Wolfman WR2 Head Discussion

Just to be clear, Kehole, are you comparing the 1.05 and 1.15 both in Ti?
Thanks!

Yes sir although I owned and used both in stainless as well. But this was the first time with long term use without rotating in other hardware.

Thanks! Very helpful ... now rethinking 1.15 Ti in favor of 1.05 Ti (maybe 1.05 DC).... I should be so lucky to have a chance to buy one :-)

A while ago, I bought a WR1 head with 0.80SB/0.74OC and it's been just sublime.

Dumb rookie question....when you view such a plate with different gaps on either side,
does one side appear higher than the other? I just can't figure out how he does this.

And why he doesn't offer different gaps on both sides purely in SB or OC (with a mark
to identify them).

It's not dumb at all, however I may prove my ignorance trying to answer....but even if the math is wrong, if you squint real hard, you'll see the point.

I know a little bit about CAD so maybe I can shed some light on that part at least. Although, I've done 3D/solids modeling in the past and never for CNC export, I generally stick to 2D work these days. For small parts he likely uses a program specifically for working with solids, I certainly would. If you think about it all he has to do is generate the geometry for half of the baseplate with the correct gap. Create 1 for SB, 1 for OC...for each gap. The it's just a matter of selecting the correct halves, rotate/mirror and join them to create one solid....a complete baseplate....send it over to the CNC...load stock and wait for plate ready to buff. I've not actually sat down to do the math to figure out how many combinations there are with 8 gaps, 2 halves, and SB/OC options...although if my high school permutation and combinations chapters serves it should be 8x2x2? 32 different models he created, unless I missed something in the math.

He could label the sides if they were both SB or OC...but the labeling just added 32 additional models for him to create and keep up with...maybe more actually. Anyway...if you add another variable you at least double the possibilities. 32 models to keep up with is easier than 64. My guess is this for simplicity.

Apologies to any math geniuses..geni-i? out there.

You answered the how does he do it part pretty convincingly. Thanks

But I trying to understand whether one side looks a bit higher than the other,
due to the uneven gap. If you looked at the plate flat with the bar ends facing you.

I see, good question. I can't tell them apart with the naked eye or with a photo.

The attached picture is a WR2 125 and 135. Let me know if you can tell a difference.

Is that a DC head....I cant tell...looks all SB to me.

Was actually wondering how a dual gapped DC head looked if you viewed it from this angle?

would one side appear higher, is what Im wondering.

All of mine are SB. I get the question but can't provide photos. I did have a Rocnel DE42 that was supposed to have different gaps, both SB. I could not tell a difference by looking at the plate. I doubt you could tell a difference in the WM plates....but, since I can't really answer, I'll sit back watch for other opinions.

Here’s today’s SOTD that shares some thoughts on 1.15 vs 1.05 for me

After a few weeks of consistent back and forth use, I’ve reached the conclusion that for my face, the 1.05 is a more comfortable daily shaver. I can use it every day for weeks on end without any issue. The 1.15 if used daily for more than 3 or so days, I start getting some redness that will last throughout the day in some spots. I am beyond thrilled to have both available as both have their place. The 1.05 is definitely less efficient and it’s noticeable. But for comfort it can not be beat

Good stuff Sean. The 105 is the only one I've tried. 'Spose I should remedy that at some point.

How is the BE treating you?
