That is indeed a New LC with a standard ball end handle, just like mine! Great shaver! I don't see a bunch of patents on it, so it's probably early. '29 ~'40 https://www.badgerandblade.com/forum/wiki/Category:Gillette_NEW_Razors http://www.mr-razor.com/Rasierer/The NEW/The NEW.htm
How is the New Improved compared to the OT and New? I keep wondering if I should pick one up sometime.
To me the New Improved is more aggressive then both the OT and New. Sent from my Galaxy using Tapatalk
I am not sure what I was thinking 6 years ago... The New is a great shaver. It has been a number of years since i have preferred the Old Type to the New. The New Improved and New Deluxe are both favorites as well.
I would send you one, but I already gave it away a while ago. The New Improved is a heavier head than either OT or the NEW. I find it to be a very smooth shaver and much more comfortable than the OT. I only have a LC New here and imo it is about the same as the New Improved. The New Deluxe is probably my favorite followed by the New Improved and the LC New. There are a host of other razors and then the OT imo.
