Beautiful!
Your NEW LC is in exceptional shape. I wish I had one that looked as good as yours with a nice case to go with it.

This is a great introduction to anyone wanting to try a true vintage shave, between medium-aggressive for me, one of a kind...

This is my favorite NEW, too - a near-perfect balance of aggression and mildness. Over 80 years old, and the design is timeless.

(If only if it weren't for the soap scum that gunks it up every shave....)

That's just a NEW, nothing special...
The better NEWs state Canada on the base plate.

Sorry for the lousy pic... it's the only one close at hand...

Keeping this one clean between the teeth is a chore but well worth it...

People have spoken in recent years about Gillette DE's going down in price but it seems to me lately the New's are harder to get and more expensive than they were just a few years ago and yet Old style Open Comb are still quite cheap.

When people speak about Gillette DE's going down in price they mean Fatboy (and sometimes Slim).
That is 99,999999999999999 % of the time.

This thread has NOTHING to do with the high demand for NEWs.

Errr...sure thing....yes.

Missing a blade case , the bakelite is a dark brown not as dark as my thin handle #77 RFB case, I think a 2 pc #77 brown should match.

Congrats, Glenn! Nice piece!
I couldn't bid on that one due to my stupidity!
Hence you got a very good deal!

Those Canadian Regents are very hard to find. With the case and shipper, it's a truly remarkable score. Thanks for sharing with the rest of us!

 

[lloydrm]

Very nice, enjoy.

 

[Strayhair]

I love my Canadian Regent. The handle is the best.

Glenn, congratulations! A tidy set!
