Yep, the Wolfman Darwin is only available in 90mm.
Jurgen Hempel makes a Darwin SS handle in one length only at 80mm, it's also a little smoother and more comfortable to hold than the Wolfman version.

The Ti brushed finish is nice however I would have liked my Ti razor to be shiny.
Well not exactly the 'daily shave' I'd intended ... I was too busy, or tired, to shave at 8PM last night, so I took care of it this morning. A 36 hour gap between shaves.
The first shave, yesterday, with the solid WRH3, weighing in at 75 grams, was good, but I felt a bit heavy, so shaved with the Darwin at 57 grams.
Not that the heavier WRH3 handle was bad, but the Darwin was the charm. While it is slick, the flats on differing planes make it non slip, and easy to navigate the razor head.
I used the same Feather (2nd use) and the shave was wonderful. For soap I used a puck of Williams ... I know ... but I like the stuff, what can I say ... I'm easy to please.
As far as any trepidation regarding the aggressiveness of the 1.55, it just doesn't feel like that. It is so smooth it is hard to imagine if you're not shaving with it.
I've never been one to say 'if I could only keep one razor' ... until now ... the WR2 1.55 SB is 'the one' !!!
