Interesting that the LC seemed a little smoother, I’d bet it would be the other way around.So, I just used the LC this morning with a fresh Bic. I'll have to get a few more shaves in with it, and do a head to head with the SC to really get a read, but my initial impressions seem to match what others have reported.
In comparison to the SC, the LC feels a little smoother. It might be a hair milder than the SC too. I'll need to take some closeups to compare but based on feel I think my SC has just a little bit more exposure. Hard to tell yet. I think it's a little more forgiving. Whether that is down to the comb design or the slightly less rigid blade clamping, I don't know. I can say that the rigidity of the LC is still good enough for my face. The comb feels nice, not as nice as the Fatip, but not distracting, and it seems like it actually engages the skin a little more even at the fairly shallow angle that this razor requires.
Again, this is all based on one use, but I think I could be pretty happy with either of the News.
Do you find the SC more tolerant for steeper angles than the LC? I never seem to click with razors that require a shallow approach like the Game changer for example.
Thank you for your feedback sir.
