    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?

      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?

        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.

            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.
