@John Rose The I2 is my weapon of choice. The I1 is supposed to be the same head, just without the Hydro-magic feature.
Yeah, the HydroMagic feature seems like a real good idea, but the round handle on the K1 (actually a hand-me-down from my Mom) is a misfeature, IMHO. I tried holding it with my thumb on the HydroMagic lever but that put the balance off.
I don't know why round handles on my DEs do not give me trouble. Maybe it's the additional weight and knurling.
At any rate, as near as I can make out, the I2 is the only model with HydroMagic and a square or rectangular handle, so that's what I'm on the lookout for.

There is a Lady Eversharp with a square yellow handle which is effectively an Easy Rider with the HydroMagic feature. There is also a Type J4 which has a square black handle and the HydroMagic feature, but they are very rare.
