Wolfman Guerrilla 2023 Version

I ordered the bronze Guerilla and I have a WR2 1.85/1.65 DC on the way in antique bronze. I will sell or trade the stainless Guerilla that I just got when I get the bronze one.  The handle on the new Guerilla is a bit longer which I like.  I had the original SB Guerilla a few years back and sold it once I got the OC Guerilla.  I had traded that one away but got it back recently.  I really missed the OC when I traded it and love having it back.

Hi, how do you compare the shaves from the old and new Guerrilla razors? Is the new one more aggressive? Thanks!

I think the new one is less aggressive than the old one.

Is that even possible?

I have had the new Guerrilla for a week now.  During that time I have shaved with it four times switching back and forth twice with one of the original SB Guerrillas.  All shaves were with the same Feather blade.  I change my blade every Monday regardless of how many shaves are on it.

A couple of things to note.  The new Guerrilla loads the blade on the cap instead of the baseplate and the loading posts are much more pronounced. That in itself is enough to make me like the new design better as I hate loading on the baseplate.  The new design is also heavier and balances more toward the handle than the original design.  Grip is quite good even without any knurling.

I find the new design shave to be quite mild with little blade feel.  Angle is quite easy to find and there is very little blade noise.  For me the new design shaves very much like a good cartridge razor.  It is efficient enough while being very comfortable, you can press as hard as you want with little fear of getting nicked and, if you like to buff to a BBS shave during touch ups, you can do so without irritation.

Compared to the old design, I find the new design more comfortable with less blade noise while also being a lot easier to find and maintain the best cutting angle.

Can you comment how aggressive the new one feels vs. the old one?

The original is milder. I've been testing the new Guerrilla for the past week and the OG feels milder but is no less efficient than the new.

Three days in a row using the new version of this razor. Very happy with the shaves that I am obtaining, smooth but giving close shaves. I would recommend it for those wanting a daily shave with no surprises, hahaha…

Salut!

Sorry for the delayed reply.  Wanted to do a side by side first.  Did that today.  I used new Feathers for the blades and Ethos Vanilla Safi for the soap.  Shave was my typical three pass and i switched sides for the razers on the second pass.  I have had several MOHS procedures on my face and the skin stretching caused by the wound closures makes my beard grow in odd directions under my ears and along my chin line  I like a BBS so I typically buff a couple of places in those areas after the third pass. Shave results were the same as stated above.  Specifically, for me the original design has more blade feel and the new design is more efficient.  The new design is much more comfortable to buff with.

As far as "aggressiveness" that is more difficult to answer as it is subjective.  I associate aggressiveness with more blade feel so in that regard the original design is more aggressive.

Just for reference, my daily driver of late is a Paradigm Diamondback.  I like the handle on the Diamondback better (and it is a LOT shinier) but the face feel is very similar.

Hope that helps.

you guys are evil! i just ordered a bronze.

I managed to find a 2017 version and also tested both. To me the newer one has way more blade feel, but I agree with you it is more efficient. The old version is a pain to load but I prefer it's shorter, more stout handle.

The Guerrilla will have blade gap choices starting around March 15
