Hi GlazedBoker would it be possible for me to move down a couple spots, please? How about from 7 to 9? I'm also just one person away on the Paradigm Diamondback test and I don't want the two razors to arrive at the same time. This way keto and Big_T could each go one notch sooner and nobody else would be disrupted. Please let me know, thank you!

Not a problem. I’ll get it modified if all others don’t mind moving up one spot. If so, just let me know….

A refresher from the AD website:

Technical Details: The GAPs and blade exposures of N°7 are designed to satisfy all shaving profiles:

GAP 0.3 mm : blade exposure -0.12 mm
Very gentle: Ideal for daily shaving. Perfect for sensitive skin and to prevent irritation.

GAP 0.5 mm : blade exposure -0.05 mm
Soft: Also suitable for everyday use, providing a little more blade feel while remaining very comfortable.

GAP 0.7 mm : blade exposure +0.01 mm
Balanced: An excellent compromise between gentleness and effectiveness. Suitable for those seeking an efficient shave with moderate blade feel.

GAP 0.9 mm : blade exposure +0.07 mm
Effective: For those who prefer a deeper shave with a more pronounced blade feel. Ideal for frequent use with a little more robustness.

GAP 1.1 mm : blade exposure +0.13 mm
Very effective: Provides a deep and smooth shave. Perfect for those looking for increased efficiency without compromising on comfort.

GAP 1.3 mm : blade exposure +0.18 mm
Aggressive: For experienced users who want a very close and clean shave. Ideal for less frequent but very precise shaves.

GAP 1.5 mm : blade exposure +0.23 mm
Very aggressive: Designed for exceptional mornings where a very close shave is necessary. Provides maximum blade feel for an ultra-smooth result.

A real shame not to have the 0.9mm plate available in the pass around
It really seems to be one of the more interesting plates

I agree, however in Augustins defence he’s tried to cover all tastes.
As it is I found the 0.7 perfect as a daily razor, the  1.1 for a few days growth.

better to replace the 0.3mm plate with the 0.9mm,to date almost no one has tried the 0.3mm plate

blade exposure -0.12 mm (plate 0.3) is similar to Muramasa on setting 1. I was not able to shave under setting 3, only with pressure..

anyway, ordered N7 with 0.9 and 1.1 plates. I'm not expert, only beginner always learning but can share after use how it worked for me..

Only four have tried the razor so far on DFS.
I have tried the 0.3 elsewhere though.
Augustin has supplied an expensive razor free for passarounds and tried to cover all tastes.
You can’t expect him to supply every baseplate.

Friend, I don't expect anything, mine was just an opinion...then if you always want to see a controversy that's another matter
Let me start by saying that I own an N 7 with 1.1 and 1.5 plates, I also ordered a 0.9 plate,I don't expect anything at all
