Wolfman WR2 Head Discussion

Thanks...an inspiring razor writes its own story.

I forgot to add that I junked the Super Nacet and used a new GSB for this shave....lovely blade
although I deduct 2 points for the glue spots.

I need to reprise Dan Law's masterful analysis of Wolfman heads again, as truer words were ne'er spoken.

Where might I find Dan Law's masterful analysis ? Inquiring minds

BTW, thanks so much for the assessment of the shave with that head/gap. The detailed description of angle etcetera is helpful.

I detest glue spots. I don't get it. Especially Feather's, they are caked with glue. It unnecessary.

The GSB is a good blade, but you need the run some Feathers thru that 86 at some point.

Wolfman WR2 v BBS-1 v WR1 Review

Thank you gentlemen!

pork - This is from 5/17 drop  -  before prices were changed ...

LOOT - WRH7XL and it is hollow. Yes I like it (especially lighter weight), but time will tell. Gap is 1.25. Bellow is pic WRH7 regular and this hybrid for comparison.

Congrats, lovely set. Is the standard sized handle on the left a brushed finish, and the larger on the right polished ? Appears that way to me in the photos.

Do you know if James will furnish a stand for the larger handle on request ?

Finally, please update your impressions on the shave with that gap ?

Thank you! Yes, regular handle is brushed and larger one is polished. I used it only for comparison of measurement and shape.

Re: Stand - This is question for James but as you can see on the picture bellow it works with WRA1 very good and I don´t think you need another stand than WRA1.

Re: Update of impressions - Still very impressed and I am in love with this head. I recently sold WR2 .95 which was too mild to my tastes. 1.25 is right choice for me. I am decided to buy 1.15 also although I have BBS-1 which is 1.05-1.15 territory. I found I prefer in smaller gaps WR1 to WR2 and WR2 1.25 prefer to WR1 .80, .86 and .91. WR1 .91 is slightly more efficient but considerably less smooth. For those who like stronger blade feel is WR1 better option.

Thank you gentlemen!

Are you a daily shaver? I'm asking it because I never understand this point (and I don't think someone would need a 1.25 for daily shaves to acquire what he has to acquire: a BBS). Thanks. Petronius

1.25 is the right blade gap for me. I am even thinking of getting a 1.35 SB in SS or titanium next time around.

Thank you for the info on the handle/stand, and the review of the gaps. The comparison with a WR-1, with which I'm hands on familiar, is very helpful. I asked about the larger handle fitting the stand because James' description of the longer handle reads "98mm oversized ( All dimensions larger) So I assumed the diameter would be greater. Glad to hear it's not.
