Which WR2 gap most closely matches the shave results (not feel) of a Muhle R41.
I would go at least 1.45 or up. If you don’t mind blade feel get the 1.65. I use a WR2 1.45 and it provides excellent results but as a daily shaver I don’t use it more than a few days in a row, as ther is minimal amount to shave then.

On my face, a 135 is closest in results to a 2011 R41. I've not used any other R41s. 145 cuts a little closer, 155 more still. Any WR2 has better face feel than a 2011 R41.

Another vote for the 1.55 ... but I'll tell you what ... the new SS Muhle GS R-41 is awesome ! I haven't shaved with anything else the last 4 or 5 shaves (every other day)

I almost bought the new SS R41, as I liked the results of the 2011, just not the material or face feel. Glad you are getting along with yours.

All of those you mentioned will give me a smooth BBS shave. In that sense it might be said they 'cut the same,' but all of the above feel differently to me when I'm shaving with them,
I would rate the 1.55 the smoothest between the WR1 .94, the CG 3, and the Muhle SS R-41, but any of those will give me the same result if I do my part.

That is how I judge them and determine which are "equal" and where one may surpass the others. Surely a 155 will last longer than a 2011, no?(04-15-2021, 01:29 AM)LOOT Wrote:(04-15-2021, 12:26 AM)JimmyH Wrote: Another vote for the 1.55 ... but I'll tell you what ... the new SS Muhle GS R-41 is awesome !

OPs question was about comparable results. By your metrics a .61 WR1 is equal to a 155, correct? They both can produce a BBS.
