I'm waiting in a relaxed manor for the 3rd Invoice this month from 9/6
Wolfman for Xmas...

I have also shifted gears to a patient mode waiting for the coveted 3rd email. If it doesn't come before Thanksgiving, than maybe before Christmas. Worse comes to worse I'll have a 2020 WR2 if my number doesn't come up before the new year. 

Shipping notice received on the 9th Nov. Expected delivery here in Australia 27th Nov.

Wow... Nice to know you are getting a Wolfman but that wait on the shipping is crazy. Never knew it was that long to ship to Australia!

+1 there...
It's on it's way Nico......out of the workshop...great news....
Only half a world away now......

Thanks guys,
27th is an ETA, could arrive sooner. As a logistics officer myself I know there are a lot factors in play here. Most international parcels have to travel domestically on different modes of transport. Getting parcels on a flight internationally, add International customs inspection/clearance , transfer between carriers, etc, all adds ups. Unless you are using a premium service this is a reasonable time frame.

JimmyH  let me know what part of the technique you end up adapting and your experience. I am interested in learning how it works for others; even if only parts of it is being used.

ScientificShaves  Henery, I'm doing a bit of a scientific experiment of my own, albeit a very subjective one, unless I can get others to join in ... I'm trying to see if Christopher Bradley's assertion that an OC is equal to one blade gap higher than the corresponding SB. He (Karve Shaving) says this on his website somewhere, relative to the F OC plate equaling a G SB plate.

I'm only 2 shaves in on my little experiment, and on todays shave I incorporated your X pattern to the best of my understanding of the technique. So .... I don't think I've ever had a closer/smoother shave.

I used a WR2 DC 1.15 OC/1.25 SB with a new Wizamet and MDC for the lather. I tried your minimalist lather approach and I don't think I achieved that, but the X pattern was really effective.

As for the OC versus the SB ... hard to say ... it seems to me the 1.15 OC performed as well as the 1.25 SB, but I don't know if that would classify it as equal. I need to experiment with a few other heads and see what I think.

JimmyH in response to your statement about OC vs SB Matt from Razor Emporium gave a good explanation in one of his latest YouTube videos and if my memory serves me right I believe it was brought up in his review of the Russian Start razor. You might want to check it out.

Thank you Dragonsbeard. I wish he would have spent some more time with the comparison, but he definitely found the OC of the same gap as the SB to be closer. ... now ... where can I buy one of those Homelike Start razors ???
