Wolfman WR2 Head Discussion

Question - for a dual-gap wr1 or wr2, is there a way to tell which side is the higher gap? Thanks

Good question. Looking at the bottom of the base plate, when the writing is right side up, the higher gap is on top.

I mark the sides of the base plate with a Sharpie marker on the more aggressive side, which makes it quick to identify while shaving.

For such a premium razor that the Wolfman is, there should be a better indication of which dual gap is which.

Hey guys, 2 questions:

1) is it normal for the WR2 top cap and the plate not to fit snuggly, but to jiggle a little when disassembled from the handle?

2) I was under the impression that a plastic washer would be included but mine doesn't have one. Is this the norm?

Thanks!

Out of 3 WRs one is snug, two have a bit of play. Never noticed it before your post.

Never included a washer AFAIK. That's an aftermarket addition.

Happy New Year, gents,

Recently picked up a WR2 @ 1.25 | 80 mm Solid. Four shaves in and great razor, all around. Nice handling, very smooth. Very happy with it. The only issue is it seems too much for my skin and leaves me with a bit of irritation near the end of the shave, most in my neck area, which surprised me. I normally shave every second day.

Regrettably, I think I will need to move to a lower gap, but before doing so, wanted some opinions on whether this should be the 1.05 or 1.15. From reading the impressive collection of opinions here, it seems it would be the 1.05. I've read the .95 has no blade feel whatsoever. If this is true, then it sounds like the 1.05 may be ideal for me. 

Any advise appreciated. TIA!

What razors do you typically use?

I just had my first Wolfman order come up. 

Does anybody know what the blade exposure (or even relative blade exposure) is on the various wr2 and wr1 gaps?

Thanks

Hi!

Normally, I use a Blackbird SB. I also like Karve C and Tatara .63/Neutral Exposure. Most days, though, my BB.

Hi Ali

I have no info for WR2 gaps but have worked out exposure for the WR1. Stopped at .86 as the .80 is plenty for me.

.86 = 0.25mm EFFICIENT
.80 = 0.17mm
.74 = 0.17mm
.67 = 0.10mm
.61 = 0.10mm STANDARD GAP
.54 = 0.10mm
.48 = 0.02mm MILD

Hope this helps
