What does “open comb” mean?

The fact that there is a gap between the teeth of the comb allows more lather to remain on the face since it goes through the spaces. As a result, you will get a closer shave. This option is not recommended for daily use or for people with sensitive skin.

This is an example of an open comb:

This is an example of a closed comb:

Notice that in close combs, there is a bar that joins the teeth of the comb. This offers more protection and it is recommended for daily shaving. Most Double Edge Safety Razors are closed comb.
