Just Here for the Shaves
Williamsburg, KY
Don't think Brian ever released that info. Here is a copy and paste from an interview with him from Sharpologist in 2020.
"Q: What are the blade gaps of Level 1,2,3? How were able to come up with them?
A: Level 2 & 3 actually use the same gap so it would just confuse people to publish those dimensions as those baseplates shave very differently. So, I don’t publish the blade gaps as I don’t use blade gap to control the aggressiveness. People get all worked up about blade gap because a single early razor maker decided it was important. Focusing just on blade gap is like shopping for a new car and only comparing what tire size the vehicle has!
I know that makes it hard to compare all of the razors, but I think subjective comparison is more useful then objective comparison as each manufacturer comes to it from a different design perspective.
Each of my baseplates is a unique design that utilizes a number of different variables to create the aggressiveness profile. It is overly simplistic to come up with one baseplate design and then increase/decrease the blade gap and claim you now have all of these great options. It took me 18 months of work to finalize all of the dimensions for each of the baseplates and refine the universal top cap. It was a lot of trial and error and figuring out how changing a single dimension would affect the shave with me being the guinea pig. Designing new razors is a lot easier now that I know the secret formula!"
