Recently picked up a WR2 @ 1.25 | 80 mm Solid. Four shaves in and great razor, all around. Nice handling, very smooth. Very happy with it. The only issue is it seems too much for my skin and leaves me with a bit of irritation near the end of the shave, most in my neck area, which surprised me. I normally shave every second day.
Regrettably, I think I will need to move to a lower gap, but before doing so, wanted some opinions on whether this should be the 1.05 or 1.15. From reading the impressive collection of opinions here, it seems it would be the 1.05. I've read the .95 has no blade feel whatsoever. If this is true, then it sounds like the 1.05 may be ideal for me.
Any advise appreciated. TIA!
I’m not sure if this helps, but the 1.15 has a neutral blade exposure.
What would you compare the WR2 1.15 with, in terms of blade/ face feel?
Which Karve SB plate, or Rockwell 6S? Or versus Timeless .95?
I have a 1.25 and I find it similar to the Timeless 95. I think it’s similar in efficiency to the Karve F plate, but it’s a lot smoother. I didn’t get irritation from the Karve, but it wasn’t smooth for me.
