Wolfman WR2 Head Discussion

I just had my first shave with the Wr2 1.55 and it went very well. I was able to knock down 3 day growth with ease and got nearly no nicks. I nicked myself on my upper lip probably because of too much  pressure but other than that I had no other problems with shaving. I had a bit of difficulty with loading the blade though. I used a Kai blade and it wasn't aligning perfectly. I'm not sure if that is normal with the wr2 but I would have to toggle it and try to eyeball it then quickly tighten the cap and try not to move the blade. Is that common with the wr2 cap?

No sir. Not normal at all, in my experience. If you lay the cap on its dome and drop in a blade, there should no play in the blade when placed between the 4 posts. Drop the base plate, screw down the handle.

The WR2 is the simplest head to load that I've used.

Ok thank you very much. Then mine is off a bit because there is play when I lay the blade between the 4 posts. I can, eventually, get the blade to be straight but has to be done by eye.

I have never seen a WR2 that is difficult to load. The blade drops right in to the top cap
upside down and the base plate over that and then tighten the handle.

How much play? Pics?

If you are have alignment issues, I'd document with pics and get them off to Tara right away.

Try a different blade just in case? Good luck

Yes the 4 post, first used by James in the BBS1 is brainless to load. If there play, something seriously amiss. Reach out to Wolfman ASAP

Yes, since its my first Wolfman wasn't sure if I was missing something. Thank you for the advice.

What blade are you using in the photo?
