What Model is This New Improved Razor?

[JDGaines]

This razor has the tuckaway style but is put in a red interior with a different engraving than the tuckaway. What is the name of this one? It was made in 1926.

The New Improved is a great shaver! I'm just guessing but maybe a mis-match between the gold Tuckaway razor and a NEW Premium case - see Mr. Razor's example here https://mr-razor.com/Rasierer/The NEW/1930s Norfolk gold beschriftet-Logo.jpg

Thanks garyg. I have a gold The New Short handle in a tuckaway. I wonder if it would be best to simply switch out the two razors to match. I tried finding information on the NEW Premium but couldn't find any advertisements or even in the Krumholz book. They must not have been very popular.

I'd never heard of it until in response to your OP I went exploring. The razors have been switched out at least once, so no harm in moving them around to fit the case ..
