Gillette NEW long and short comb

[Ids]

Any pictures of these 2 head types knocking about? I beleave the long tooth version is the more aggresive.

Not in my experience, there is little if any difference in aggression between these two, the short comb feels a little different on the skin and I happen to prefer the long tooth which also seems to be more common, especially English made NEW's.

Hiya,

Years ago I tried lots of OC types. Personally, I found the short tooth versions to have more of a bite than the long tooth razors.

The earlier Gillettes will usually have that Old Type head, and some newer models with the NEW Improved head could have the longer teeth. The teeth are slightly curved on the LT version, and they sorta stick out in the ST. That may account for the difference in the shave.

Thanks guys for the information and pics, based on looks I think the long tooth version is on the cards.
