The change over to modern flatter Gem blades mentioned by Tom could explain the changes in geometry. Using the "Junior" name could be a marketing touch to show tht it is a newer generation just like the Gillette "New", "improved" for its double sided thingies.
I have seen that flatter head on travel sets I think. I will have to dig around and see if I can find enough razors to find out if there are Jr.s with different heads or if the different heads carry different names.
I think you're referring to the "squat" head, which was for those thin cigarette cases.
I've only seen them with the regular GEM brand on them. I have one but don't have a pic of the back of it right now, here's one from the web.
Boar brushes, brass razors, and hard pucks ARE traditional wet shaving. Everything else is modern day fluff for the girly men.
