I've got an old Gillette from 1905 or something; it's an open comb, and it doesn't open at the top (like yours), but the handle and comb section are one piece, and the top cover has a threaded shaft that runs the length of the handle to an internally threaded screw. The whole thing separates into 3 parts, and looks identical to this: Gillette 1905

I bought mine about 12 years ago, and used it daily for about 10 years. A couple years ago, I switched to a Merkur 34C, and prefer the Merkur; I found the Gillette to be quite brutal at times (it will occasionally peel the skin off, even going with the grain with the same technique/pressure as my Merkur), but I rarely have any issues with the Merkur (usually due to a lapse of judgement). The open comb on the Gillette is great for cutting through longer hair, however. I also have a Dovo Shavette; it allows me to use the same double-edged razor blades (snapped in half lengthwise) as my other razors. I use the Shavette on my face, and the Merkur on my head.

BTW, a good blade makes all the difference, and I hate Wilkinson Sword blades; I found them to be the worst of all the ones I've tried. I was a fan of Gillette blades, but they became hard to source locally a while back, so I found other options. I loved a particular brand called "Fresh", but I think they were a house brand for a company in Western Canada, and I can't source them anymore. I currently use Feather blades (even in my shavette... I like to live dangerously), and occasionally Merkur blades.

BTW: Welcome to the wonderful, intoxicating world of wet shaving. I'll leave this here: You're welcome.

Aren't disposable razors like the one shown in the pic a subset of safety razors?

(In contrast with disposable straight razors like this one)

I'd imagine you're question has already been answered, but you'd recently asked about a razor for your husband. I have had a fantastic time with one of these:

It has affordable, replaceable blades, a comfortable handle, and is genuinely well made. I bought it thinking I might go into straight razor shaving, but there's no need. The blades in this are nearly as long, and replaceable. You don't have to have a length of leather to sharpen your blade in your bathroom.

My girlfriend loves Dreadnaught cream. Even if he does not use the straight razor to shave, this cream smells amazing. I tell all my friends to buy it, regardless of their method.

Here's the brush I bought:

I love it.

You're welcome.

Unfortunately, Art of Shaving once again is overpriced compared to everyone else.

Amazon has this exact Dovo Shavette for $39.

Maggard has a very similar Dovo but with a black plastic handle for $33.

I use a Dovo shavette...I hate the name, but the quality is great. With it using disposable blades, you don't have to worry about honing or stropping.

u/Nekromos · 2 pointsr/wicked_edge

Actually, these are safety razors. What you've got there is generally known as a shavette. Shavette is technically a proprietary name for the Dovo version, but it has come to be used as a generic term for razors like these, much like 'Kleenex' has come to be used for tissues in some parts of the world.

This seems to be exactly it.

Google: Shavette.

For the record, i don't manscape anything but my face with one.

Any woman who wants me to shave my chest or anything else below my neck can piss off.

u/sk8thewater · -3 pointsr/wicked_edge

For a true beginner i would recommend using a Dovo Shavette because it doesnt need to be sharpened you can just replace the blades and the lack of ability to seriously mame yourself
