Dear gents;
Most of the discussion about safety razors is about aggressiveness vis a vis mildness. Most of the time that is expressed in terms of the gap between the blade and the safety bar. I have no doubt that it represents part of the formula of aggressiveness, but, i have learned that aggressiveness is a bit more complex. It also has to do with exposure of the blade and the angle in which the blade is held vis a vis the safety bar. For example, the Timeless .95 is considered a somewhat aggressive razor. The Asylum Evolution is plenty aggressive also, but it has no gap. Why is it that the discussion centers around gap dimensions and never around the other two factors? Why there is never any measurements of the exposure or the angle of the blade??? Shouldn't all them be considered?
I thank you for the time you take to post your reply,
