But who knows if DX.COM has the version with new handle ? I ordered several from them, great cheap razor but all with old handle.

Just to confuse things: I ordered from DX and got the new 3-piece version. The case arrived cracked in the mail but the razor was intact.
When did you order it? The picture on DX site has not been updated, has it?
Early Gillette 3-piece razors included instructions on adjusting the blade gap and exposure with the degree of tightness the head is screwed on: screw the head on all the way (maximum tightness) to produce the least blade gap and exposure for the mildest, safest shave; for a quicker, closer shave, screw the head all the way on and then unscrew it a quarter, half or full turn to increase gap and exposure... (I've seen photos of those instructions online, and if I can find them, I'll repost them.)
My razor arrived today. I had ordered it on Sept 18th and it was in the mail today.
It was ordered through JFLY on Amazon. Here is the Amazon Picture:

Here's the picture of what I got
Very similar except mine has a slightly longer piece at the end of the handle below the indents. It appears to be a pretty solid handle, but I'll know more tomorrow when I open it. Also interested in giving the ReMei blade a shot. Can't be worse than Derbys.
Correction: unscrew the head 1/16th-1/8th of a turn from maximum, according to the Gillette instructions, below. Although, as is still the best advice: "The user must find for himself the adjustment which insures the best results in his case."

Love that the guy put on a suit, removable collar, and tie to shave....

Instruction manual models just aren't as classy as they used to be...
