I'm now clean shaven after several months; just took off all my facial hair with my LC NEW and mine looks exactly like that one arrived to you.
Yep. It's not quite the smoothest Gillette ever but to look at it, you might not think he could be that smooth.
It is certainly worth what you paid for it!.It is one of Gillette's best shaver's,even if it isn't one of the most collectable.I personally love New's,of any sort,although my favourite is the #77/#88 UK 2 piece version....
I agree totally. Feels about like my Slim turned to 9 but far smoother. Enough so that I'm confident enough to do an ATG pass. I've seen them nickel plated, and I really like the look. If only I knew of someone that plated razors
you made out great. my 'new' was had for $10 with case, and a cracked ball end handle. too bad the plating is gone, but you could have it re-plated. was probably gold plated originally. love that blade case. i want one now. lol only one shave with my new so far, but it's a keeper for sure. good luck with it.
The Superspeeds are excellent shavers, but I feel the New, especially the Long Comb, takes the smoothness experience to a whole new level. Gillette got it RIGHT with that one!
I bought a super speed to use as a travel razor, but I have to rinse it more than my above the tie m2. I was thinking the new might be a better option
Sorry, you definitely got burned. I will do you a favor by taking it off your hands. Lookit that, it fell apart! Good find. Any DE in usable shape is worth $10 for the shave. I have a similar model, one of the mildest shavers in the house.
