I've been thinking about getting one of these. I'm not sure which base plate I want though. I use a standard gap Wolfman OC, but I shim it because the standard gap doesn't have quite enough blade feel. I also use an ATT M2, R1, and a Blackbird OC. I am thinking I probably want the C or D plate. Any suggestions?

I would also recommend the D plate, but it sounds like you may benefit from the upcoming E or F plates. I guess you could get all three or just wait for the release of the latter two.
Good luck.

Thanks. I don't need a super aggressive razor, so the D will probably be plenty. I just like a little blade feel so I don't use too much pressure. I might get the C as well just to try it.

This is off topic, but since you have the .61 and .74, would the .74 be similar to a .61 with a shim? I've been thinking of getting a more aggressive plate, assuming that's even possible since they're so hard to get, and I'm not sure if the shim is similar to the .67 or .74.

I’ve never tried a shim. I got the .74 because I was looking for something a little more aggressive. The .74 can produce weepers that I don’t have any concerns with on the .61. But if you respect it and pay attention you get great shaves

The C plate is a tad mild and it doesn't have a lot of blade feel. I don't think it would work for you, but for only $30 CDN, it would be worth trying it out.
Good luck.
