A fair old bit of swapping heads and handles went on before the original New Merlette was created, but we had a nickle head on a chrome handle. So we bought a Standard New head from a TSR member - thanks, Andy - that was in need of restoration and went looking for a chrome plater. He turned out to work a mile or so from my home but had a £50 minimum charge - so he did the New head for free along with someone's exhaust pipe and kick start.
Chrome head from a Gillette Standard New, chrome handle from a Merkur 23C long handled closed comb razor and we have......
The New Merlette
She shaves very well with that bit of New aggression easily controlled by the long handle - and looks the cat's whiskers!
The Merkur head now resides on my Neep extra-long handle and they go together well. So where to put the Stahly head when it arrives in the next few days?
