Why not the 0.67?

Hopefully members with the experience of Wr1 vs Wr2 can enlighten further on this dilemma.....
I have the 61 OC and I really enjoy it. I would like a little more efficiency, so I would think the 67 would be a good choice. I’m going to get a WR2 when my name comes up so I can have one of each.

All that said, I plan to get a 1.15 gap to try and will either sell the .95 or 1.15 depending on the shave. Will the increased efficiency of the 115 be worth the extra blade feel? I don’t yet know....

If the GC .86 is what you're after in a WR2, I would say you want a .95. A 1.05 will be more efficient than the GC .86. The 1.15 and 1.25 gaps are really stepping it up.

Yeah, since I have the 1.15, and going to the 1.05 will only be slightly different - then maybe the WR1 .67 OC may be choice to get something very different. I wonder if the folks that have the WR2 have all sold their WR1s.

I cant imagine Wolf owners parting with either Wr1's or Wr2's
My understanding is comparing the 2 is like Apples & Oranges,

We all need 5 a day right?

my view is, if you can handle a T95 daily, you can handle a 1.25 easy

I found wr2 0.95 a lot less efficient than GC 84. Wr-2 is a bit more efficient than gc 84, but results in noticeably more alum burn or aftershave burn.
But since u shave daily with 95 timeless, I guess u can easily go with something more aggressive than 1.15. I am hoping to get a 1.25 as well to check whether these statements of higher gaps being smoother have any merits or not.

This is close to what I am thinking, but think I might want to go higher. I shave daily with a Timeless .95ss. I have the GC .84 but rarely pick it up, more of a travel razor. I have sold the CG Lvl2 and the Blackbird, I really enjoyed the BB and will probably get another someday. On the email form I put 1.25 but now seeing these reviews of the higher gaps, I am contemplating stepping up to the 1.45.

Agreed. A 135 if the T95 leaves you wanting more.
