Wow, what a catch! Hope that 1912 turns out to be the open comb you are looking for. If you decide to get rid of any of the others let us know.

Very nice! Fingers crossed that the Damaskeene does have the open comb frame, that one alone is worth the $40.

Wow Kevin, you did great! I'm with Tom about the Damaskeene. I can't tell if you do have a true OC Damaskeene. I have an OC Damaskeene the hollow handle and the strop attachment on yours appears to be the OC version. This Dami version isn't easy to find and can fetch good money.

K, Do Burhams take a regular blade? I don't want to steer you wrong maybe some of the gents who own a Burham will give you the definite answer. From what I have read they do take a modern blade. You can take the spine off a modern blade (some have used it without removing the spine) and I believe also use a Feather SE blade as well.

Thanks guys Joe, I got the same results when I Googled Burham razor, it should take a de-spined SE blade i also just noticed something interesting, looking at the top of the picture of the Burham, there are some teeth of an open comb razor

The lot showed up the other day but I have not had the time to get a good look until tonight. The Gem 1912 was in fact an open comb and in very nice condition, I am very happy with it!! All the other razors are in very decent condition, I will get them cleaned up and get pictures taken this week.
I have not shaved all weekend, so I plan on a Sunday night shave with the open comb Damaskeene!!
