Mr Fine 316 Stainless Steel Razor

From the photo it is clearly not identical to the New LC. It is clearly inspired by it. Without more photos it is hard to say exactly how it differs.

I'm just going by the text which claims identical geometry if not aesthetics and obviously posts rather than slots. I agree the resemblance is not obvious.

Per email 100 razors will be for sale July 23 (website only). The ad on the Mr Fine website has been removed so not sure what the price will be. Comparing razor to the 1930s Gillette New long comb. 316 CNC finished.

I wish the geometry weren't identical to the New LC of which I have two perfectly good ones already. Perfectly happy with brass so it would be a lot more compelling with tweaked geometry.

the original New LC has a slotted blade holder and clearly this one doesn't. The handle looks similar.

The reference was to geometry which in theory could still be identical. Fine doesn't claim the razor is a replica which it obviously isn't.

Even the combs look quite a bit different to me. Too bad they don't provide more than one view.

Yes they are. Nobody said it was a replica. It's a good looking razor. It's the opposite of what Charcoal did with the model 1 series.

So, is there anything new & novel here or is this just another SS razor amongst a veritable myriad of others in a market glutted to the gills as such? Will it do anything better other than cause uncontrolled knee trembling and pearl clutching for OCD buyers?

I guess for folks averse to using vintage razors it might be appealing if priced right.

I like this hybrid.
Not a replica, but a mix of other ideas:
• Wolfman head
• Muehle bar
• Gillette handle

A visual input ...

The email I got said that it is based on a $500 razor... So definitely any Gillette. Rather, Wolfman.

good lather has no suds

Good way to sell razors for any price less than that. Worked for razorock.
