Thanks for the feedback and suggestions guys. I've tried around 10 different blades, it still feels too rough on my skin sadly. Can't use it for daily shaving so I'm going to try trading it for a Raw Shaving RS-10. Probably should have went with the .95. Wish me luck thanks!

Did you get the solid handle? I find the handle makes a difference, you might consider trading for a hollow handle first?

The WR2 needs a sharp blade. I tried a Voskhod with mine and it was horrible. It’s the smoothest razor I’ve ever used with a Personna lab blade.

In my experience, if you aren‘t getting on with a 1.05 wr2, you can forget the Raw A-plate.
Have you tried the WR1 head? Contrary to popular sentiment, I much prefer this design and find it to be considerably more intuitive.

Hate to hear you are having issues with the WR2. My suggestion would be to run a sharp blade, like a Feather, and ride the bar. Get that handle pointed toward the floor. Worth a try before you get rid of it.

Maybe add a Paradigm Diamondback 2020 to your trade list. I've heard from some that it feels like
you're shaving without a razor. I don't dig that stuff but you may like it.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm considering scrapping the idea of getting the RS-10. I had the .61 WR1 before and wasn't a fan of it. It tugged really bad for me no matter what blade I used.

The feather was pretty smooth in it. The WR2 definitely can feel nice but I had irritation from it from daily dome shaving. It works through growth like nothing though. If I only shaved a couple times a week I'd definitely keep it. But sure I'll try playing with the angle a little more and see if that makes a difference. Thanks for the feedback.

Definitely considering the Diamondback! I've heard it's fantastic and have been wanting to try it for a while. Thanks.

Maybe just stick to the Masamune and the Silversmith?
