I purchased a 'merica razor recently and I wonder if they have changed the design or if the specs are inaccurate. I've searched the topic and most comments describe the 'merica razor as mild. The vendor's website claims .016" blade gap which would be very mild.
I found several posts here in the forum that describe the 'merica as similar or slightly milder than the Yates 921 M plate (M plate is .025").
Then there is a YouTube video where (SinatraLennon I think?) tries it for the first time and thinks it's almost as aggressive as an R41 (but not as scary) ... and another where the reviewer is comparing the 'merica to a Rockwell on plate 5 (.027"). And when I measure the blade gap on my new 'merica, a .029 feeler just barely slips into the gap between the edge of the blade and safety bar so I'd say the blade gap is .029
So what's going on here? Did they change the design and not update the specs? Anyone else purchase one recently?
