I use both open as closed comb and both I would not want to miss. In this version you will experience a very dense, absolutely close shave as with a razor at barber. Not to compare with any system razors. The blade can be felt directly on the skin, yet manages not to cut me so me: 0) The heavier handle the Grande is a matter of taste, from a handling aspect are both equal to shaving with a planer happens to a fine motor matter.
