Nice ... a #175. Those are scarcer than the regular #160. Congrats, looks really nice. And they even upgraded the handle.

Thanks for the kind words. Decided to get the replate done, as I prefer this handle on it.
Very cool. Happy Birthday NEW.
Can't help to think that they really nailed it in so many ways with this one. Particularly want to mention the ease and safety of cleaning the razor and blade, as the booklet states. This is BTW the only thing I "have against" ATT.
NEW it is for tomorrow morning.

My New's were calling out to me for tonight's shave, which one to choose. The Canadian LC Goodwill. This is looking like a good place to ask. I haven't been able to find any info or History on this razor anywhere. If anyone knows anything please share. Thanks, Here she is.
Nothing rare in this post here's a couple of photo's of my Berkshire set from 1930.
I like it pleased to have it, I have the other sets introduced in 1930, Federal, Windsor, Oxford and Regent.
It looks mint the original blades are with it A1 date code.

That Canadian Goodwill is very cool, congrats! Like a #175/#164 hybrid. I don't know much about these but I believe it was made in the early 30s just like the US NEW and Old Type-based Goodwills.
My collection of RFB NEW's
A couple of 2 piece 77's, a three piece 77 from 1940's, 2 piece 88, a couple of 44 sets with hollow ball handle and a Big Boy Chrome.
The 88 has the knurling up to the top of the handle tube unlike the 77's where there's a smooth band.

Here is Uncle Bob. He is up for tomorrow. I will post photos of Walter Rosenberg and the rest of the family when I get back from my trip.
Here is a quick look at fewer than half of my NEWs; from left to right:
NEW Deluxe 15mm, NEW Deluxe 17mm, Short-comb NEW, Long-comb NEW, Long-comb Goodwill...
The Fatboy is back in the drawer, and it's a NEW morning (sorry, Bob).

My Goodwill is exactly the same. A great razor.

How did I just now see this thread?!? I can't believe I've been cheating on my NEWs and using other, inferior razors this month. Oh wait . . . I haven't used a non-NEW yet this month. Whew! Happy birthday to the Gillette NEW!
Here's my little collection of NEWs:
From left to right: LC, SC, Flat Bottom, 17mm Deluxe, RFB, 17mm Deluxe Criterion, #77 or 88, and American Goodwill.

Here's my FrankenNew.
New LC head on a Made in England handle.
Not sure if I should replate to match.
