    Definitely both are the old Brockton production. One has that distinct 'hump' before the tail that mine (a roundpoint) has.

    Yep...Good eye Tom! The profile of the blade with that spine 'drop-off' to the tail is very cool. Definitely made prior to the company's sale and move to New Bedford, Mass. Great shavers!
