A Black Lab's Shaving Journal

Few modern razors offer the combination of a small blade gap, .023", an extremely rigid design and, positive blade exposure.

It's a damn shame, Mike.

I'm not sure what the blade exposure on a RR Lupo 72 is. Let me see if I can find it.

It's positive but how much? Probably somebody knows, but I don't. 0.72 mm is only 0.02834 inches, which is a small gap by just about any standard.​

Maybe the Lupo is a decent option in a modern razor. I've used and like the Lupo 95 but not the Lupo 72. The reviews are good though. The Lupo has a very rigidly supported blade.​

The Timeless Bronze 38 has a blade gap of only 0.01496 inches. It is very rigid in how the blade is supported. The blade exposure is positive at 0.002 inches.​

I agree with Mike on the Fatip, but my choice would be the FOCS.

There are a few others, but big gaps are more in fashion at the moment.

Happy shaves,

Jim
