Hi all,
One week after my first ER 1912, i got my second one (Rabit hole i am coming ...). My first one was a "made in England" with the chain-patterned heavier handle. Its shaving nice and efficiently. The second one i bought is a "made in USA" with the same chain-patterned heavier handle. I bought it more as a backup. The only difference i could see before shaving with it was that the base of the head is missing the "PATD 1912" (apart from mentioning "made in USA" inside the head), so i thought they will shave the same.
But they are not ... the US one is milder that the UK. Later i checked closer the heads with a blade loaded in both and i actually find out that the UK cap is a tad shorter leaving more blade exposed. That's the only difference i can see.
Can this be just a factory variation or a different era design of the 2 razors?
