Hi Joseph, the reason I thought yours was the New Improved style was the baseplate/comb guard seemed flat on top like the New Improved style razors such as the New Standard, or the New Improved style Tuckaway.
Thank you Alan. It can be quite confusing. The Krumholz book is filled with information, much of which is still difficult for me to grasp. I would love a spreadsheet, with pictures AND dates of every Gillette razor ever produced. Now THAT would be helpful.
Very nice. I have nothing to add. It does look like it is a NEW version of some type. The blades? A mystery to me...
