minus-squareJake Farmlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·edit-22 days agoI have a Merkur Futur clone that I use on the 5 setting. I should probably measure the blade gap. I’ll have to find myself some calipers.
minus-squarewalden@sub.wetshaving.socialMlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·2 days agoIs 5 a middle setting? Blade gap is only part of the equation, so if it turns out to be 0.68mm, for example, it’s still going to be quite different than a Game Changer .68. I’ve measured blade gap before and feeler gauges are the way to go if you’re curious.

Are they better than an engineer’s caliper?
