Why no clones of the Gillette NEW?

[sandmountainslim]

I know there are tons of clones of the Gillette Old Type from vintage razors to modern Merkur and Ikon designs but are there no copies of the NEW and if not why??
I know the Old Type is a popular design but from my experience the NEW is just as popular if not more so among wetshavers so why not make a new version of it for those who don't go vintage? I myself am happy with my Bull Mastiff NEW but I would bet lots of people would buy a modern take on it were one mfg.

My favorite razor is the iKon OC Deluxe Bulldog. Its head is a modern reproduction of the Gillette NEW Deluxe.

I really like the English Long Comb NEW as well. It would be nice to see a modern version in stainless.

Didn't know it existed! Will have to look it up.

Theres not much demand for it. I am sure someone will do a reproduction if demand was plentiful
