Difference between 40 style SS & 70s style SS in shave technique?

All,

Starting my third week of DE shaving next week. I went and purchased two DEs...a 40s and 70s style SS.

I've been using the 40s and only just started getting good DFS results. I want to try out the 70s style.

When I put the blade in, it looks as if it doesn't protrude as far as the 40s style did. It also feels lighter with the black handle.

Any thoughts on differences with the actual shave?
 
They lowered the head profile in the mid 60s. I don't have a SS from that era, but my slim has the low profile head, and it's a more comfortable shave when I'm doing my upper lip, especially ATG.
