Open or closed comb Damaskeene?

Nice. I have an open comb, it’s also very mild.
I’m reading opinions that the open comb version is even milder.
I think I’ve also heard there is a bit of variation from razor to razor.
Oh, that’s interesting! I wouldn’t think that different razors of the same time would differ, but I suppose manufacturing was a little less sophisticated back then.
I’ve also heard that the open comb is the milder of the two, which surprised me.
