Interesting. I guess there was some variation in these. Both versions seem “correct” to me.Thank you for posting, Trey.
Yep, the cap on my original beater RFB (below) has the shorter locating fins and the center crease, just like @Swingboy8's. Using that cap, alignment is perfect.
I guess we all have our own lingo for razor parts. Your "posts" are my "locating pins" (or bullets) on Old Types and "locating fins" on NEWs.
Here's my "beater" which shaves just as brilliantly as my (previously) unused 1939 RFB, and needs no alignment adjustment:

My new to me ‘34-‘37 Aristrocrat It was crusty and I thought it had a cracked tooth, but once I cleaned it up, no crack!!! It was very rough opening and closing and had a squeak. After cleaning, I oiled it up with mineral oil and it no longer squeaks and it has smoothed out. Should have got some before pictures!

Look what came in the post today! My EJ89! It's perhaps the most beautiful DE razor I've ever seen!

is it the Kelvin version? Asking because it looks cool.
How would I know?
Is it item # DES89KNBLAMZ?
If you mean "product code," that's DES89KNAMZbl.

What’s all this “beater talk”. Shame on you gentlemen-
that’s barely broken in
Thank you. Yes, that product code is for the “Kelvin” version of their DE89 safety razor.

Yup, that's exactly what this is. Is that significant in some way?

The DES89K Was my very first razor. I used it last on Thursday. It's a lovely shaver, just enough heft and well-balanced. I love the short handle. A fantastic price-point too. I hope you have many happy shaves with it!
Acquired a RazoRock Aluminum Lupo. First two shaves were great with a Voshkod, third shave was a lot of tugging. I wouldn’t think the blade is dull after just two shaves (6 passes). Has anyone else had this issue with the razor? Maybe my angle is off. Being so light does it need a touch of pressure? I don’t understand what I’m doing wrong.
Acquired Pristine PS-515 two weeks ago and shaved with it today. Nice mild razor!
