Are you able to tell which version I have?
Looks like a 1st Gen standard. Great razor. There is a Deluxe that is Gold plated and has a gold colored end cap on the handle too. Then the 2nd Gen that has some slight differences to the head. The second Gen had several handle colors. I can never remember if white was one but there was definitely a dark Grey and a dark brown. I also saw a picture of one recently that looked dark greenish brown.
Here are some pictures of the 1st and 2nd Gen.

It's interesting that I haven't seen the second-gen at all on the big auction site. I'll pick one up if I ever see one. Thanks for identifying what I have!

Friday's Shave
![[Image: zcws.jpg]](https://i.postimg.cc/T3wkjbjP/zcws.jpg)
Cold Water Rinse
Strop Shoppe Unscented Shave Soap
Jayaruh 287 Synthetic
Stoll Jr. Lather Catcher
Personna GEM SS PTFE
CWR
Aqua Velva Musk AS
Day 26 of 3D Printed Razor Month
The Strop Shoppe Unscented Shave Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh 287 Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Stoll Jr. Lather Catcher Razor with a Personna GEM SS PTFE Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Aqua Velva Musk AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

The easiest to spot difference is the thumb tab since I'm not positive if there were only white handles on the 1st Gen. And I don't know for sure if any 2nd razors would have had a white handle.
I'm always glad to be a help in any way I can.
