Polovez I think just about everyone can agree that the Wolfman is expensive and takes a long time to get which is disappointing. But what are you so disappointed about ? Is it the appearance of the Wolfman compared to the Timeless or is it something about the shave that bothers you ? For you how does the Wolfman shave or perform ? I think we are all curious as to why you are disappointed. And remember there are no right or wrong answers here.

What finish did you purchase? What exactly don't you like about it?
How many times have you shaved with it? Is it possible your beard may love a higher gap?
Most people love them.

It’s not clear to me why everyone wants to buy it so much and why such a price at a repeated sale.Polovez , In my experience you have to shave with the razor multiple times to determine if it is 'right' for you. Where it fits in. The last razor I got directly from James was a WR1 .94 DC. I didn't particularly like the shave characteristics.
I like an aggressive razor, but it seemed too much of a good thing. What I did was shave with it over, and over again. Different handles, different blades, trying to find the combination that worked best.
I shaved with 3 days growth, 2 days, 1 day. I shaved with the thing until I came to like it a lot. Yesterday was 2 days growth with a Polisilver (2nd use) and a WRH7 solid handle. I shaved at 8PM and now, at 7AM I can barely feel any stubble on the chin, neck or cheeks.
The shave was smooth as silk and left me BBS for hours and hours ... with no irritation.
So don't be discouraged. Get to know the razor and you may end up being pleased.
OTOH ... if you follow my suggestion, and find you don't like the razor after all is said and done, put it up for trade for a higher, or a lower gap. One thing about Wolfman, you can not only sell it fairly quickly, but there are other guys out there who wish they had a 1.05 instead of a (fill in the blank)

Many thanks to everyone for their help and good advice. 1.05 for me is what is needed. I have all the razors of this level of aggression. Wolfman is a great razor. Great manufacture. I was disappointed that I expected something more. Wolfman's shaving quality is no better for me than other razors available on the market. I shaved only 3 times, with different blades. I will try different options. I don’t understand just one thing. Why is it so hard to buy. The rest are sold freely.
