A very big "thank you" to Charles @Komboloi who PIFd me my new Gillette NEW LC.
(All the way from Western US to the UK [about 5,100 miles].)
I thought my Open Comb collection was replete until I read a thread by Charles about his newly replated NEW LC (which I was going to link to, but can't find). I mentioned this in the thread, and next thing a NEW LC which was surplus to Charles' requirements was winging its way to me.
I've just had my first shave with it and I'm VERY pleased. (BBS of course.)
I'd heard via @rabidus (the Rigid Razor King) about the LC's lack of blade rigidity (unlike the SC) so was prepared with one shim to stiffen the blade up. This slight modification is because I have coarse beard hair (the razor would be fine as is for those with average to fine beard hair).
I intend shaving with my new NEW for (at least) a week. I'll give a report on my seventh(ish) shave. And if it's anywhere near as good as the first shave I'll continue to be a very happy bunny.
