So, I have a question mainly on blade gap. Setting aside technique (because I can have an effective shave with just about any razor in my collection).
I was wondering: blade exposure I get. More exposure more blade forward and therefore potentially more blade contact with whiskers. Making the razor more aggressive in feel (even though that’s YMMV territory of course).
But why would blade gap contribute to the effectiveness/aggressiveness? I have razors with almost no blade gap and they are beastly aggressive and/or effective.
For example Wolfman (which I don’t have) started at .95 but we are in the 1.x digits now. What does a higher gap achieve?
Just curious…thanks!
