    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. :)

    I've had far better luck buying stuff from etsy than eBay. That's where this came from

    It's nice razor that's for sure. And pretty smooth, which surprised me.

    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

    Well, there go those low prices! Lol!!

    +1 on loving how the LC New shaves. It's hard to beat...

    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.

    How does the new compare to the super speeds?

    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

    Do you have a set that lacks the case?

    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.

    You're not a hardcore vintage guy unless you shaved with the used blade it came with. ;)

    I recently picked up a NEW SC and it's tied for favorite razor status with my 55 Red Tip.
