I’d say the most popular one is the Game Changer series. Do you have a razor that you like right now? Do you think you’d prefer something milder, more aggressive, or the same?
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.

I 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.
Is 5 a middle setting?

Are they better than an engineer’s caliper?
If you already have calipers I won’t stop you! I have a pair of digital calipers and the feeler gauges seemed like a much better tool for the job!
6 is max. But when I used an open comb I shredded my face. If I had to guess, it likely maxed out at around middle aggressiveness.
