[Old Sarge]

Man, that is such a cool little piece of history!  Thanks for sharing, Greg! Now I see what TobyC was talking about, just having a razor without the top cap being similar to that. I think I've seen Jayaruh in one of his videos shaving with a Damaskeene without the tap cap. I guess this is where you test your skills!

Really not much different than the earlier lather catchers. Pretty much everything before the Jr Bar had pretty much the same amount of blade exposed. The Jr. Bar didn't have a top cap either. But the Bar acted in the same way as a top cap. It is a cool piece of shave history either way.

That's right, you nailed it! I can definitely tell a big difference between shaving with the Jr. Bar versus the Stoll Crome Steel.  As you said is the same amount of blade exposure as your test outfit. The SCS is my most challenging razor to shave with, even more than the MMOC. Not much to the bar on the Jr. Bar, but it really makes a difference and make for an incredibly smooth shave.
