I have a WR 4 0.80 in Titanium and it a little aggressive but I like it..Mine is a 0.7 titanium SB. If I had my time again, I wouldn't bother with titanium, I think perhaps a bit of weight wouldn't hurt. I find this a very strange razor, unlike anything else I have in terms of face feel. I get absolutely no irritation whatsoever from it, and never cut myself. And yet, I find it curiously unsatisfying. Its brother, the WR4, has become my daily driver, and that is much more conventional-feeling and dangerous!
Same for me on this one, 0.50 but in the OC, efficient but comfortable.found 0.5 to be my sweet spot.
I have Vestige Durdan, Rocnel , Blackland Sabre original second plate and the new Version of Sabre...And I must say that I like Durdan and the Original Sabre..Hard to say. What other GEM razors do you enjoy?
.80 WR4 = 0.15 (with a Feather Pro)
.60 WR3 = 0.15
The open comb is excellent but less popular for some reason. I can get away with very mild sounding gaps but everyone is different.
UltraWhich Vestige plate?
.60 sounds about right given your taste in razors maybe try the open comb.
I gather the Rocnel is very aggressive
Stainless steel...One of the few modern GEMs to elude me.... perhaps it's for the best.
If you have the budget you could pick two baseplates. Which metal are you thinking of?
