much use, no wear marks at all on it.

    It's a 1931 Gillette Goodwill, at least the head is, quite possibly the handle came with it.

    Thanks for looking,,,,
