So that is where all the Damaskeenes have gone. HA!. It's a great razor to have.

Great collection, twhite! How does a Damaskine shave compared to a 1912, for instance?

Great collection, twhite! How does a Damaskine shave compared to a 1912, for instance? I find the OC to be very mild. The other closed combs shave pretty much like all the other 1912’s. With the exception of my heavy handle British ER. That one seems a bit more aggressive. I might add that my squat head Gems to me have a different feel from the others. I really like those shaves. All said any 1912 in my book is a winner. The 1912 is what made me give up the unmentionables just after 1 shave.

As you may know, I scored an OC Damaskeene a few weeks ago. This one. This has a unique handle. I noticed that the back of the handle has threads. This told me it was missing the Stropping attachment. Well lo and behold I found an old Damaskeene stropper on E Bay Monday. It appeared to have the same handle as my Dammy. The handle was broken from the main end. But it appeared to have the Stropping attachment. I just got it. Sure as s#\t it is the one. Super stoked to have the Stropping attachment and the matching Damaskeene automatic stripper. After all said and done. I have a complete OC Dammy and Automatic Stropper and a nice cased Gem 1912, 2 Gem g bars and a push button for less than $50 including Shipping. It is nice when a plan comes together😁

Bully!! That handle is like the one on a 1910 Jr. Bar I have. Feels great! Glad it came together.

Interesting Tom. My fav Damy is an OC and I don't think of it as a mild razor. Will take out for a spin. Nice collection.

All Hail the Great Dammy Slayer!! My my....These residents of your stables are suitable, and should be expected for a Great SE man, as yourself; Bully!!!
I'm so glad, that complete OC set came together the way that it did...Great Things should happen to Great People.
