Wolfman WR2 Head Discussion

I’m going to attempt to get a WR2 head on one of these drops. I’m sure I’ve missed it at some point in this thread, but how is the blade feel of the 105 or 115 OC compared to a Timeless 95 OC or Karve F OC (those are my only large gap razors).

I only have Karve E SB, but blade feel of 115 SB is not even close to that. If you want similar level of blade feel, you might have to go for a higher gap.

I have been using my WR2 1.15 SB, WRH2 Hollow 90mm for the last 4 days. I think this is fine for a daily 3 pass shaver - not the most aggressive, not really mild either. I have not been able to get a 100% BBS without some extra strokes though. I found ATG pass a bit less comfortable during first two days, but since then I think I have found a more comfortable angle. I am using Wizamet blades - which I use for 90% of my shaves.

I do get a bit of alum/aftershave sting after my shave with this razor which I am hoping will go away with more practice. So far I am satisfied with the razor, do not have any regret about the purchase, but not blown away either.

I wish I could use my 115 every day. Yesterday was day 3 and at the end of the day before going to bed I got redness on the sensitive part of my neck. Happen like clockwork. I prefer the feel of the 115 over the 105 but it’s just not meant to be for me.

A buddy is sending me his .54 wr1 to try. I was hoping to find a .61 to revisit but this will have to do. I sold all my wr1’s after the wr2 as I found them outclassed by the wr2 but it’ll be nice to revisit this one again.

Happy Sunday y’all.

I'm curious, what razors are in your normal rotation?

I don't follow a strict rotation - but some razors I use regularly - 34C, BlackBird, Charcoal Goods level 2, R41, Fatip Grande, REX, Karve D, Rockwell 6S, GameChanger 84, ATT S1 ... I might be forgetting a few. I had a WR1 0.67 but sold it - was an okay razor, but not great in any way (other than looks)

I also use straight razors or Feather AC razor for 40-50% of my shaves.

I also do not have a preference for Mild/Aggressive razors - I use both 34C and R41 and enjoy them for what they are.

Of your list, I only have experience with the L2 and the BB. They all produce similar results, on my face. I like them all, for varying reasons.

The one thing that helped me most to dial the WR2 in was to use it in total silence. If you listen to it cut and maintain the edge maybe it'll help you dial the angle in? I'm grasping at straws.

You have 3 similar razors. Any one of the three, introduced to the pair, wouldn't knock your socks off....unless the Blackbird came last, and you really like positive exposure.

There was a 61OC on BST for danged close to MSRP. I'd wager that you'd like it.
