Nice razors!I received these earlier in the week;
Phoenix Dbl OC and 1930's Gillette NEW long comb (restored and plated in Rhodium).
The NEW has not got any marks on it at all.
I shaved with the Phoenix today, It's a mild razor (which I prefer) and got a dam fine shave with 2 passes.
I have read a lot about this thing leaving lines of soap on your face with each pass, I hardly got any!
All I can say, it's a comfortable razor to use with a Feather blade in it, I must have found the correct angle first hit!

I'm intrigued by the longer handle on the NEW. I haven't seen too many with a handle that long. I find that the longer handle (I use the Weber Classic) with the NEW LC is brilliant.
Thanks @Mark1966. I think I have a similar handle but it's not solid (just hollow and rather light).That looks like the thinner Common bar handle -

And those two bottles of such FINE looking brew?

Thanks once again.

I'm a sabbatical fail remember? I think you need to ask someone else. [emoji15]They were purchased on eBay. You need to get me on a sabbatical, @filobiblic !
