It’s a razor made with Gaismans patents. Based on their packaging some were Goodwills (free razor with a tuck of blades) others New (paid for razor and blades).

I smell like a Christmas pudding
Thank you, I did not realise that any New razors had recesses in the top cap.

Goodwills are New type razors based on Gaismans patents, while the New and New Deluxe were based on Gillettes patents. In the US Goodwills were actually called Goodwills, but in the UK and France they were either advertised as “New” or “Goodwill”.
An even stranger creature is the No 10 London set, as it has positive registration (Goodwill) but has only the patent of the New improved (Gillette New).

I added a blue tip to my pile so now my Super Speed trio is errh, a trio.
Tatara Masamune and then acquired Nodachi plate a week later
Review! Daily driver? If, so potentially replacing what?
Love 'em both! Enjoy!
Timeless .68 Polished SB... Yes, absolutely my daily driver. I hadn't reached for anything else in the month of April. I would think about it for a second and then just say"nah, why bother".
I think that it may be the "One" for me. Simply smooth, comfortable, the blade gap suits me, weight is perfect, it's a looker and just amazingly pleasant to shave with.
As to what it will be replacing... I am participating in this month's gentlemanly restraint (the Timeless actually knocked me out in April) and my goal is to revisit everyone in my collection for a week at a time. I started with the 34c. Now there is absolutely nothing wrong with a Merkur 34c but lets face the fact that it can't measure up. So I will finish the week out and it will likely get PIFed.
As to what else may be eliminated as I progress through my G.R.U.M.E.

Razorock Gamechanger .68
Rockwell 6c
1.95 Fatboy
Gillette Slim Aristocrat (sure is purty, probably will hang onto that one)
Just to name a few.
I have a Timeless Bronze .38 on the way (one does need a little variety) that I am looking forward to. Don't worry, I ordered it in April.
I stuck a fork in it.
So I wanted to provide my observations after a full week (7 shaves) with my new Timeless Aluminum 45 razor. As always YMMV and these thoughts are just based on my shaving preferences and how the razor worked for me.
The Timeless Aluminum 45 is perfectly constructed and finished, which is a a common description of Timeless Razors. The Al 45 utilizes the same design as my favorite razor (Timeless Bronze SB 0.38) so it was easy to find the correct angle. The lightweight nature of the razor allowed me to try two “fast shaves” and I had perfect confidence whipping it around my face and getting the expected results(but I’d much rather take my time).
For me, the AL 45 is a keeper. Did it replace my Bronze 0.38, no it did not, but it compliments it perfectly.
I have decided to give my twin nephews my Merkur 34HD and Merkur 104 OC as gifts as they have just started shaving and they have shown interest in traditional shaving.
My razor rotation will now consist of my Timeless Bronze and Aluminum. And that makes me incredibly happy
!The price and beautiful craftsmanship of The Timeless Aluminum 45 can serve as the “perfect gateway” to modern CNC machined razors. Have a great week of shaves and life.
New SC and Post-War Tech have been acquired. 
Mucho thanks to @juno, again.
P.S. I like the label to the Plague Doctor more than the scent. The soap seems to perform well enough.
I think I'm set with DEs for a while.

Beautiful EFB Tech!
I've been on the lookout for one of these and finally got one a couple weeks ago! Are your pictures showing the razor after cleaning it up? Have you enjoyed the shave so far?

G3 Slim Aristocrat with the box.
A G3 Slim has been my “grail razor” for some time since it is my birth year and quarter. To find one, with the box, in beautiful condition, and an Aristocrat, is just icing on the cake. I probably paid a bit too much for it but well, you know...

That ain't no Brit #21.
Just a second gen British aristocrat.
I’m far from an expert, but it’s exactly like this razor. I even have the same (beat up) case. https://www.mr-razor.com/Rasierer/One-Piece solid guard bar/1948 Aristocrat No21.JPG
Indeed. I do have the case though. It's pretty ratty.
That counts I guess.
Got a Pearl SBF-11 TTO in Silver.
