Hi all,
I am trying to wrap my head around the difference between the wr2 and wr1 razor head, particularly SB/safety bar. Anyways the whole blade gap vs blade exposure is confusing. I read that for example a .75 wr2 and a .75 wr1 have the same blade gaps but the Wr1 would be more aggressive due to more blade exposure. I have read that a WR1.61 is more aggressive than a wr2 1.05?? That doesn't make sense to me, i would think the lesser blade gap to be less aggressive. These razors are too much money not to research it before even thinking to buy one or get on the list. I looked for the smallest 'blade gap' from Wolfman and its a wr1 at a gap .48 Is this the least aggressive razor that Wolfman makes, despite its what people calls 'positive blade exposure '?
