OK. The search and rescue team found the pictures in my archives much faster that I had thought possible. But I'm tired so I'm not searching for a more proper place to post pictures pointing out possible peculiarities per my observations of perfectly pretty razors positioned to point out said peculiarities to people. So if anyone knows of a more proper spot to post this please inform me and I will repost there also.
So here they are. The first Gen. Is a deluxe in this case with glod head and end cap on the handle. The second Gen would then be the silver head and brown handled one. If you look at the 1st picture the most obvious and easiest to spot difference is the thumb tab differences. It's a bit harder to see differences in the second picture but in the third you can see the difference in the head profiles and how much further forward the side of the top cap of the second Gen. comes. These are the main differences that I have noticed. I can't say unequivocally that the first Gen is a better shaver in any rock solid fashion but I do prefer the first Gen. I eventually plan on getting a standard fist Gen. but if I were to only have one featherweight I would definitely want it to be a Deluxe.
