I also notice is the blade gap seems to be quite a bit narrower on the Heritage compared to the KCG.

and... after getting the razor in the mail today and shaving with it... the verdict... the handle is cool. decent weight. its deffinitely a muhle or edwin jaggar head. Shaved with one before and i wasnt quite impressed with the shave... Trying this heritage today and its better than i remember, but still not aggressive enough for me. my favorite razor is a gillette red tip. With that r41 open comb head coming in, should be better. 7.5/10 for me.
Put a feather in it and see? If it is still too dull, sell it?I’ve had my Gillette heritage in my rotation since December 2019, and now feel it’s too mild for my tastes. The heritage is a nice razor, but I’m finding that I bypass it more than I use it lately due to the extremely mild shaves. I didn’t feel that way when I bought it, so maybe I’ll revisit the heritage in a few months.
I’ll definitely be sure to give that a try. I have an unopened tuck ready to go.Put a feather in it and see? If it is still too dull, sell it?
A shim really woke mine up, made it feel like a GC84-PI’ve had my Gillette heritage in my rotation since December 2019, and now feel it’s too mild for my tastes.
