Wolfman WR2 Head Discussion

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.

It is hard to buy because James Dufour works alone producing them, he is a perfectionist, and when the first mirror polished examples came to the fore they were unique in the quality of workmanship, and they were/are great shavers. 

Word on the shaving forums spread, and more people wanted them than production could satisfy.

FWIW, different strokes for different folks, but Wolfman razors shave better for me than the other available stainless artisan razors I've tried, and that is most of them. Charcoal Goods is right up there with it, but no others. YMMV.

I also wasn't too crazy about the WR2 initially. My feelings were similar to yours. Then I tried a 1.25 and I started liking a lot. Then I tried a 1.55 and it's now my favorite razor ever.
I'm also a big timeless fan (titanium 0.95SB), but my 1.55 is just better for me in every way.
I'd suggest you trade for higher gaps and keep trying.

I wrote to those who write to me in private messages. I did not quote you.

Okay thanks for the clarification because that was ambiguous.

I never saw where he quoted you or even referenced

Just keeping you honest and that doesn't get old.
Now you can move on and I'll do the same.

Why don't you quit trying to pick on me you all.and don't be questioning my honesty please because I've got integrity and honesty and I know that and I'm in charge of it.

Ok

Polovez You are not alone initially I was not that excited about the WR2, thankfully after much trial and error and friends who let me try their WR2 I found the blade gap that worked best for me and now it is one of my favorite razors.

For those of us that don't have friends with Wolfman razors, this is a point of angst. Order and pray you chose the right blade gap. Ah well. First world problems.

Another avenue is this thread, among others. Starting at the beginning, and slogging through to the end. There are many reviews and comparisons given. If a shaver has been at it long enough, and knows some of the other well known razors, and their characteristics according to gap/exposure, he can have a good idea of what will work, and what won't.

For my particular physiognomy Timeless .95, Charcoal Goods Lv 3, Karve F OC, G SB, WR1 .86 OC, and WR2 1.25 OC, or above, is where I like to be.

Thanks. Unfortunately, I haven’t worked through that many (or any of your stated) razors yet, and in many cases the comparisons in threads are lacking critical information on how one shaves and the desired shave result.

Oh well, I guess now I have a reason to go do more first degree “research”.

Timeless 0.95 OC is on my wish list and I would like to try an E or F base plate for Karve since the D is working well for me. Based on what I have read, I have at least 10 months until my spot, so plenty of time to dig myself deeper into this hole.
