With smaller bevel angles, (thinner spines, larger blades for example) I can utilise a larger shaving angle, a spine’s width away from the face.
Somehow, I feel we are approaching the area where we overthink the theory of shaving.
I also doubt that many of use would be able to precisely compensate the shaving angle for differences in spine width.

I am in the camp that keeps the spine about one spine width (possibly 1 1/2) above my face, but I do not spend much time thinking about it. Over the years, I just arrived at an shaving angle that works…
