Wolfman WR2 Head Discussion

LOOT No way enemy number one - I've learned alot from his posts (here and in other threads) and appreciate the fact that it takes time and effort in all his posts. I'll make it short and to the point. Thank you James

LOOT My sincerest gratitude from the "shim master" to the "wolf tamer". Happy shaves sir

It is incredibly amazing.
Think about you have a company, and
people are getting mad and angry, when you sold your products to your close friends not to them.

Since custom Titanium razors aren’t readily available what experience do people have using a hollowed SS handle. I know that the facial sensation of Ti is smoother but the hollowed SS handle is approximately 30 gm lighter and the difference in heads (SS vs Ti) can’t be more than 10 gm. So how does a hollowed SS Wolfman handle compared to a full-on Ti ?

My WR2 on the WR H3 hallow (90 mm 41 g) feels very light. I even doubted - "Maybe it's titanium?"

I have used a hollow WRH7 to get close to the weight of Ti but when used with a WR2 SS head (33gm)
it makes the razor head heavy...I could not get used to it but some actually prefer it like that.

You either get used to it or not and it also depends which handle because a 90mm WRH3 in hollow becomes 41 gr. For me that's too light. If you order a WRH1 or WRH2 100mm in hollow you're in the low 70 gr which still brings a nice weight to the table. I personally went hollow because 92 gr for the 7 XL is too heavy for me and I did some trials with a close matching lighter weight handle at 56 gr and it worked just fine. Aluminum is the only weight I dislike personally. The Darwin handle weighs 57 gr in solid steel and most people tend to love that combo.

Don't generally like heavy razors and most of mine are 80-90g total, so I'm considering a hollow handle as well.

I was thinking of getting the WRH2, 80mm, 55g. So that would be 28 (WR1) + 55 = 83g. Solid would bring it up to 110g. 

Just a thought... Don’t overthink the hollow handle. A high-end, $50 Tibam or Timeless polished Ti handle, goes a long way toward reducing the weight or changing the balance point of a Wolfman 316L.

Proof of concept: Tibam titanium.
