I got this English Flat Bottom New in a lot of razors a long time ago. I kind of cleaned it up, but it had severe plating loss on one corner, so it sat around never used. I was inspired by Tom White and another shaver on TSD to do this modification. Tom had created a DE razor with no comb and the other shaver did the same modification I am doing here.

| Before I started. |
 |
| See the plating loss. That is the side that will go. |
 |
| I clamped it in my vice to remove the comb with a hack saw. |
 |
| The comb is now gone. |
 |
| Now I am going to have to dress the cut and deal with the corrosion. |
 |
| I got most of the grunge off and now have a brush finish on the cap. |
I am calling this my Comb No-comb razor.
 |
| Here it is finished with my Razor Emporium Ball End Handle. |
UPDATE:
I wanted to see if a half blade would work in this configuration. It looks like it will.
It appears to clamp the blade in securely. I will be trying this out next week some time and will post results here.
