Would those who have tried both of these razors, please share their comparisons with us.  
They look to be of similar build and design.  It would be useful and informative.  Thank you.

To me the WR1 is much more forgiving. Shave results were nearly identical for me, but the P076 was more efficient, but you can definitely feel it. Much more present blade feel with the P076 and if prep wasn't perfect then it could be rough with me. The WR1 is more comfortable for me and gives essentially the same results. I had the Ti P076 SB for reference.

I now own both a Wolfman WR1 .74 SB & an H&S Co P076 SB.  I have only shaved with the Wolfman once, so I will concentrate on design and build. Here are some noticeable comparisons.  The Wolfman has a thinner topcap and a thicker baseplate.  The H&S Co has a thinner baseplate and a thicker topcap.  The Wolfman has a scalloped safety bar. The H&S Co does not.  The lather ports on the H&S Co are divided in the middle.  The Wolfman lather ports are not.  The H&S Co lather ports are larger and the safety bar is thinner, making it easier to rinse clean.  The blade post slots go all the way through the baseplate on the H&S Co, making it easier for water to drain through.  The blade post slots on the Wolfman do not.  Both razors are excellently built and meticulously finished.  My first shave opinion is that the Wolfman is a little bit more forgiving, and a little bit less efficient than the H&S Co.  It also doesn't rinse clean as easily.  Those are my observations.  I will return to this thread with further comment after I have more shaving experience with the Wolfman, but from a design perspective I tend to favor the H&S Co.  It also costs less, and is easier to obtain.  "That's all folks."

Two shaves later, side by side, and I decided to sell the Wolfman.  I couldn't afford it to begin with, 
and IMO the H&S outperformed it in everything but 'cool factor'.  I used to own a '71 Mercedes 250, 
and now I own a '98 Toyota Camry.  The Toyota Camry is in every way superior to the Mercedes 250, 
except for 'cool factor'  Yet the Mercedes commands a significantly higher resale price.  Go figure.
