From here that looks like a 2mm blade gap! Wide enough to julienne some potatoes!
Yikes.

I've read that the Braveheart isn't as aggressive, so was expecting a pussycat. It isn't! I've been using it for a week now, and have also fallen in love with this too. It's a heavy, quality head, very shiny, good thick chrome, and blemish free. I've paired it up with an EJ 'barley' handle, and the combination is well weighted, with good balance.
The actual shave is really smooth, you can hear the rasping as it slices through your whiskers, not as pronounced as an SE blade, but still noticeable. I have a tough old beard, so never get away with less than a 3 x pass shave, but coupled with my favourite 'Rhino' blade, 3 passes with minimal tidy up gives every bit as good a BBS shave as my R41.
I picked up the head very reasonably here, and would highly recommend it. I'm not so sure it's worth the full price with the OE handle, but if you've got the dosh, you'll not be disappointed in the shave...

Just for the record, the current price of the head direct from Executive is £15 + £3.99 P&P (Yes, I know, P&P is a killer on such a small item!), so ordering it off their shop on Ebay is a worthy 99p saving...

Not forgetting the 10% discount we get as well.
