This razor is described as "closed comb." What does that mean?

The leading edge of the Razor just below the actual blade is where the "comb" would be found. Some razors are smooth some have an open comb where there are gaps between the teeth to direct the beard towards the blade and some have a closed comb which are less aggressive, but in between smooth and open comb.

Yes, this is a removable head razor. The twist to open is called a butterfly opening razor. They are harder to clean do to movable parts. This one will last a lifetime.

The blades may be adjusted to close or your facial hair is to curly or long

the edge of the razor where it looks like little waves is a closed comb. If it looks like it has actual open space instead of just waves it is an open comb.....it almost looks like a rake to me. Go on youtube to geofatboy, he does all kinds of razor reviews....just filter out his advertisements for his site....what i have read the open comb is a more aggressive razor, but i have no real world experience with one to back it up

The comb is made of hard plastic, not like a traditional hair brush made with bristles. I use an antibacterial wipe to clean it.

Its a switchblade where it comes out of the end. Although it is a little difficult/awkward to use the switch that opens and closes it. Honestly I would not recommend it. Not exactly they best, when you have it in your hand it makes it feel like it was cheaply made!

This listing is inaccurate as to actual model number and the heads (blades). It clearly says it has lift and cut. I just received my order and the box says the model is 6955XL/41. It doe not have lift and cut heads. According to Norelco site, that specific model has the CloseCut Heads. I am returning the shaver under "different from ordered." Since it was fulfilled by a Marketplace Seller (Amazon does not sell them direct), some may be selling 6955 models that have the lift and cut heads, but there is no way to know unless you query each seller to check the box. I'd like to know what 6955 model has them (6955XL/??).

No, this is a 3-piece razor. The handle unscrews from the head, which then separates into the two pieces that secure the blade. It's a very secure design for holding the blade firmly, and only takes a few seconds to change.

You are most welcome.I was referring to both the razor attachment & the beard trimmer depth attachments which look like little blue combs.

It is three piece. Very nice quality, but you have to be careful when putting in a blade. If you just drop it in and reassemble, you could wind up with the blade at a slight cant, resulting in (at best) an inconsistant shave between the 2 sides, or (at worst) nicks and cuts due to the fact that the blade is canted at an angle. This, in my opinion, does not detract from the quality of the razor, as a lot of more expensive razors (Merkur, for example) have the same problem. The only razor I know for sure that does not have this quirk is the almost $200 Feather AS-D2 All Stainless. Feather also has an inexpensive butterfly ($16 available on Amazon )that aligns perfectly. Many reviews complain about the use of plastic in this razor, but it is not cheap plastic, and is a very good razor. With this Ambroley, you just have to be aware of the angle of the blade when you reassemble the razor head. Make sure the edges of the blade are parallel to the razor head as you tighten things down, and it shaves very nicely! Being open comb, it is a bit of an agressive blade, but once you find your technique (proper angle of the shaving head), it results in BBS (baby butt smooth) shaves! As a side note, I do have an order in for one of the Ambroley butterfly razors. It will be interesting to see...

On the inside of the handle is a silver piece you push over and the blade closes. :)

I had difficulty with that too, but on the side of the shaver opposite where it says Tweezerman there is a small white piece of plastic clipped at the base of the blade section. You simply pop that off with your fingernail and then you can see the edge of the blade. This thing works great but you really have to be careful not to cut too deeply.

I believe so. I think my brother, who is a barber, uses it at his barber shop. But I'm not sure. He recommended it though, says its a great razor. I bought it for my dad for his face. They say it does a nice close shave. But I'd imagine its like any typical razor where u have to cut down the hair and then use it. But I dunno I'm not a guy so I don't use one, I only see my husband use it.

I've noticed that the razor can leak a little bit of fine hair if it is not emptied and cleaned regularly. And yes, I have the "trapdoor" closed.

Basically, its got the two foil heads on each side. the switch locks the front one into a lower position to allow for more precision shaving. great for under the nose. makes it easier to target one small area (ie under the nose) without irritating area where you're not shaving (ie you're upper lip). GREAT FEATURE!!!!! I love the shaver!!! highly recommend!! check out my review!!

It is a mild shaver. The head is the muhle r89 closed comb, which is a mild shaver much lauded by both new and experienced wet shavers alike.

No, it is an old school double edge razon. It is a 'safety' razor with guards around the exposed blade.
