Wolfman WR2 Head Discussion

Just shaved my beard off with the WR2. Here's the video if anyone wants to watch it.

Drew that was quite a growth you took down with a 1.05.

Drew I watched the whole video and enjoyed the takedown of the beard so to speak. Nice shave and thanks for sharing.

Drew, great video Pal! 

You do NOT have to get rid of the 1.05, all you need to do is get a .95 friend for it and it won’t be lonely!

Thanks so much for the support, my friends! I really appreciate you all watching it and I'm glad you enjoyed it too. I've made a bunch of shaving videos before but they're all hidden from being self conscious but definitely going to start doing it again and making them public. I've taken a 3 day break from dome shaving to give it a rest so we'll see how it goes!

Shaved the dome with the WR2 and it went through the growth easily but it's definitely not the smoothest razor I've used which I was hoping it would be, it does shave excellent. Still going to keep messing around with it for a while before trying to trade it cause perhaps I could end up being happy with it.

drewyoshida yep that was an epic takedown, nice whisker whacking shave!

IME different handles, longer, shorter, heavier, lighter can make a big difference. Not to mention blades of course.   So play around with that if you have an assortment to try.

For sure, man! I actually really like the WRH2 handle I find it to be very comfortable and well balanced. I have tried an assortment of blades but perhaps i should get some different ones I haven't tried yet. Good ideas. And I could try putting it on a different handle for the hell of it too. Thanks.

I received my 2nd proceed with order email a good while ago, but for various reasons and stuff going on in my life, have pushed the decision back. Looking at effectuating now. While a cracker both to behold to hold, so to speak, the Wr2 1.15 / WRH7 Std hollow combo doesn’t always get me that clean, friction free shave I’d like. I can manage to get irritation and a weeper or two PLUS a not overly close shave. User error is certainly on the list of potential culprits, I won’t blame it on the razor. Question is, will going DOWN in gap serve me better, or going UP? If going up, I’d probably be going two steps, just to get to a real difference, ie 1.35. I’m a daily shaver for the most part, but my best shaves are always on two or three days of growth.

Thoughts? Have recently been enjoying my Karve, both the D and the F plate, but mostly the latter. Amazed at how smooth such an “aggressive” razor is. No biting whatsoever (unlike CG Lvl3 which I can also enjoy but which certainly demands more respect and care - Lvl2 is smoother there, but the middle point would probably have served me best.)

(Yeah, I know, there’s really only one way to find out...)

Oh, and Drew drewyoshida - that was indeed one impressive takedown. Mowing as a synonym for shaving was rarely more fitting!
