Can you help me spot where the difference in the lather channel is? I just examined the three razors again & my old eyes can't seem to see what I'm looking for even with my readers on.
If you look at the sides of the lather channel the E1 and E5v1 are angled differently than the middle razor. They either used a different die to stamp the piece or somehow stamped it upside down.
Menthol Monday's Shave Cold Water Rinse Ingram Shave Cream Jayaruh #326 Russian SHaDE Personna Half blade CWR Osage Rub My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Ingram Shave Cream face lathered well with Jayaruh #326 Brush. I did two passes and a cleanup with the Russian SHaDE razor with a Personna Half blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Osage Rub. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
Mon 6th Jan RazoRock Syn.22mm P &B Spitfire ATT SE1 Schick Proline [ 6 ] Myrsol Antesol A/S Lotion I am beginning to find that Shaving on alternate days is quite pleasant , as the lay off seems to make the Shave that much easier. As I am stuck in the house while the leg gets better being slightly stubbly does not matter.

Schick E2 w/fixed spring, Personna blade, shave 1 This one is the 2nd fixed spring design and 4th and last iteration of the E2. So far this razor is the best shave of all the Type E razors I've used. Only question to resolve is how well the shave was due to a freshly loaded blade and due to the razor. Couple of more shaves with this blade and as it wears will answer that.
I had an Excellent shave with two wonderful razors by ASR sharing a 4th use Gem SS. The Gem Featherweight Deluxe and the Ever-Ready Little lather catcher. These are both great razors but at nearly opposite ends of the spectrum in terms of shave characteristics. The Gem handled touching up the upper beard lines and the Ever-Ready handled the neck below the beard. Don't worry I stopped at the collar bone. Pre-shave was handled buy a wash with Palmolive stick and a light rinse leaving some of the soap. Then I whipped up a nice wet lather of Tabac on my SHD two band badger. A little witch hazel splash rounded things out.

I took a closer look and they are the same. It is the way it looks in the picture. I also checked mine which I just got in and the lather channel matches the E1 and E5v1 to verify.
