    I know I brought this up before, forgot where, and one question was answered about the markings on the head. I just wanted to show them better, especially how there is a difference in blade exposure. The white one actually shaves better, for me anyway, and is great at giving BBS shaves. The black one was actually rougher on my face, with a couple of weepers, go figure. If they are both I's, would there be a difference in the blade exposure? Also, would the white one be an I1 and the black one _____? IMG_0742.jpg IMG_0743.jpg IMG_0744.jpg

    The White Handled One was the Early 55 Model...The Cover Plate is Further Back but the Blade Exposure Looks the Same Between the Comb + the Blade..In Other Words the Blade Gap Between the Actual Comb is the Same...;)

    Ok, makes sense. I just took a closer look and the cover plate on the white one is actually a tiny bit thicker. Do you think this would make enough of a difference in the shaving angle. Maybe I'm so used to it and it's why I get better shaves from it over the black one.

    Thanks, maybe I'll keep the black one and a matching white one in their cases for display. The white one here always gives me BBS shaves along with my G.

    Nice razors. Now you need the hydro-matic.

    Yes I do. Every time I like one on Ebay, it either goes up in price or I'm out of "shaving" cash. Same with the "500".

    Somehow, I suspect that this sums up why I somewhat prefer my J1 (which is like your white I) over my M3.

    I have one each of the white I1 and the black I1. I haven't done a side-by-side comparison, but they seem to shave the same for me using the Ted Pella/Personna Injector blades. I didn't notice the differences in the top plates. I will have to take a closer look at them.

    Those Injectors are in great shape @jimjo1031! Also, I agree that you need a Hydro-Magic. The razor is a good shaver and I think the Hydro-Magic lever is a great innovation.
