Well firstly thanks to @Alum Ladd for this event, it was very enjoyable to be apart of.
The New vs Old GSB, not alot of difference to me, really, honestly. This was my first time using the GSB in any open comb but looking at the razors I used previously (Stando Leszy, Black Beauty and Goodfellas Valynor) I would be able to tell right away if there was a discernible difference, I don't detect any.
I'd still favor the Old but that is because I like the wrapping but overall, its really close imho to me. I am sure because I like the Old I'll think hard about getting some more but we will see, I have alot of blades I like and plenty of the ones I do like but Old vs New it would be hard to tell if I didn't know ahead of time so to me I'd call it the same (or so close that it is), that is my take. I would need to shave more with them, use the same setup, etc. I know I won't do that but yea its so close I can safely say they are the same shaving wise.
Thoroughly enjoyed this, I really did. Now onto trying another blade I never had before in the near future.
