So would a Wr1 .48 be more or less aggressive than the wr2 .75? I think that the .75 is the least gap in the wr2. I googled both models (wr1 and wr2) and i can see the geometry difference in the More curvy wr2 head vs the less curvy wr1 head

A WR1 .48 I believe should shave close to a WR2 .75, with the WR1 marginally more aggressive. YMMV
I don't have a WR2 .75. I only have WR1-DC .48 and .74 and WR2-DC 1.05 and 1.25.
Most razors you should be able to get BBS or close to BBS, it's a matter of angle of shave. Razors are designed for optimum cutting at certain range of angles.

I was considering the .48 Wr1. But the blade gap is so low (compared to the slim adjustable at setting 2) it looks like it would not be efficient enough even though the exposure big. That's even a smaller gap than the Feather asd2.

Just a few examples of very efficient razors with low blade gaps:
- Blackbird
- Timeless bronze
- Timeless slim
- WR1

I know the gap on the bronze is 0.38 and the Slim is .50. The exposure on the slim and bronze is 0.05mm. The Slim is advertised as to have a lot of blade feel. I remember when I first got the 0.38 bronze, I thought it had some bite. I was surprised later on when I started learning more it was only 0.38, but I don't believe I had learned exposure yet. I personally find the Slim to be efficient and quite comfortable for me.
From my research all I ever found on the Blackbird was the gap is 0.58mm, if my research was correct. No idea on blade exposure. I have no experience with any Wolfman products.
