What is the difference between closed comb and open comb safety razors? We aim to answer that question here.
A closed comb double edged safety is the most common form of razor produced today and it is one of the most popular used by millions of wet shavers around the world every day.
A closed comb razor head provides extra protection for the user by the use of a straight, safety bar that runs underneath the length of the razor blade.
This bar can be flat or have small grooves in it. Its purpose is to tighten the skin just before the blade cuts through the hairs. This ensures a smoother, flatter, shaving surface for the razor and so reduces the risk of nicks or cuts to the skin by the blade.
A classic example of a closed comb safety razor is the Muhle R89. This a three piece razor, you can see from the image to the right that the razor head has a straight edge bar which runs the entire length of the razor blade.
