La Faulx by Atelier Durdan Pass Around…..

How do folks handle the under the nose issue I've read about?
Man these razors are such lookers, great choice! I was considering ordering a SS or Ti medium plate, so let me know if you decide to sell the SS plate you upgraded from!
Between this and the wr4. I'm torn.
My sentiments exactly, their tied for me. I have Ti Wr4 .86 and Faulx Ti ++.
The Wr4 excels in many areas and is definitely more efficient but just as smooth. Faulx Ti++ excels in ATG pass, its best SE in that regard. Both are works of art. I like the look of the Faulx but the maneuverable nature of the Wr4, as nimble as the Vector Ti for me.
++
of smooth similar efficiency to my WR4 .70 …. but the smoothness
Based on using both, my opinion is that the La Faulx is better than the WR4. But don’t just rely on me, and they’re both certainly excellent razors. I think part of it is that the WR4 is much lighter than I prefer, but also with the 0.50mm gap the WR4 has more blade exposure than the La Faulx Classique, so not as gentle, and I still find the La Faulx more efficient.
Does anyone know the weight of the brass, handle included? The posted table appears to be a bit wonky.
Technically the AD has more exposure but it's a completely different design
La Faulx .56 0
WR4 .50 -0.03

Not sure if 0.50 WR4 has positive blade exposure
WR4:
And from Atelier Durdan:
I can tell from my experience I have WR4 0.65 (it should be +0.06) and La Faulx +Medium (+0.05) and they shave different but blade feel is very close.
I think it is more geometry and not numbers what makes La Faulx like milder, but for me WR4 shave more close.
I prefer La Faulx with not guarded blades (Kai Pink) and WR4 with Kai Protouch MG when use daily.
With my name coming up in a couple weeks.... do I order the WR4 0.50... or step it up a notch and get the 0.55 to get the efficiency to more or less match the La Faulx Classic?
From the charts, it would appear that WR4 0.7 gap would have a similar effect as the LF ++
both? ;-)
I already have and love the La Faulx Classic.. and my name will be at the top of the Wolfman list in a couple weeks. I was pretty sure I was going to get the WR4 0.50 but if it isn't quite as efficient as the La Faulx Classic, I might need to rethink that.
I am so jealous of all of you who have and use the La Faux. I am still waiting, waiting, waiting. As you can tell, I am a very patient person.
Did I miss any reviews of the Ti? Does it shave differently than the SS or other metals? If I were to purchase another La Faulx (I have the OG medieval bronze), I’m thinking Ti would be the way to go
