This afternoon I was playing with my micromatics and noticed a difference in the two heads. One has round pegs on the left and right sides in the head and the other does not. They look like circles next to the center peg.
Does any experience a difference with these two types?
I noticed when loading a blade you can float the blade up a little easier when loading like in mrguys video with the nub version. My gold open comb doesn't have these nubs and when loading the blade it falls flat not matter what.
Do you think this affects shaving angles?

I just looked at my MM heads and I have some with and w/o also.
It's got to affect angles unless the flat plane of the un-nibbed heads was raised up to the nibs. In different words, and I didn't examine this in depth, If the head was thinned out and the nibs were added to make up the difference in height, there might not be an angle change.
I hope that makes sense.

I also wonder if this is why some use the razor flat on their face and others do not..

I just checked mine. I have 2 CPs and 2 OCs. They all have the nubs. I wonder if it was something they added to later models or something they deleted.

Of all that I have and have had, some have the nubs while others don't.

I'm interested in this too. I have seen the double edged Micromatic blades with no spine. I speculate as to if this was the reason for having the two bumps.
