What's strange is that it's not even much over retail. I'm surprised it's still available also.
The quickest way not to have people flipping for huge profit is to actually have product for sale. Paladin also learned this.

I ordered a WR2 DC with 1.15 on both sides in
Basic polished & WRH2 hollow handle.
That should be a real nice  one Weekly, and I'm  curious to know how you like the handle.

Thanks keto
I thought about the handle for about 10 minutes 
Since I like too keep a razor's weight under 100g
It was a pretty easy decision.

On my WR2 drop I went with the WRH7 long hollow. I was apprehensive that I wouldn't like it, but it is fine. I also like a heavier handle. I think the best is a WRH2 90mm, but it is not as aesthetically pleasing as the 7, the 3, or even the 1. The 1 is second best ... IMHO

So, my name (finally - woo hoo!) came up and I received the ´proceed with order´ email yesterday, having signed up 8 Sept. I´m set on a WR2 SB 1.15 but not sure about handle. My experience with WM handles is limited to a WRH2 90mm (with a WR1 OC .74), and I find this quite heavy. It depends on balance and other dimensions, and I do think I have some razors that in fact are quite heavy yet still feel lighter than their numbers in grams should indicate, but generally I think I gravitate toward lighter handles.

And here´s the question: I´m eyeing a WRH7, also in 90mm. Will a hollow version, weighing only 40 grams(!), throw the balance off, and should I rather go with standard/solid weighing in at 72g? Somehow I have a hunch that the hollow WRH2 at 64g would be the ideal weight, but I kinda want the 7. Or the 7 hybrid..

Any advice to offer this bewildered, indecisive soul? Has anyone tried the hollow WRH7? Will it be akin to a Ti handle?

(Apologies if this has been covered here or elsewhere; no luck from searching.)

I think you'll really like that wait. (Edit: weight thanks to Google voice to text) and I'm thinking about doing the same thing with a WRH7

I love the 7 most of all for looks, but the 1, or the 2 for utility. The more aggressive knurling is my friend. I like the look of the 7 and 3, but the smooth surfaces make shaving more of a chore. YMMV. Congrats on grabbing the brass ring !

Hey guys so I have the wolfman WR1 and it's a beautiful razor the lupo ss shaves almost exactly the same as it does though they seem to have the same exact blade gap, exposure, angle and all of that. The lupo is more rounded in design and not as nice looking of course or as high quality. I bought some flitz liquid polish and flitz premium microfiber cloth. I tried buffing the scratches out without much luck but it does look even shinier! The mirror polish is remarkeable. Any tips/advice for making it look as clean and new as possible?

Is this the psychological effect of the google form insuring the end user that all things comes to he who waits ?


I’ve been eyeing a Wolfman since I started this hobby in 2014. I just think they are a lot more options now, more growing every year. Use to just be Muhle, Ikon, and Wolfman really, now there are countless razor makers.

Wish I had bought a BBS1 back then, they were “too rich” for my blood. Now I look at the prices and shake my head at myself.

Stinking Google voice to text always gets it wrong
