Closed and Open Comb

In traditional safety razors, closed comb and open comb describe the design of the razor head. A closed comb razor features a straight safety bar that provides a milder, more protective shave, ideal for beginners or everyday use. An open comb razor has a comb with spaced teeth that expose more of the blade, allowing for a more aggressive shave, better suited for thick or longer beard growth. This design difference affects the aggressiveness, efficiency, and feel of the shave.
