Does anyone have this razor and what is the easiest way to tell which version you have?
I had and sold one. From my research the only way to tell is by being the original owner, and having received the updated more aggressive baseplate. Mine was an original owner who did not get the updated version. Was so mild it was hard to shave with. Nonetheless, a pretty sweet looking razor and interesting concept.
What I should have done is try to fashion a few shims out of old GEM blades to increase the gap, and see how it shaved. Didn't get the idea until after I had traded it away.

I've done a bit of research and now know the variations in the 3 versions. Didn't realise there was a version 1.5.
"There is a little facet under the blade that determines the blade gap. This facet was shorter on the V1. The V1 was then modified (V1.5) to make the facet taller and increase the blade gap. The V2 has the taller facet and we also increased the size of the rinse ports."
