I'll see if I can acquire one, if not I will see what the next SROTM is. I really enjoyed last month's 40s Style SS. Hope to see you all in July.

Everything old is NEW again!! Great choice Adam.
Darn! I guess I'll just have to sit this one out and pop in wistfully, lol.
My only NEW is a NEW Improved. That's NEW enough for me!
NEW SC it is then!
All cleaned up and awaiting final polishing.
Out of curiosity, or more accurately necessity, whats involved in this Safety Razor of the Month?

I'd probably side with Achim and put them into a separate category. But hey, we had a few millord users last round! As long as everything stays positive and relaxed, why not?Sounds fun!

Thank you, my friend!
Still time to pick one up!
Yes! Ball End, Long Comb! My favorite.
I don't have one.
Absolutely. They are such a classy razor and it almost finds the angle for you.
We talk about them, use them, share pictures. We can talk about history of the world at that time, design; petty much anything to do with the razor and the time period. It's a casual affair!
Kindly,
Adam
Just had my second shave with the NEW SC with a 7 O'Clock black blade. My usual 2 pass + shave, but this blade gave me issues on my neck the same as it did last shave with the Tech. It doesnt seem as sharp as the Polsilvers to me.
Anyway, I took some comparison pictures of the NEW SC and the NEW LC for anyone that may be curious. SC on the left in every pic, and the LC is, or was until I used it, NIB gold plated and Made in Canada.
Thanks once again to rabidus for the NEW SC and the very nice Tech. The Tech is becoming my favorite of them all, and with the NEW SC being just as rigid a design, but considerably more aggressive, between the two I'm not sure I'd have a need for another razor. It's a shame I dont get along with the LC it's a very nice razor.

Sweet. I have a few NEWs to use during this event! I will be spending two weeks down at the National Boy Scout Jamboree in WV during July. So I will pack at least one NEW in my kit! Should be an appropriate choice for that occasion.
Here are a few candidates for July's festivities. L-R: 7 O'Clock Brit Flat Bottom, Gillette Brit Flat Bottom, Delta Echo LC, Gold SC, LC, RFB

Got this Deluxe today. The handle needs some fixing, but otherwise it's in pretty nice condition.
It's of the '15mm' variety - keen to see how it compares against my 17mm.
