Quick shave report, for those interested. Today's shave pitted the WR1 .94SB on hollow 7XL handle vs WR2 1.45SB (the first) on solid 101mm WRH1. Both razors fitted with fresh GSB's.
On the first pass, the blade feel was very close. After that, the WR2 loses 75% of it's blade feel. It's still there, just not as prominent. I'm a guard rider. It works remarkable well for me. The 1.45mm is easy to rotate a couple of degrees and completely lose the blade. Then again, all of my WR2's behave similarly.
Both razors have great audible feedback. The 94 was slightly higher pitched.
After the first N to S pass a quick face feel...not even close. The 145 cuts closer and leaves skin smoother, even an hour post shave. I would keep an eye on regrowth but I'm sure both sides will still be clean at bedtime. Both are excellent razors, but for me, the WR2 is by far the more comfortable shaver.
I asked the max gap question for the WR2 and didn't get a specific answer. I do know for fact there is a 1.55SB SS on order, in which the owner asked for max gap and is getting the 155SS. It is the first. I also know there is a 1.55SB on order in titanium. It is most likely the first 155 in titanium, I'll have to review Mr. DuFour's books to confirm, but I'm relatively certain. I'll let you know how it shaves when I get it in hand.
