Purchased an R41 "Beast" right here on TSD! Can't wait to rip my face up!

So what did you think of them?

One hell of a deal!

Honestly, I don't recall. Still have several unopened tucks so I'll try one or more in my next rotation of DE's!

they shave quite well and last awhile..

You're not kidding. Kevin was very generous and promised some blades, too!

Sellers pic. Says it's NOS, dummy blade still installed. Sorry for the teeny weeny picture.

Will hopefully receive tomorrow a New SC. Been enjoying the New De Luxe so thought I should try a New SC.

Indeed. The geometry of the New Deluxe is very much like the Long Comb where the SC is a completely different animal. The more rigid design of the SC works better for a lot of us, especially ATG in tough areas.

A brush handle from PrometheusHandcrafts. I plan on buying a knot from Maggards. A 24 MM shd two band fan.

Karve "E" plate.

Adjustable Schick? One of these?

Unless your Capt. Kirk.

It's a L1 looking at the pic across the street

No, it's the non-adjustable. L1?

A 24mm SHD Two Band fan knot from Maggards in addition to the brush handle and the epoxy to set the knot.

Hopefully I don't screw this up. But we all learn lessons the hard way.

Those are "A Thing" right now. More knot makers have started making fans, the Super High Density part ought to cure floppy. And it's a 2 band? The more I read, the more I think that's the badger knots I'd enjoy. I'm still more a boar user so far.

I hear you. Two band is nice, and I like my boars, Semogue and Omega. It's should be 24/48 after it's set. That alone should prevent floppy, but the more backbone the better.
