English NEW Open Combs - any differences?

[SHarris]

I ask because the long comb I have recently received is very different.

Smaller blade gap, a very small handle, two location slots in the head and no blade locating tabs in the corners of the cap.

Its a mild razor compared the NEW's I currently own UK or US.
Any one know about this one or is it even a NEW? I'll post a pic asap.

I have one just like the one you describe that came as part of a Gillette Service Set. Mine also says made in England, and the cap has no tabs like the US new heads. It is one of the best shaving heads that I own and I really enjoy using it. I too am interested in finding more info as I would like to buy another one.

Here it is.

Shaved with it this evening actually, very nice.

Any info about this gratefully received.

I think that's the head that I use with my Bull Mastiff!

There are different models that I'm aware of. The Gillette 7 o'clock edition is a bit thiner and less aggressive. If I compare the Canadian/US/British heads that I had with the same handle, the British version worked best for me.
