Love the Delta Echo finish on that razor.Had a great shave for day one of NEW month. Used my Delta Echo Steampunk Long Comb. A little Sherlock on both ends. And an Astra SP to do the slice and dice. Wonderful shave.

I think one of the main reasons I don't is it's just too easy!
Excellent work!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.

Nice job on the cleanup and the case, it looks like they will serve you well. Have fun at your Jamboree!Today is not a shaving day. But I thought I would share today's "NEW" activities. I am going to the National Boy Scout Jamboree for two weeks in West Virginia, where I will be working at the shooting range. I leave on the 15th. I camp quite often, and for weeks at a time, but this will provide unique and challenging shaving opportunities. There will be upwards of 30,000 people camping at this jamboree, and amenities will be limited. So I want to make my shaving experience special as well.
Since this is NEW month, I rummaged through my box of "unprocessed" razors to see what NEWs I might have hiding in there. I am an avid flea market razor hunter, so I have a couple of dozen razors that have not made it through the cleaning and categorizing process. Of course I found two NEW LCs in there that were suitable candidates for the jamboree. I picked the better one, and began to prep it for a few test shaves before I depart.
I am very happy with how this one came out. My only regret is that I did not take a "before" photo. A couple of hours in hot water and Dawn, followed by a rigorous scrubbing. Then about 30 minutes in the ultrasonic cleaner, interspersed with more scrubbing. It came out great.
I will be housing this razor in a "Pelican Mints" altoids style tin. I printed the inner part on my 3D printer. It fits the NEW perfectly. I will give it a test shave tomorrow. If it pleases me, it will be my Jambo razor. I cant see why it wouldnt.

Nice work, looks great!This thread inspired me to repair a two-piece NEW RFB that I bought a year ago for about $8 on eBay. It actually went unsold the first time, and I was the only bidder when the Seller relisted.
All four corner teeth were seriously bent both downwards and inwards.
After a few cycles of annealing, cooling and bending, I got to a point I was happy with. A light shine with some Nevr-Dull and here it is.
I shaved with it today using some RazoRock Mudder Focker and a Wizanet Super Iridium with about 30 shaves on it, and or had no trouble shaving off a 9 day mustache and goatee. Beautifully smooth like my other RFBs.
