Has anyone noticed that the blade stops on the early 1912 styles are not the same size? If you hold the razor in your hand with the comb facing you the blade stop on the left appears smaller. I've noticed this on 12s, dammies, beveled dammie wannabes, and even the 24 Goldilocks. I'm thinking maybe the tooling that stamped the base plate was off a bit.

It wouldn't surprise me.
Who knows how they were pressed/punched back then? I'm betting a press with a flywheel and a hammer type stroke. The operation may have been operator "controlled" as in tiny changes may have been induced by the operator.
I've noticed and heard of differences in aggressivenss in the same model razors.

I'm glad this subject was brought up. These differences made me believe I had imperfect razors. All of my SE razors exhibit this trait. My OC Damaskeene has very thin blade stops I don't know if this is common I just hope they don't snap off in time. In the end I came to the conclusion that the smaller blade stopss had to be from irregularities in the manufacturing process.
