What handle is that Chris?
I have a rhodium plated New LC but it is packed away, will try to dig it out and post a few pics - FTR, it's beautiful!
Here you go. Both were replated by Krona Kruiser:
New Otto Roth LC w/little bastone handle (top)
New Deluxe short comb with plated bar handle (bottom)
This is how they are in the stand. I've taken the bar handle off of the deluxe, and put an old ball-end on it. I'm planning on either a sabi or a cadet handle at the end of the year.

My favourite is an English raised flat bottom rhodium plated NEW LC on a UFO Kaiser Short handle.
That was the razor I used tonight.

That seems like a popular combination. I don't have a UFO handle, so I just use my Tradere ...
I love the pics in this thread. I will post my favorite new deluxe in about a week or so. I'm waiting for the new deluxe head to get replated.

Very nice!
I have a NEW SC replated by Krona that is one of my favorite blade testing razors. No matter how much I use it, the beautiful shine remains!

What is this "downsizing" you speak of?
Ironfist is correct. It is a Bob's Razor Works Bull Mastiff XL.
New Deluxe + Griest New Fat Handle (Krona replates)
Stunning, Erik.
Ain't that Bob handle ?

Here is xillion's incredibly helpful pictorial guide to the various NEW base plates. He has a few others beyond those pictured here, but this covers most of the territory:
TBH i could replace the UFO Kaiser short with either my Weber Bulldog or Weber Wave and i wouldn't notice a difference to the shave.
The UFO is just my favourite as i bought it specifically to use on my different razor heads
This is the updated one someone made.
The only heads there i dont have are:-
- Deluxe
- US LC
- Goodwill
- Round Pin
- Canadian
This was what i used lastnight, complete with soap scum on the handle!

I am just curious because of the way some people are talking here on B&B, but was the Canadian I got for $12 off of eBay a rare find?
