Safety Razor of the Month: July 2017

Yay! I have my first New SC going through customs as we speak :a14:

Really look forward to testing if it bites too much - as I am a mild razor guy at heart :blink:

I prefer mild razors as well. I find the NEW SC to be very smooth, but fairly aggressive compared to the LC.

Ah, thanks for the info. I had thought it was the other way around, that SC's were less aggressive than LC's... Maybe I was too fast on the button. Well, lets see...:001_unsur

The NEW SC is a more rigid design, but it has more blade gap. It both feels and shaves me more aggressively than the LC, British Rocket or a post war Tech I have, but it is nice and smooth.
 
Well, the SC arrived today and beautiful it is. Great condition.

Let's see tomorrow how it shaves, will let you know!

I really like the NEW each razor is different from the others whether it is the case, serial #, base plate , cap style , handle, finish or head/handle combo .My interest in the NEW came from the excellent posts I read when I first joined B&B .Thank you @ Dr Awkward and others

Two of my favorites are the Flat Bottom English Goodwill and the Canadian NEW Regent with case and shipper .I believe both are fairly hard to find .

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

We would love to have you, JM!

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.

Time to get cracking on that handle!

Impressive, Glenn!
 
NEW SC
Vintage Schick Stainless Krona Edge (new (well maybe not new, but first use))
Whipped Dog Synth
Mama Bears Awakening
Skin Bracer

Great shave with the Short Comb, I really should use this one more. I think one of the main reasons I don't is it's just too easy! :a14:

Also very impressed with the Schick blade.

I'll play. Won't be able to do every day, as I committed to the 7777 challenge, and only have 2 NEW's at the moment. But that's changing as we speak.
