Most Efficient razor with Least Blade Feel

About to pull the trigger on the Muramasa Adjustable.
I am not expecting hyper efficiency, but a leisurely foray into acceptable efficiency
that is headlined by smoothness, comfort and gentleness.

From all I've read, this one seems to fit the bill.

And even if it doesn't, the fellows at Tatara have worked hard to earn a sale here,
by doing something quite unique.

The Muramasa is “the” blade to get!

My $.02 is the R41. Its really is smooth.

I love this guy jorvaljr 

A straight razor has less blade feel than an R41 V2011

You will like it, if that is what you are after.

Enjoyable and informative thread + I can across an interesting razor new to me, the Hone.

I believe I too am looking for the Most Efficient razor with Least Blade Feel.

Thank you, gentlemen.

Happy shaves,

Jim

From all the ones I have tried, owned and kept hands down Paradigm Diamondback 2020 for me.

Agreed! After going through all of my razors as I’ve been dramatically reducing my den lately and only keeping the ones I use I’ve come to the same conclusion. The only razor that is just a bit smoother but less efficient was the Titanium RS 10. The 2020 is in the neighborhood of  the WR2 1.35 Ti efficiency wise but definitely smoother. One thing about Andrew he knew how to put out a razor that offered both properties of both smoothness and efficiency/effectiveness and to me started the trend of a razor offering both characteristics when he came out with the 17 - 4. The 2020 just took it to another level. Of course this is just one mans opinion.

Hi, Frank. 

The Paradigm Diamondback 2020 sounds great but perhaps nearly unobtanium. 

As far as I know none of the Paradigm razors are readily available. They're currently sold out. I do not see them on the BST listings all that often either. Kinda a shame.

One gentleman mentioned a time or two on this thread that the WR2 1.55 is both efficient and in the least blade feel category. I brought that up in a which Wolfman to buy next conversation on B&B; it was suggested perhaps the gentleman uses the 1.55 as a cap rider, meaning, I believe, that the 1.55 has a lot of blade feel used at a steep angle.

I've not used the 1.55 at all so I know nothing about it from my own experience. 

My experience with Wolfman razors is limited to my WR2 1.15. The 1.15 is very very smooth, surprisingly efficient, and without a ton of blade feel. I experience a bit of blade feel with the 1.15 WTG, but not much blade feel WTG. There is significantly more blade feel ATG but it's not a deal breaker. 

I'd like more efficiency than the 1.15 offers and even less blade feel. 

Is anyone using the Wolfman WR2 1.55 at a steep angle (rather than cap riding) and experiencing "least blade feel" with it? Least compared to what?

Like many other guys, I'm searching for the perfectly efficient, incredibly smooth razor, with the least blade feel. 

I'd be interested in any comments about the WR2 blade feel, particularly in the 1.55. If the 1.55 has "least blade feel" membership it would certainly be a candidate to become my next Wolfman. (I should be at the top of the list in a month or so.) 

Thanks and very happy shaves to you,

Jim

I have every gap from 1.25 up to 1.65 in the WR2 in either OC or SB and my favorite is the 1.55SB. I feel as it is the smoothest at any gap that high and extremely efficient. If I sold all of my Wolfman razors and kept one WR2 and one WR1, it would be the WR2 1.55 and the WR1 .86. Just my opinion though. I find the 1.55 super smooth at just about any angle but I am a higher gap shaver.
