Wolfman WR2 Head Discussion

I paid up on Tuesday.  I also requested info for  titanium, brass or bronze options as they become available. Hopefully the backlog becomes manageable enough in the near future for James to entertain these requests.

 and received and paid the
Invoice on the May 13 so 5 months & 5 days
And exactly 7 days from invoice to shipping
The email includes a tracking number.

I paid on May 14th so, in theory, I might be a day behind you!  Perhaps my shipping notice will come tomorrow.....

And I am just a day behind!  Just got the shipping notification.

I just picked up this wrh2 hollow in basic matte brushed and I love it.   First, I like the weight which is similar to Titanium.  Second, I think the basic brush enhances the grip.  Some time ago I owned a wrh2 satin and I always found it slightly less grippy than I prefer, although it never slipped out of my hand or anything.   This however is an improvement in my opinion. 

Today I used a WR2 for the first time.  WR2s are mostly known as mild razors.  This one however was not.  
With a 1.65 mm blade gap, this was a very aggressive razor.  And paired with a new Feather blade, it took the utmost care to avoid flaying myself.  But with care and attention, I managed to get a nearly BBS shave, in just one pass with the grain.  I also liked the fit of the Darwin handle.  
What did I learn?  1) That the WR2 is probably a superior design to the WR1.  2) I like the Darwin handle.  3) If I ever buy one, it will have a blade gap of 1.25 to 1.35 mm.  4) And the reason I don't own one is $.

Not that it's that big a deal, but if you were to shave your moustache I think you might find the thinner cap of the WR1 lends itself to shaving under the schnozz a but easier. I can do fine with either one, but I do like the nimbleness of the WR1 quite a bit. Not saying it is better, just different.

Why do you think the wr2 is a superior design to the wr1 draebeard ? I like both but probably prefer the wr1.

I also prefer the WR1 in most cases, I find it more responsive and it's an absolute pleasure to use with how nimble the head is. The WR2 is smoother with higher blade gaps, but I also find it deceiving and can leave me with pretty raw skin because I'm not feeling enough when shaving, sort of a double edged sword, pardon the pun.

I have used both the WR1 and WR2 extensively and can’t say I prefer one to the other.

I like both, but I prefer the WR1. I like the nimbleness and the blade forward design of the WR1.

I go through phases....these days I am picking up the Wr1 0.94 for every shave...its that
