The Base plate on the left is dynamite! If I run across another square toe cap, I'll send it your way, the difference is night and day. If I ever let go of one of these NEW, SC, I'll also let you know. I am down to 3 I think, which is my minimum on favorites. I really need to pass along most of my Long Combs...
i do have one. my canadian razor has one that came with it but was a little scratched up.opted to use the shiny one ,but will give it a go..thank you..
my 3rd new sc daily driver, needs replate with the canadian square toe cap at far right..the baseplate is u.s reissue as well but has the large side notches like the canadian one..

For the record, I am not sold on replating if it works great great. I have done it, and done so with success, but depending on what it started out with and what is being put on it, the replating could change the shave experience.

Ahhhh so let’s get back to the familiar shall we...today’s choice, the Gillette New SC with the long, thin handle. This razor is beautiful and balances very nicely. In this configuration it is slightly head heavy and just glides down the face. Lots for it to do beard-wise but with a nice Wilkinson Sword loaded it had no issues. Soap of the day was Stirling Tuscany and it is a very nice soap just something so right about the scent. Lots of summer flowers in this one but a great scent. Chubby 2 whipped a great lather and proceeded to get through a slow and methodical three pass BBS shave. Beautiful. Last step a lovely shot of Gucci Pour Homme. The long weekend is upon us with Canada Day arriving on Monday! Followed shortly by July 4th for our American friends. Take a few minutes when you can during the holidays to tell the folks you hold near and dear how much they mean to you. Keep them close and hug them lots. Take care, safe travels and happy shaves all.
