That WR3 is absolutely stunning, congratulations! I think it looks amazing with the WRH1 and WRH2. Are your Handles standard length or shorties? I’ve never used a GEM Razor before, but the looks of these makes me want to. Love the looks of the OC as well.

I got the short handles. Perfect weight and balance for me with the WR3 head.

My third WR3 arrived yesterday. It has a 0.50 mm balde gap and is made of brass. Fantastic first shave. Very comfortable and smooth razor.

Decided to take the .86 WR3 Ti for a spin since it’s going to be months before my name comes up on the WR4 and this thing didn’t disappoint. Took down 3 days growth on my head and face in 2 passes with a touch up and achieved BBS. I need to spend more time with this razor because it really surprises me how nimble it feels considering the size of the head. I’m really glad James decided to make a GEM because it’s easily the finest shaving razor of this type ever created. Also, the Turn N Shave M1 knot is so dense that it reminded me of chinchilla and for a minute I wondered if a dust bath would be needed, haha.

If you don’t mind me asking, what 3 blade gaps do you have and what’s your favorite? I’m looking to order one of these soon and am trying to get/find good user comparisons on blade gaps. Thanks!

Which razors are you trying to compare the WR3 to? I've tried a number of gaps from .35 to .74 so may be able to give some idea.

This gap hits the sweet spot for me as a traditional 3 pass daily shaver - plenty efficient without sacrificing fantastic smoothness and comfort.

A masterpiece

If you want a WR3 that will give you a good shave I wouldn't go below a .060 gap

I respectfully disagree.  I had a wonderful shave this morning with my .40.
