It looks like they've made a few changes to the geometry of the head.
  • Single continuous lather slots
  • Ends of the blade gap are open (on the base)
  • Cross-section of the lather slot is curvier
  • Angled corners
The first three items should make it somewhat easier to clean.

Sept 7 - After a Bishop's move across the continent and over the border (Arizona - New Brunswick):
A 22 mm Best Kadger knot and a Gillette Ball End Replica Handle (brass/no plating)

The handle is for a Canadian Reverse-Stud Goodwill razor head that came to me with a Soviet-era Czech-made aluminum "Soluna" handle (a flea market find).
Now the head just needs a bit of light sanding (#1000 grit) and buffing with a polishing compound. That's a rainy day project.

The handle compares quite favourably to a vintage one (from my LC New). The knurling looks coarser though, but that's fine by me.
They make the three parts with a threaded fitting instead of a press fit, and the centre part is hollow (I think) so they're not too heavy (28 g).

The knot is for a Rubberset handle that I bought at an antique shop. The boar knot was worn to just a fringe, with the glue bump visible in the middle. 
I originally wanted a synthetic, but could find none that I like the appearance of in the right size, and I figured it looked best with a traditional knot anyway.
A test-fitting in the handle, jammed to the bottom for this photo:

Another rainy day project to select spacers and glue it in, but it fit snugly enough that I shaved with it tonight.
