@Shave Souffle you pushed the WR2 to 2.0 for science so you know what you have to do…Push the WR4 to beyond 1.5
Wolfman: On the waiting list. Questions.

@Shave Souffle you pushed the WR2 to 2.0 for science so you know what you have to do…Push the WR4 to beyond 1.5
Thanks. I'm not ready to go down the gem rabbit hole. I have too many blades as it is.

The WR4 looks interesting, though.
That's exactly what I said as I have plenty of regular DE's that work GREAT and I found THEE best blade for me, yet I'm still going down that rabbit hole.
About what? Gap WR4? or WR2?
The GEM rabbit hole is actually quite shallow... for modern razors especially. Not much choice outside of the big 3: Wolfman, Atelier Durdan and Blackland.
I agree,this is one reason why I don't have GEM blade razors
The choice of blades is also limited
This question Konrad. You are best source of information about Wolfman. What would you suggest to @Shave Souffle ?
Let's not exaggerate, there are many gentlemen here who know enoughI think 0.94 is already efficient, or 1.10 or 1.20 you will certainly have fun!
Got a response from Tara when I asked her what the largest blade gaps they have made regarding the WR3 and WR4 and here was her response:
I think 0.94 is already efficient, or 1.10 or 1.20 you will certainly have fun!
the largest gap we have done for the WR3 is .86 and the largest for the WR4 is 1.20.
I also asked if they had a chart for blade exposures and she offered this:
Here are the exposures:
WR1
.48 = -0.14
.54 = -0.06
.61 = +0.02
.67 = +0.10
.74 = +0.18
.80 = +0.28
.86 = +0.32
WR2
.75 = -0.150mm
.85 = -0.075mm
.95 = 0
1.05 = 0
1.25 = 0
WR3 Blade Exposures
.25 = 0
.30 = 0.25
.35 = 0.05
.40 = 0.075
.45 = 0.10
.50 = 0.125
.60 = 0.15
WR4
.30 = -0.15
.40 = -0.09
.50 = -0.03
.55 = 0
.60 = +0.03
.70 = +0.09
.80 = +0.15
.90 = +0.21
Guerrilla
.54 = 0
.69 = .05
.84 = .10
.99 = .15
I really don't know of any of my other razors' blade exposures except I recall reading recently the Blackland Blackbird is 0.15. I'll have to search here and see if there is a similar list for other brands to compare with.
I've seen this same list in other posts and I'm guessing Tara made a typo for the WR3 0.30 mm gap.
It should be 0.025 instead of 0.25.
This needs to become a B&B sticky post somehow!
I had seen the WR3 gaps/exposures that Wolfman had sent me but I've never seen a full blown list for every model.
Or better yet, Wolfman needs to update their website and publish these figures.
As good as Wolfman is, the website is ridiculous!
Interesting, those are not the numbers I expected for the WR1/2. Maybe the geometry has changed since the first razors were made. I've used alot of different baseplates for the WR1 in the past.
Excellent info
As I recommended 0.94 or 1.10 and if you want 1.20
WR2 spaces are incomplete or inaccurate
in another forum a user ordered a WR4 1.20OC and 1.25SB
I think the WR1 blade exposures are the same as when I ordered 2 years ago. I don't think I've seen WR2 blade exposures from Wolfman before. I was going by @Actor07 's WR2 chart which was put together from users measurements and extrapolations.
