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.

Colonial General ::  Morris and Forndran ::  Barrister and Mann LGC
Great shave from the General. It's a bit heavy for me due to some grip issues that I have with my hands, but only noticeable if I spend too much time with touch ups.  The result is excellent, very smooth. The M&F/Sears brush is a stunner and LGC may be my favorite scent, along with great B&M performance. What a shave.
