So the Damy SHOULD have a curved top, correct?

Speaking of Frankenrazors, I have a Damy that has a flat top, exactly like my 1912. I thought I read that the top on a Damy is curved. Could my Damy have a been Frankenrazored work a 1912 top? You didn't uhhhhhh work on it did you? 🔨🔨🔨🔨

Here's comparative pics. that is the correct cap for both razors. The newest Gem has the flat cap. You are golden.

Maybe I need a Frankenrazor! You will not feel any real difference. The British ER 1912 seems to be a bit more aggressive. Not much mind you. The OC Dammy is milder than other 1912 for sure.

I got a ... base plate for a Damaskeene OC razor in a package I bought.... Found myself in the same situation recently. It seems to shave OK without the cap, though. I noticed the handle on the comb version is smaller than the safety-bar type. Is this typical, or to I have a travel-type or some other variant?

The OC Damaskeene baseplate I got was by itself with no handle or cap. So my OC Damaskeene is indeed a Frankenskeene. I really like it though.

No idea if one is more correct then another.

There could even be more.
