There are two that I would like to find. The fang tab capital I pin flat bottom. And a "winged" round pin. Then I need to find Minora and Nacet stamped versions to go with my 7 O'Clock and Rubie versions.
What is your favorite Gillette NEW?

Yeah, I forgot about that winged round pins, and the T pins ... I want that one too. I am not even bothering with Minora and Nacet versions ...
I knew this thread was a bad idea.
Oh, and do you remember that Grom set, in the green bakelite case?
I think something is messed up with this thread ... I saw a new comment on the feed, clicked to open but leads me to post #1 ... and I don't see the new comment here. 
D'oh! I forgot about the T pin. I have one in the collection I'm pretty sure it's the Rubie. I'll dig it out and take a new comparison shot this weekend.
And who could forget that beautiful GROM.

The new NEW thread was merged with the old NEW thread.

Yes I noticed, but I saw a new comment just a couple of minutes ago, that apparently was posted in the newer thread, and it is still on the feed, but nowhere to be seen at the same time ... weird.
Second time is the charm.
Capitol I plate British New, it doesn't have the corresponding Capitol I cap. It came with the correct case, so I guess it is probably the cap it originally came with. BTW, it ain't perfect, but it also ain't leaving my den anytime soon.

As Yogi says, it's déjà vu all over again!
BTW, I'm with you on the English Goodwill. It's OK, but not angelic. I'm more into the RFB razors.
That said, I really hope Jeff will be back soon teasing and hyping and enabling ...
Tres Hombres
Stripped US NEW LC w/ UFO Colibri
English Flat Bottom w ATT Atlas
DLC Deluxe OC w/ Tuckaway*
*I know it is not technically a NEW, but I like this Stainless Steel version of the DeLuxe Tuckaway Norfolk too much not to list it in my lineup.

Very nice NEWs, Justin!
yeah yeah I know, but doesn't it help if I don't mention the company name? 
I have the actual NEW this is copied off of, but I find the extra weight of the Stainless and the DLC coating to give a nicer shave. I hope I'm not suspended from the group for saying so

Of course, use whatever you like! You know I was just kidding anyway.
But seriously, nice razors, I especially like the Colibri handle!
Don't worry, it's all in good fun here.
As far as the Colibri that I use 99% of the time, I guess this pic sums up my feelings...

I can see why! I wish those UFO handles were not in such short supply.
Grøm ...
Why? Because nobody else has one
As a razor, it's great - a twin pin by another name would be as sweet.

This one was posted a while back. Are these images of your set or is this a different set? The green case is beautiful, fantastic set all around.

That is in fabulous shape! Grom was a Polish brand acquired by Gillette, if I recall correctly.
I absolutely LOVE that green bakelite case!!!
