Truth be told, I get as good or possible a better shave from my New LC/SC, which cost me LESS than my Schone, and they align the blade every bit as well as my Timeless does. They also both align the blade perfectly without having to fiddle with it, they really need to enlarge those centering pins/bullets/or whatever you want to call them....of course the Gillette Old Type and Pearl OC are nearly as bad. The Schone is still mostly shiny and new looking, other than the spot I scuffed off the gold plate, and *might* actually glide a bit better, but the New is less likely to bite me if I don't pay attention or get careless.....I can shave faster with the New.
Not none of the three are quite as efficient or smooth as my Timeless, but were talking a pretty stiff premium for that small difference. - I also wonder if a fresh plate job would make either New as smooth or smoother during the shave.
