    This is the 2013 Muhle R41 in rolled gold finish. Apparently not as aggressive as earlier versions; I wouldn't know as I haven't tried an earlier version. I do know that it delivered a very close, smooth shave from the Treet blade.

    Whenever I have more than a couple days growth, I use either an adjustable or an open comb....today was the open comb. [​IMG]

    Nice looking New. I have a New LC on its way to me, but it doesn't look like that.

    Thanks for the kind words. I'm sure you'll love your New LC. It's a fantastic razor. Please post a photo when you receive it!

    I purchased this SC on eBay. Best I can tell, it was NOS. It still had the original Gillette cardboard insert between the top and bottom head plates. It seems to be a tad more aggressive than my LC.
