Going on with my tests with the Lea sticks. Today I used the current version. It's veggie based so the lather isn't as dense as the former stick. Glide is very similar and I would dare to say that perhaps the denser lather offers a tad more protection with the older stick, but I'd corroborate this (or deny it) in future shaves with other razors and blades.
The Mach 3 cartridged is on its 6th IIRC, and starting to show wear, but still usable.
