Wolfman WR2 Head Discussion

Suspect he is enquiring if there a delta in blade exposure as well as gap. Having owned from 0,48 thru 0,74, cannot state with any certainty although rotating between 0,54-0,67 on a weekly basis, my guess is that those razors only differ in gap.

Yes, this is what I am trying to discover. Does the exposure change with the gap. For instance the .48 and .54 - do they have negative or neutral exposure? I'm imagining the standard gap is around neutral? I did write to the Wolfman himself and Tara said that James doesn't share that information and to check in with DFS for advice.

This post here is the best I could find searching through this voluminous thread ;

IF I had to guess, would suggest slightly positive but would be lying if stating it with any degree of certainty. Would measure but wouldn’t trust it as don’t possess the correct metrology instruments for accuracy

Thanks JimmyH for digging up that post

Load a blade in the razor. Lay the safety bar on a mirror. Roll the head and see if the blade hits before the top cap. You should also be able to hear the blade click, if there is positive exposure.

Agreed re Determining whether neutral or positive, meant quantifying how much if positive and not inclined to extrapolate angles to derive how much

I did find this online, however it is old information and James may have changed the specs now:

"So the standard design in inches is a .024" blade gap (.61mm) and a few customers have gotten a .005" increase to .029" (.74mm) and on this razor according to my personal blueprints for each .005" change in blade gap it will add or subtract .003" in blade exposure (that imaginary line tangent to the cap and guard). So you're getting .003 more blade exposure if you go with the same increase others have gotten."

Just need to figure out the exposure of the standard gap.

OK shall do the mirror test tonight

I think the standard gap wr1 is neutral exposure, but I’m not 100% positive.
