Wolfman WR2 Head Discussion

A couple of days ago, I sold a WR1 94OC to a fellow DFSer.  Turns out he is two months into his wet shaving journey.  I'm not sure what razors he has...but he did tell me he used a Game Changer 84 in an effort to get ready for the 94.  I've not used a GC84 so couldn't really advise.  I will say tho, two months in with a 94OC is seriously jumping in with both feet.  I'm sure I would have filleted myself two months in.  It is going to be interesting waiting on his shave report.  With any luck, he follows this thread and will share his experience.

I purchased a WR1 DC 0.94 from James in his last drop before the google form system began. I've been shaving since 1963 or so, and wet shaving as we know it since 2007. 

Had WR1 0.74 and 0.86 for some years, but had a helluva time getting used to the 0.94. I don't know what it was, I couldn't get a satisfying shave with it for a while.

The shaves were BBS, but somewhat harsh. So I kept shaving with it day after day until imperceptibly I began to get completely good shaves out of it.

By that I mean not only BBS, but comfortable, enjoyable, and satisfying shaves. If you were to ask me what I did differently I couldn't tell you.

I just began to intuitively (apparently) know how to manipulate this particular razor.

My Ti94SB was like that for me.  Dunno why that particular razor, of them all, perplexed me so for so long.  I wanted to like Feathers in it but a smoother blade got me to really got me to appreciating  the head. Now, I rarely run Feathers in anything.  I'll take a smoother ride and if I want to eek out a little more performance, I'll get a different razor....or simply open the valve and get to work.

The blade may have had something to do with my early problems with the 0.94. Though I was hesitant to try them, the Wizamets have become my favorite blade in any razor I've run them in.

I am finally chiming in on this one and I think he may have bit more than he can chew. I have a .84 GC Jaws and I find it pretty mild. I applaud him for going that high in gap though. If he was jumping in with a WR2 1.25 or even a 1.35, I would say cool but a WR1 OC at that high gap may bite him. We shall see and looking forward to his take on it.

I received a Shipping Notification for my 1.55 SB WR2 today. Tracking says it should arrive by the first of May, fingers crossed.

Congrats on the new razor, Hunter. Keep us posted on how it works for you.

Very exciting! I used mine the other day and was blown away by its performance all over again (I had not used it in a long time). Without a doubt, my number 1 razor ever.

Oh Man, I was already excited, but after hearing that kind of high praise I’m really looking forward to it!

Anyone have an idea where James is on the waitlist?

Thank you, that's just what I was looking for.

I love my stainless 105 sb.  Sort of like Goldilocks, I tried both the 95 and the 115 before settling on the 105 as my daily driver.  Very comfortable and great 2 pass results for me.  The handle is a solid 3/7 hybrid with the knurling from the 3.  It is awesome too.  This is the basic matte brushed finish for this workhorse.
