Wolfman WR2 Head Discussion

Any Wolfman razor owners that also own or used a Charcoal Goods razor chime in and give your input on how they compare/which one they like better?

Ive parted with a lot of razors lately and the only ones standing on the shelf are a CG Level 2 SB and a WR2 1.15SB.

In my experience, the WR2 1.15 takes everything the CG2 does and dials it up a couple of notches. I agree with JimmyH that the Level 2
struggles a bit with 3 days' growth...for me, the WR2 doesn't. When I receive my WR1 86/80, I will likely pack off the CG razor.

But CG Level 2 is a very special razor....theres been some talk saying it's very similar to the RAW RS-10 aggressive plate.
I much prefer the CG Gen 1 plate as it makes a great sound while scraping hair away. Gen 2 mutes this sound a lot and
some may not like that.

Thanks - what I find so interesting is that the 1.25 OC is the most aggressive option available as a standard order, and yet you're fine using it for your 1st, 2nd, AND 3rd pass!

In WR2 head, the OC side is said to be slightly more efficient while the SB side is slightly smoother.
I prefer the trade off that comes with SB. Having used a 1.15 a lot, I feel I could easily step up to
the 1.25SB and use it daily for all passes... I do about 2 1/2 and some light buffing. Anything above 1.25 would
be overkill for me....only to be used after release from a long incarceration.

i used just the 1.05SB side of my wr2 today. even on 1 day's growth (and my facial hair does not grow fast at all), i needed to flip to the 1.25 oc side for 1 spot that the 1.05 SB wouldn't cut without applying to much pressure. my face needs an aggressive razor

CG LVL 2 is the best razor I own.

WR2 is nice but I prefer Timeless to that and CG to Timeless if we talk only about the shave.

As a physical object (ie wrt how it's made, F&F, etc), the Wolfman is spectacular and is a clear step up from either.

YMMV.

Thanks for posting that info. Based on that if I get the chance I'm going for the 1.15 OC & 1.25 SB on a DC. I've also decided for the WR-7 long hollow handle. Variety is the spice of life

Which WR2 are you comparing? Which Timeless?

Yeah, I was wondering the same thing. I have a .95 SS DC Timeless and I can’t put it in the same class as my WR2 1.25 DC. I would put it neck and neck with my WR1 .74 DC but not above it. Just my personal opinion!

Speaking for myself ... I tried the Timeless .68 SB and it just didn't deliver the goods for me. Yes I could get BBS, but I had to work hard to get it. I sold it and went .95 and it was 'just like downtown.' On my phizzog the CG LV 2 is equivalent to the Timeless .68.

Here's where things get complicated. A Wolfman SB & OC .61 gives me a great shave, as does a Blackbird ... IIRC Shane said they are .58 ? So it is more than gap. This is why it is confusing regarding which WR-2 to go for.

Comparing a .74 and/or .86, both of which I have, to what guys are posting regarding the 1.05, 1.15 and 1.25 ... what to do ? I am not a rich guy, and aside from the difficulty of ordering any of them from James ... being in the right place at the right time ... @ $300 a pop I want to get it right the first time ... I'm going 1.25 DC if I ever get the chance ...

That’s the right choice!! James actually asked me if I wanted to go that aggressive when I ordered my WR2 1.25 DC and I love more aggressive highly efficient razors. I did not hesitate at all! The only razor that has this same efficiency at that gap is the new Rocnel A Elite 2.10. I also have a Charcoal Goods Level 3 DC and it is very close in efficiency but I have to use a PolSilver instead of a Feather with that one to dial it down a bit.

I’m curious about the WR2 OC, but the SB works so well for me and the Razors are so hard to come by that I don’t know if I can bring myself to take a chance on one. I’d love to try a WR2 1.15 OC in Stainless though.
