Unfortunately I wasn't expecting it till the end of the week at the earliest and I shave this morning. The worst part is it was a really good shave, BBS all the way, so it looks like I wont be able to try out the new razor till tomorrow night at the earliest:(

Looking on the bright side, I can stop looking for a New Improved, bad thing is now I have to find a new grail razor. Fatboys are in my opinion over rated and over prices, and I already have a Slim. I have a Single Ring, and a Brownie so I don't feel the need to go looking for a Double Ring. That leaves me with either a Sheraton or a Senator to lust for, I think a TTO Open comb razor could be the one:p

I will post pictures of the New Improved tomorrow evening after I shave with it.
 
OK finally got the time to put up a couple of pictures

The shave results will be in later tonight or early tomorrow morning in the SOTD thread.
 
Cool razor. The aesthetics of the the handle. . . too cool.
 
I'm a pretty big fan of my Aristocrat, though mine isnt open comb--if thats your thing, I believe they do have an older one that does. Just talking about it makes me want to shave with it tonight...
 
I have a few Old Types including a Single Ring and a couple of Gillette New, but I could never find a New Standard in the condition I wanted or price I was willing to pay, I like the shave of this one the best. Right now my vintage Gillette collection sits at 18, but it goes up and down month to month.
