Wolfman WR2 Head Discussion

How much heavier is it than the standard HR7? based on the site I don't see it in Ti, just in SS

I only have the Ti one...if Im not mistaken, it weighs exactly 50gms.
SS is 92gms.

So the WRH7 XL you have is Ti?
I only see the regular size on the site offered so James must have done a custom for you. Nice! The SS version at 92 grams sounds like a heavyweight and to much for me. I've got the regular HR7 in Ti and I also had it in SS and I enjoyed both. A larger sized HR7 in Ti would be great as I had a member send my a stork copy of the HR7 in Ti and it was bigger than my HR7 Ti but it felt really good in hand as it was a tad longer but it was a bit wider which I liked so I'm assuming your;s being bigger may be similar to the Stork. I won't buy the Stork and put one on a Wolfman razor. It's a copy and just doesn't sit right with me.

I've got a Ti 7XL...and at least 2 7xl based hybrids in Ti. I dont think hybrids are on the official menu either so handles can be confusing. I think somewhere a couple pages back I posted pictures and weights for all of the variants I had at the time.

Any handle, sans Darwin, can be XLd (increased dia.). I think i had an email exchange with him on a Ti Darwin handle. I'll have to dig it up.

The Ti 7 XL looks good. I like the idea of extra width and the Hybrids are real beauties as well. Is the Hybrid a combo of the HR3 and HR7? If so that's a really nice combo I would have never thought of. I should have done some research on the handles before ordering this last time. I knew the HR2 is a good shaver and just went with it. Looking at the Darwin next to the others it does look pretty short and I better use Marks before going all in on one if I can even find one.
Thanks for the info!

Ime the Darwin is best paired with a wr1. The Wr2 head was a poor match from a balance standpoint for me. It’s a stunningly unique and practical handle.

The Hybrid handles confuse me too, still.  Yes, they are based on the 3/7 combo.  Where they differ is the base handle you start with. Mine are all based on the 7XL because I specifically ordered them that way. I think the others get their length from either the 3 base or the 7 base.  So, there would be 4 different hybrid handles total.  Then you can select either knurling....if you get very lucky and he is in the mood, as you just found out with Ti.  Sometimes persistence pays off.  What he grants and doesn't can seem whimsical.  Never hurts to ask.

Thanks that was a big help! The one that really stands out to me after looking them over is the WRH3/7 Hybrid 7XL based 98mm. I'm going to email James right now but as you said it's a hit or miss on whether he'll make it at this point seeing that my order is confirmed and paid for and as he said in his email he has a list a mile long but hey like you said doesn't hurt to ask.

Ask for an additional handle, if he's already made it. I'll buy it off you ifn you dont want it. 7xl Hybrid is the best handle I have...so I have two. You could easily sell the extra handle and he really isnt out much.

Glad I checked in and saw your post before I sent him an email but  I'll message him right now and see if he will sell me an extra handle.

Thank for the advise!


Message sent! Just gotta wait and see if he responds. Probably thinks I'm a PITA asking him all these questions. LOL

Ha! I'd hate to be in his shoes. You know every razor comes with 10 time consuming emails.

You know what they say about the squeaky wheel tho. Good luck.

Not mine! I confirmed my order (one email), paid my invoice, and sat back and waited for my beautiful razor to arrive. Boring ole’ me.

Nope. Bought 4 (or is it 5/6) wolfman razors directly from him. I asked him to change the bladegap once. Other than that, no email from me. Maybe for everyone like me there is someone who was 20+ questions.
