Good choice! I think you will find the quality of this razor to be excellent here is a couple pics of mine next to my mirror polished Wolfman WR1

That's very nice, Mark. Hard to tell a difference, if any, in the photos. How about in person, they identical?

Mine will be delivered on Saturday. I sold my aluminum version to buy the SS version "C" handle.

Thank You! Just ordered the handle. This is really an awesome razor for me as a daily shaver.
Thinking of doing the same. Any idea the length difference between the previous? .5 or .75" longer?

They are very close James, I have them hanging side by side on my storage rack and they look like they are a matched pair.

How does the shave compare? Which Wolfman is it most similar to?

LOOT from a feel standpoint I would put it closest to the WR2 .95 but from an efficiency standpoint I would say more like a 1.15. It is a really comfortable daily shaver, not in the hyper efficiency level of my 1.45 or 1.55.

Sounds like a fantastic daily shaver. That's pretty impressive.

I've kept a few of my hyperefficient razors but I have settled into looking for smooth shavers that still give me a 2-3 pass BBS but that I can use daily.  The H&S definitely falls in that category.  The WR2 1.45 I can use for 3-4 days in a row but then I dont need a shave the following night and I get thrown off my timing.  So my more efficient razors get used Sunday night after usually skipping Friday or Saturday.

After talking about the H&S NO75 I decided to pull it out for tonight’s shave. Loaded a Nacet blade and with my Polo 14 and CC copper bowl I loaded Chiseled Face cryogen and with 2 full days of growth I had a wonderfully smooth 3 pass BBS shave.

I'm really not a fan of that handle. It is really unattractive. I'm am interested in their razor as it seems they are getting good reviews. My guess is that handle gets pretty slippery to hang onto with such a small zone with knurling.
