Having one full week worth of growth. Using the timeless Razor titanium 68 open comb versus titanium 68 close come. Had a very scary mishap in the middle of the video.

I just want to say thank you. Because of this channel I've learned so much about shaving. I grew up without a father and it was up to my mom to teach me about shaving. I started shaving as a teen in the mid 90's. She gave me a disposable razor and that was it. I was left to figure it out on my own. In my adult life I've been using the cheap shaving gel and whatever disposable was on sale. I hated shaving. The post shave irritation was so bad that I would only shave once a week at most. It sucked. I'm now in my 40's and finally did some research on shaving. You're channel popped up and I started watching. Because of you I got my first real razor. The Manscaped Plow 2.0. I also got Taylor of Old Bond Street Sandalwood Shaving Cream, Parker Large Alum Block, Nivea Shave Balm and, Personna Double Edge Razor Blades. Per you recommendations. And wow, for the first time in my life I had a good shaving experience. Now a few months later I added the Leaf Twig and I'm now able to shave daily. I'm still learning and I'm still improving. So thank you again for your channel and all that you do. I'm much happier and my face feels so much better. I wish I knew about safety razor years ago. This has been life changing. I can't thank you enough

I own that I laughed out loud when the camera fell in the water. Good on you, David for leaving it in the video rather than editing it out. It's another part of the honesty that I appreciate in your reviews. Reality is not a perfectly edited video and compensated opinions. Hope you enjoyed a good round of golf! Cheers!

Well done video - thanks for keeping the camera blooper in. You can check the mount / tripod every use for weeks with no issues found, the 1st time you skip checking it - it’s loose. Welcome to the realities of video production.

Also a nice compo between open and closed comb on basically a weeks growth

[BryanD_XRP]

Great video Dave! Glad your camera is ok. I havnt tried one but from your videos it looks like timeless has it going on..have a great day playing golf!

[RHDaveShaves]

Very nice shave, David, thank you. Glad your camera survived! Don't have any open combs in my den, but have been wondering about them for a while. I may have to pull the trigger on one.

[eastwood]

My skin is pretty sensitive, but I'd say if you have longer growth that you should go for an open comb. It handles it way better than closed combs do.

[Sharpe-Shaver]

Nice shave Dave love the razor/blade match up. Hope all your equipment is all good

[JonathanLewis-gflu]

Good morning guys
Well I try my new times aluminum razor with stand and it shaved really really good. I did press a little too hard because used to have your razors but boy did it shave really really well and I’ll get better with it with time and patience really really good and it’s a very nice racer. I highly recommend it for anybody that wants to buy a nice razor for the money.

[RSturtleness]

Good vid. Liked seeing the comparison. I have a Parker open and Timeless closed. Will have to try a comparison myself. Sound was really good today. A nice balance between your voice and shave sound effects. Nice job. PS loved the jump scare. 😅

[pstarkey]

Another great shave video sir! Glad camera survived. I usually shave evry 5-6 days and my Yates 921 with the EH open plate goes through it like a hot knife through butter. Love it. Look forward to next video.

[RonnieYates]

The .68 OC plate is next on my list. I have the .95 scalloped. I usually prefer CC but understand that the OC teeth on timeless are different which make it very smooth. Glad the camera is working after taking a dip in the pool.

[saguarosmart]

Great comparison Dave! Hope your camera is ok. Both razors seem amazing. For 6 days of growth I would say the closed comb still did really well, however I was extremely impressed by the open comb, it completely obliterated 6 days of growth like a laser beam.

[rightsideupvt]

Used my closed comb Ti 68 yesterday for a face shave (it was great) and my Leaf Triple on my dome. It was glorious!

[Wittar]

I like open combs more, in general, than closed combs. However, my razor selection is more heavily weighted towards the closed comb for some reason. I have often wondered about which type of razor was “better”. Thanks for the side-by-side comparison.

[Medomsley]

Great video as always Ohio, thank you. That lined up moustache is a work of art! Great style.

[dubcheck]

I have just switched to a DE razor. The intention was to use it to head shave but i am practicing technique on my face first. After watching a few videos now, i can tell i do not have the right angle, just down to the sound. I think i may be a little scared of the razor. Shaving under the nose is also prooving tricky, did finish off with a cartridge razor in the end. Im sure i'll get the idea after a few more shaves.

[matthewhall]

Another informative video. I don't have a lot of products yet, so I improvise a little. You've talked about a pre shave lotion, I am using Paul Mitchell The Conditioner as a pre shave right now, and it helps. It's a leave in hair conditioner that can also be used a skin moisturizer. I wonder if I could get an open comb for my 6S, just a thought.

[Mr_ZB]

Great comparison shave, Dave. Glad your camera seemed to survive. I hope you had a great golf game today.

[RichardE]

Ive got the bronze open comb. Never shave with it. I use the close comb Stainless base plate .68 on my Bronze razor. Nice.

[rmannyp]

Great shave. Haven’t gotten to use a OC razor yet. On my bucket list.
