I've been looking into getting a high-gapped Wolfman WR2 for a while now - specifically a 1.55. From what I can find on this site is that the gap/exposure combination is 1.55/0.4 mm and that seems quite unique.
I've been using a GreenCult 2.0 #4 (1.05 mm gap, 0.2 mm exposure) for daily shaves, but I've been using it with 5 blade shims. I've definitely simulated the gap of the 1.55 WR2 like this, but I don't think I'm up to the exposure of the 1.55 WR2 based on the chart here: Blade gap and exposure - https://www.badgerandblade.com/forum/threads/blade-gap-and-exposure.636078/page-2
Through experiments with this razor's other plates, and the shimmed #4 plate, I'm kind of sold on razors with large gaps and exposure. If I shave steep with this setup, I get the most irritation free shaves as I've ever experienced.
What I'm curious about is if there's any other razors that come close in the gap/exposure parameters that a 1.55 WR2 would provide (excluding other WR2s...). I want to make sure I've done my research before I pull the trigger on one.
