Old Sarge Introduction

[Old Sarge]

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. 

That's some kind of search and rescue team you have there! It's late, at least where I am, so I can appreciate you are tired and I'm grateful for your efforts! There are a lot of "P" words in your first "P"aragraph...I'll have to give that one another read tomorrow. Kind of has a Dr. Seuss sing-songy way about it! 

Nice razors! Is it an optical illusion, or is the Gen II head shorter from front to back than the Gen I...looks that way in picture 3, but not in pictures 1 & 2. It's interesting that Gen II has a crease on the top cap that slants away both to the front and the rear. It looks like it would change the shaving angle compared to Gen I, as the crease would push the razor away from your face. Because of this I would think they've got to shave a bit differently. I guess in a way this is comparable to the 1912s and how they have heads that are slightly different, with some being flat and some being curved.

I'll look again tomorrow after I'm up and got coffee in me. Really great photos! That Gen II is a real looker! The combination of the kind of matte grey plating and the brown handle is nice! The styling of the tab with the grooves gives it a modern look.

Again, much appreciated!!! Wish there were a thumbs up emoji option because this is where it would be!

Hey, GAW9576!

It just dawned on me that the top cap on the Gen I looks like the 1912, while the top cap on the Gen II looks like the G-Bar.
