Wolfman WR2 Head Discussion

Sharp_Obsession · 10-13-2019, 09:23 PM

The WR2 is a great head. I have tried the 1.05, 1.15, and 1.25 in SS. I prefer the 1.15 and don't need to try any higher. However, I recently got a 1.15 WR2 in Ti and it is pretty amazing. Absolutely in love with it.

In what way do you find the Ti 1.15 better than the SS 1.15?

Got my WR-2 1.25SB today and used it for the first time. Not a bad shave. But no bbs as I skipped buffing. Looking forward to using it more, maybe with some washers (as shims)as well Smile

Haven't done a head to head, but I found the Ti be extremely smooth. Honestly, the two are probably very similar, but the Ti being lighter gives that traditional Ti feel and "softer" face feel. So the Ti gives the feel of slightly less aggressive face feel with no sacrifice in efficiency. Again, my impressions without a head to head shave.

Nice razor iamsms!

Look forward to hearing more from your shaves...

Is that a bbs-1 handle? Wink

Nah, a TiBam handle.

I shaved with the WRH2 SB 1.15 three times over the last three days. The CG SS L2 and Blackbird are my favorites at the moment and the Wolfman is similar. The overall feel is similar to the CG and a tad less blade feel than the BB but better glide. I am happy I went with the 1.15 gap and not 1.25 however it would be good to try the 1.25 just to be sure. I need more time with it.

I recently had a Titanium WR2 1.45 made and love it but alternate with my equally nimble and beautiful Charcoal Goods Brass L3. I get great smooth and efficient shaves with both with only subtle differences. Many of my other razors are starting to gather dust with these two in heavy rotation.

How would you compare the blade feel to the CG L2?

What blades are you enjoying most on each of these nice razors?
