I use my WR1’s regularly and still enjoy the shaves I get out of them. I recently snagged a Ti WR1 .86 SB, and I get nothing but smooth efficient shaves out of it.

What are the differences between the WR1 and WR2? I feel like Wolfman's website seriously lacks information.

The vibe Im getting overall is that, across the board, the WR2 gaps are lit-tle more efficient and smoother
than the WR1 gaps they directly correspond to. Example:

WR2 1.15 bit more efficient and smoother than a WR1 80

WR2 1.25 bit more efficient and smoother than a WR1 86

It seems that you could add (+0.38 approx) to your WR1 gap to find out roughly what it will correspond to in WR2 gap terms.

Ive been dead set on a WR1 0.94 (which should be equivalent to a WR2 1.32)

I wonder if this makes any sense ...lol

I guess if I had a WR1 head that was different enough from a WR2 head, and I had a purpose for it, I would
use it. Its just too gorgeous to leave on a shelf.

IIRC, I think you have a Ti WR2 1.15 as well as a WR1 0.86 in rotation.

Was chatting to someone who has both these razor gaps in SS... they said the 1.15 "made my 0.86 redundant".

That would kinds scare me off a 0.86 WR1 if i had the 1.15 WR2....so looking more closely at 0.91 or 0.94

Indications are 0.91 will be a little less than 1.25......94 a little below 1.35 (in efficiency)

I know I maybe the odd man out but I prefer my .74 and .94 WR1 for a daily shave or the .94 if I miss a day or 2 to my 1.15, 1.25 WR2

Interesting. I used my WR1 .80 today. It's a great razor. I was planning on selling it, but I think I am going to hang onto it for a while.

I sold my 3 wr1’s after getting a couple wr2’s. Better, smoother shavers by quite a margin for me.

The wr1 is a better looking, better balanced razor. But, on the face the wr2 is superior by quite a margin for me.

All of this is very subjective, but I find the WR2 1.15 a touch less efficient than my WR1 .86, and a touch more efficient than my WR1 .74, so I would guesstimate it’s close to a WR1 .80.

I think you’re looking at this all wrong. These are functional pieces of art with fit and finish to the highest standards. These Razors put a smile on my face every time I use them, and give me great shaves every time. I appreciate the designs, and I appreciate all the work that went into creating them. I have a couple WR1 .74’s that I love as daily drivers as well as the WR2 1.15. For a couple days growth I have a WR1 .86 or a WR2 1.25. I love how nimble the WR1 is, and I love how smooth the WR2 is. Redundant? Maybe. But I enjoy each of the designs both in form and in shave. If you can justify it to yourself for any reason that you “need” a different blade gap or model, then I think you’re on the right track  Big Grin !

If you were after just one Razor to rule them all and as a daily Shaver, I’d either get a WR1 .80, or a WR2 1.15.

I’m hoping to add a .80 SB in Stainless at some point, along with a WRH3 90mm Handle. I bet she’s a great shaver, enjoy!

There couldn't be a better argument to get both Smile
