They are offering 2.0 gap now? I should've waited a bit more.
if you have 1.6 it's worth getting 2.0They are offering 2.0 gap now? I should've waited a bit more.
Tell us how the shaving goesI'll try the Le Maurice tomorrow and see how that goes. The only other 2.00 gap razor I own is the Wolfman WR2, and that's still pretty mild for such a large gap. That's also an open comb so it will make a great head to head comparison. I guess I'll do one side with the WR2 and the other side with the Le Maurice.
Only having the 2.0 I can't speak about the other gaps, but if I were to guess I'd think you're spot on with that idea of it being in the 1.4-1.8 gap range.I’m considering a Le Maurice as I love the La Faulx. Have a Vestige on the way as I don’t currently have a Gem style razor. Wondering about gap options. For reference I like the efficiency level of my Blackbird, Yates H, and Chors. You guys that have the Maurice did you think I should be looking in the 1.4-1.8 gap range? Don’t want to go too crazy but I understand these are on the milder side for such a large gap.
You can use 1.8 very well if you use Stando Chors... but I'll tell you 2.0 too without any problemsI’m considering a Le Maurice as I love the La Faulx.

Fascinating, that the 0.8 gap was reported as being the least smooth. I wonder how this relates to @muzichead's comments that the lower the gap the the narrower the sweet spot/angle.I can't compare to the Le Faulx, sorry. There was a Le Maurice passaround here, but that thread has been deleted. There was also one on a different forum. We got to try the following gaps - 0.8, 1.0, 1.2, 1.4. Folks generally found the 0.8mm gap to be the least smooth. Anecdotally, I found the 1.2mm gap to be the best for me and I bought that head later. Just sharing to try to help you.
