It does.Not sure if the Eclipse qualifies? This soap is excellent even though Brian has pleaded guilty to being a Yorkshireman!

I'll let you off. York City sold you a great full back years ago - Phil Burrows
He signed for us just about the time when my dad started taking me to games, 1974. I wouldn't remember him playing but he was known as a great player.I'll let you off. York City sold you a great full back years ago - Phil Burrows

This was my first time using the Old Type. I'm generally not a fan of open combs and prepared myself for disliking this in advance of the shave. I shouldn't have.
King C certainly got it right when he designed this thing. That was an easy smooth shave. I've parked my original plan of using this once and I'm now looking forward to Saturday's shave with it. Has it been helped by the MdC lather? Perhaps, but the next shave will confirm.

It's getting XXX next which isn't as good as MdC in terms of slickness so will be interesting to see how it performs.It took me a number of shaves to dial in the right angle for the Old Type, and once I did I found it to be a incredibly smooth and comfortable daily shaver.
I found my Old Type seemed to perform at it's best with a few blades, with subcontinent blades being the best performers - the Winner Platinum and 7 Black were two ones I found the razor suited.
As for the lather, I've not used MDC but I found I had better shaves with the OT if the lathers were slicker side of things.
