    I recently acquired a 1925 Gillette New Improved. I've only used EJ DE89, Parker 99R, and Gillette Techs. So the blade exposure was a first for me. I got the best shave tonight from this 91 year old razor I've ever had a BBS with two passes and a little clean up, very little irritation, and one weeper on a trouble spot. I'm hyped over this new edition!!! Feels like a new start.

    Fantastic. It's always great to hear people getting great shaves from razors they never tried before.

    I have yet to get my hands on a New Improved, but I can highly recommend the NEW LC and SCs. They are fantastic.
    Good for you.

    RyX DoH!

    Makes me wonder why anyone spends time doing research and development on a new razor. And then I grab my Bunny and enjoy my best shaves, too!

    I do love my New Standard. To me they are just a smidge more aggressive then the New types. Which are also amazing
