I'm kind of new here, but not new to wet shaving. My first Wolfman order came up and I've been trying to determine, like OP, what head to order. I am leaning towards the WR1 with the .94 gap, open comb, but I am also tempted by the WR2 1.65 gap OC. From what I gather the WR1 is a bit more maneuverable, which sounds nice. Any other thoughts from forum participants. I prefer very efficient/aggressive razors, if that wasn't clear.

If you didn't try any blad gap under the Wolfman don't judge any of the numbers you read about as if it will work with you.

For me the Timeless Ti OC 0.95 worked well and gave me an excellent clean shave quality, let call it Quality 1.
In wolfman I started with WR1 Sb 0.74 which was gentle and efficient shave, then I went to OC 0.86 which met my needs for the blade feel and gave me an excellent clean shave quality , let call it Quality 2.

From this point I felt that I need just a one step more of blade feel to be satisfied, so the OC 0.95 will be the gape that suits me well.

If I ask myself which aggressive gape gave the better shave quality 1 or 2?
I like the result of both and each of them has its own wonderful quality and character, which let me change technique and enjoy the taming process.

Regarding the WR2 I don't have enough experience, maybe some members will give you a better advice, but 1.65 oc is a big number.

The 165 is going to cut a heck of a lot closer than a 94. On my face, a 94 is closer to a 135. The only things the 94 has over the 165 is head weight and maneuverability. Neither bother me. The 165 is the superior tool, for me.

I appreciate the opinions and observations. I think I am going to go with the 1.65 WR2 then. I've really been back and forth and, again, appreciate the help.
