Well, I might just have to try a WR1, after all. No way I can know for sure what I like best, if I don’t try it for myself.

I prefer the wr2 but I dislike de blade feel. If someone enjoys the feeling of a de edge, then wr1 would be a good fit.

My preferred WR1 gaps are 0.74 and 0.80, with the WR2 1.15 working best for me. I find the 1.15 blade feel to be similar to the 0.74, but with efficiency between the two. The 0.80 has a bit less blade feel than a H&S P076, very efficient, not scary or anything, but has a bit of blade feel. I love all three and use them interchangeably.
So I recently picked up a WR2 1.25 and I'm on the fence about how I feel about it. In general, I don't love "sneaky" razors that don't have great feedback so the WR2 may not be a great fit for me.
I'm looking for advice on which head/gap would probably work best for me given the following:
- I don't need to shave every day, but I like the option to so I would want this to be an every day shaver.
- My favorite current "every day" shavers are the Gamechanger .84 and the Karve C plate (SB's).
- I also really like the Paradigm Diamondback, but would love it if it were a hair more efficient.
- I enjoy the CG Lvl2 and Timeless .95, but both are probably a bit too much for me to use every day.
I've been able to try a WR1 .67 and WR1 .74 (both SB's), and while I feel like I like the WR1 head a bit better than WR2, both of these feel a bit to excessive in blade feel and efficiency for every day use. I'm leaning toward trying to get a .61 to try, but would like some input. Those of you who've tried more WR1 gaps, which would you say is most comparable to the GC .84? Is there a WR2 that might be a better fit, other than the 1.25?
