So I was able to find a standard gap WR1 with a Darwin handle. I wanted an SB but ended up with the OC after asking with the seller about how well the PC works. It showed up yesterday and after I unwrapped it and checks it out I couldn't wait to try it. I waited until this morning and loaded a fresh Astra blade. After lathering up with L Occitane Cade soap, I made the first pass. My first thought was wow, it seems like it's super smooth. For a second I thought it was maybe missing a lot of my two day scruff. I also felt like I wasn't in love with the Darwin.

After the first pass, I realized that not only was it not missing anything, it was cutting so well that I probably could have stopped there.

I lathered up and made the second pass anyway. When rinsing, I was surprised how smooth and not irritated my face was. Usually when I shave this close I remove the first layer of skin and feel it when applying aftershave.

All day long, I've been checking and just now starting to feel a bit of stubble.

I'm pretty amazed and looking forward to shaving again tomorrow morning.

There are days when I wish I could shave twice. This is one of those daysWink

Now I'm looking forward to trying a BBS-1 to see the difference between the two.

Congratulations on a successful first shave with your new Wolfman. Out of curiosity, what razor were you using prior to the Wolfman?

I've been using an ATT M1 and R1. Great razors and I love them. This is just another level.

The Wolfman is definitely in my top 3. Believe it or not, it took me a while to get there, wasn't love at first shave for me. Once I used it over and over however, it became one of my personal favorites. It is right behind my Timeless for best shaver.
