New Wolfman 'Guerrilla' Razor?

I'll get one.

This is going to be a great addition to the SS market. If I didn't already have a Wolfman I would definitely be getting one. Maybe I still will.

Also, I think we need to applaud artisans for bringing more obtainable and less expensive offerings, not try to discredit them. People have always complained about how hard it was to get a razor that was made by James/ Wolfman. Well here's you chance.

I have both a .61 and .74 OC Wolfman.  I find both to be a smooth shavers and am comfortable using both.  I find the .61 to have the blade feel of a Slim on 5 but more efficient than the Slim on 9.  While the .74 relates more closely to a Slim on 7.  The .74 will bite if I am reckless but it is the more efficient of the two.  The .74 Wolfman OC and my .95 Timeless OC are very similar to me in terms of efficiency and smoothness.

Thank you for your thoughts.  I use my Slim/Fatboy on setting 6.  It sounds like I would prefer the .61, but I think I should be able to handle the .69 based on your feedback (and assuming the new Wolfman razor has the same geometry as the WR-1).

Assuming the same geometry as the WR-1 you'll be fine. I find both of the Wolfman razors to be much smoother than the Slim despite similar blade feel.

Agree 100% . I had a Slim and it was the only razor I've ever owned that I could not use because it was so rough/uncomfortable for me. And I get great shaves from my Wolfman DC standard gap.

My perspective in general is that it's a great thing that James has been a prisoner of his own success, and that he's finding a way to respond to market demand.

One nice thing about the artisans in our hobby is they do respond to feedback. For example: Blackland started out with two handle lengths, which seemed to my taste be to be too short or too long. Handle length is key to the balance of a razor, so it's a big deal. One reason why I refrained from buying one. Now, Shane offers a more medium length handle, as well as offering the head only. No doubt this was in response to customer feedback.

I'm sure if James gets enough feedback on the handle of his new razor, he'll modify it for the better. That's what good craftspeople do.

I am glad someone else said it. For me the Slim is just entirely to rough to use. I have and keep one because it is a birth year razor but I absolutely hate the thing.

I know one surety. If the guerilla loses this fight people will start posting desperate offers to acquire one.

Matsilainen & hughmonstah , thank you gentlemen.

I had thought that if James wanted to keep prices low and have a plentiful stock of things that he would also offer the razor head separately as it is the most essential part of what folks really want.

I completely agree. Perhaps that option will present itself in the future. It would make a lot of sense to me.

I think so too. If he were to sell the Guerrilla head by itself for $100 and have it consistently available, he'll have no shortage of buyers.
And to the member who posted earlier in the thread that Wolfman is a Ferrari, I agree. But even Ferrari has more than one model.

Comparing Ferrari to Wolfman was probably a mistake after this launch. Ferrari would not have done that. They have standards.

What James just proved with this razor is that he can make the ugliest razor of the year and still there will be high demand for it. Well, this is something. Only a few makers can do that. If other makers had shared these photos, the comments would have been totally different.
