Can't say I've experienced one yet. Does it compare to Single Ring, NEW short or long comb, Deluxe? Maybe a Fatip to toss in a joker? Being older I'm assuming more aggressive than a Flare Tip.

Would be tough not to be eh?

Since it has gap the New Improved is easier to find the right angle than the Old Type.

The change was made to the bottom plate in '28 to try to minimize blades snapping, an annoyance which came standard with the earlier design.

No way to know. The seller often lists lots, but flat out refuses to take follow up photos or discuss details. It's a grab bag. If you are interested PM for a link since it's an active auction. It's not ebay, I think a better site with a good chance to purchase gear at a true value rather than inflated frenzy bidding.

right in there with the 102a. If y0u look at the profile of the 126, you can see the beginning of the evolution toward the NEW.

I don't even pick up Flare Tips to look at them in the wild. Common, plentiful, and I like more blade feel from my DEs. I still consider them to be a middle of the road razor and a solid intro for new shavers.

I acquired a couple by accident. I wouldn't even offer to them to my brother, I think he's better off with a modern Chinese razor like the Baili.

That's cold

Calls em like I sees em . Baili's a better shaver.

sorry they don't work for you..i prefer the rocket versions..

I consider Gillette TTOs mostly to be fiddly annoyances. Add unnecessary mildness and you have a perfect storm of no thanks for me . Too many other alternatives.

awesome sir..thank you..

OMG! That is absolutely gorgeous. I've never seen one like that before. I don't normally take to gold colored razors but that is stunning. Wow. I'm speechless.

I went digging and found these also. I might have the worlds crustiest Bostonian
