I love TTO gillettes however I'm thinking of adding a 3 piece to my collection, having never used one are there any differences in shave quality, I have also never tried a open tooth one either, I have tough thick stubble and normal skin
Regards
I have in fact ordered one should be here soon it is a gillette new, however as it's my first OC, I gather they arent too aggressive as it's down to blade exposure not weather it's open or closed comb etc.Like you I'm a big fan of the TTO Gillette's I also have a Old type (which is a open comb) I'm not personally a fan of OC though a lot of people prefer their efficiency. Can't beat a rocket for a daily driver IMO.
Take a punt on eBay you shouldn't have any problems getting your money back on a Old type or a New type.

My other question being I use now daily Gillette silver blue in my EJ 89 razor I like gillette 7 o'clock yellow though a little aggressive in my 89 and the 7 o'clock greens they are a little mild, should I stick with the silver blue when I first use it?
I thought a tech was closed comb?The head looks very similar to a Tech.
I get reasonable shaves from my EJ 89 but i'm after a more aggressive shave for my coarse stubble so this may just be the ticket f not i'll have to keep buyingI get excellent shaves from Gillette Aluminium handled(ball end and sportsman), however I find the short and long open combs quite aggressive, short open comb being more aggressive.
Gillette open combs(both short and long toothed) definitely aggressive, I'm sure you will like them.I get reasonable shaves from my EJ 89 but i'm after a more aggressive shave for my coarse stubble so this may just be the ticket f not i'll have to keep buying
