Wolfman WR2 Head Discussion

I'm sorry and I hope you're ok - with both shaving and COVID! If you should decide you'd prefer a 1.05SB plate & cap (basic polish) I'm happy to discuss a trade

I’m fine, the cut healed fine but I have been using my Trac 2 until it heals a little better. Coincidentally that is what my next Wolfman will be and I’ll sell everything else. ?

I've often said youd have to try real hard to cut yourself with one. From your story it sounds like you went pretty far out of the way to do it! Ha! Here is to a speedy recovery!...and no C19.

Happy Father's Day to all.

Thanks.  Lol. I have been shaving with it non stop since I got it and never had an issue. It was just a weird thing.

Have a COVID test tomorrow morning. Well see how that turns out in a day or two. I have been feeling like crap the past couple of days have been pretty much quarantined since.

Good luck with the test

400 pages and still going...

Anyone getting a single gap? I see lots of orders for dual gaps/combs.

I cannot remember which DE it was, it's been awhile, but I didn't tighten the cap down properly and gave myself a nice cut on the cheek. 

As for the Covid ... how old are you ? If you're relatively young and healthy otherwise, blood type O, most cases are moderate according to Worldometer. 98%, with only 2% serious or critical. I'm 71 years and type A pos blood, so if I get it there'll probably be an estate sale with various WRs coming up ... OTOH, I smoke tobacco pipes virtually one after another, so the nicotine might keep the thing from me. 

Thanks you guys for the support. I’m not worried about myself, mostly for my family. I’m 28.

Update: Second shave with it yesterday morning. This time used a steep angle. Didn't notice a difference in efficiency, still shaves with less efficiency than timeless and blackbird, but super smooth shave. I'm now almost 100% sure I will be going for a 1.25 or 1.35. I think my next turn is coming in about 2-3 weeks (joined the list for the second time in early December), still deciding if I should keep this as a mild WR2 alternative as well.

I don't think anyone with a 1.25 will want to swap for a 1.15 (unless they like milder razors), so a trade is almost impossible. I love my WR2, including its SUPERB smoothness, but I need to buff 3x times as much to get somewhat close to T95 closeness.

Different strokes for different folks. I have a 1.15 OC/1.25 SB DC and the 1.15 shaves better than my Timeless .95. Of course we don't have the same whiskers, so there's that. 

I sometimes have to shave with a razor a half dozen, to a dozen times, before I get the best out of it. Get to know it as it were.

I agree on that, Whiskers are super personal.  In my case, I mapped my neck years ago and the growth pattern is insane, it literally changes every few mms,  so I need a very aggressive razor to compensate for that insane patter on my neck (otherwise, there will always be some hair leftover).

In that case go for the gusto ! A 1.55 SB will dominate your den

I have thought about it!  but don't know if that will be too much of a good thing.  So I'm more deciding between 1.25 or 1.35.   Blackbird level of efficiency is what Im looking for.

A 1.45 delivers the sort of shave you are after. (like blackbird)
1.35 very nice but still not quite there.

Oh man, after your insight I will definitely discard the 1.25 as an option then.  Will decide between 1.35 or 1.45,  this is hard!  I also only shave every 2-3 days.
