Thank you,
O.63 was an estimate (feeler does not provide exact measurements) so I am guessing 0.61. 

You helped, my friend

The indicated gaps are low middle for the "standard" WR1 gaps (0.48, 0.54, 0.61, 0.67, 0.74, 0.80, 0.86, and 0.94). Only you can determine if they are non-aggressive or mild on your face. Some men's butter knives are other men's machetes.

Are these logical numbers for a Wolfman gap?
AM I using a relative Non-Agressive, mild Wolfman?

0.61 is the standard gap so your 0.63 is probably that. 0.67 is the next one up. Both have the same blade exposure of 0.10mm. That sounds like a nice medium efficient set!

Got it, Thank you so much

Both are excellent gaps, the next gap up 0.67 to 0.74 will be noticeable. I have 0.61 OC/SB and 0.67 OC. Really should try the 0.67 SB at some point.

+0.10 to 0.17mm exposure

Agree that not having individual caps may make a difference. Wolfman doesn't sell individual baseplates.

Unfortunately, inches wouldn't be easy unless you have machinist level tools. 
0.026
0.025
But they are both off by a few 10thou so if you used inch gauges and converted to mm, you wouldn't be able to line them up with published specs.  Confused

Luckily I was educated in the metric system, millimeters is something I understand, I would be lost with inches, my feeler gouge is in mm.
