JohnnyO said:You'll probs find that shaving is even easier & more natural due to the shaving head being offset in the handle. Just lay the head along your cheeky, cheek, cheek & alter the angle very slightly until the cutting edge reposes upon the manly bristlies, then prepare to enjoy a rapturous experience.
Biggest thing to check I'd suggest is that prior to use the blade is correctly inserted in the head & that an even cutting edge is exposed thoughout its length. There should be 2 locating pegs in the head which assist in locating the blade correctly. I know because I once didn't have the blade correctly aligned & left one cheek a red ruin with just one stroke of the razor. Fortunately these were very minor, surface scrapes & I've never repeated the error again, nor been quite so casual in my first stroke !

Thank you . I read that there was a difference but not sure that they explained it.

Drroly said:To the best of my knowlede, the "art deco chain link" handles only came with 1912 pattern razors. The razors commonly known as 1924 (ie the one with the head that hinges all the way open at the front) have smaller with less decoration but a higher polish.
However just because I've never seen a 1924 with a chainlink handle doesn't mean they don't exist. 1912, 1914 and 1924 went through a variety of different small detail changes over the years.
