At the request of Betriebsarzt13 here are some photo's showing my Progress which is a 2016 model manufactured using Merkurs new moulds as the old one's were worn out. There are some small changes to the head alignment arrow but I think its otherwise unchanged.
High-resolution versions available here: https://flic.kr/s/aHskB2y2av
The triangle ("arrow") on the base plate in the second picture needs to point to (be on the same side as) the notch on the side of the cap.Head alignment arrow? What Head alignment arrow?
Nothing bad will happen, but the numbers on the dial won't line up the dot on the handle.Whoda thunk it! I'll go see if I've been using mine incorrectly for all the wonderful shaves mine has given me.

Btw: any pictures of the bottom of the razor? Dial, knob etc? How does it align fully closed?
Also interesting is the number "1" on the cap and base plate. Mine as a "2" on the cap and nothing on the base plate. Any significance?
Well it certainly looks crisp and the plating is good. Who on earth found out they were changing molds? I couldn't get a reply from their customer support for a basic product question!
Thanks, ah so it's business as usual with Merkur finishing. Good idea to use needle files, the grooves on mine could use some of that.
