So when my turn came up I opted for the 1.20 and I'm glad I did. It really upped the efficiency by a big margin. I have to be a bit more careful and focus but it delivers a smooth, efficient and extremely close shave especially paired with a very sharp blade. With the lower gap WR2 it's pretty much shaving on cruise control for me. I haven't drawn blood or cut myself once with the 1.20 and it's a pleasure to use. I've had a 1.25 on loan and my 1.20 compares to the 1.25 in terms of feel and efficiency as opposed to the 1.15. 
Thanks Max Sprecher - is the difference between the 1.25 and 1.20 perceptible? I have the 1.25 but never tried the 1.20.

I wouldn’t own both. They are too close. If there’s anything detectable to me it’s the slightest amount of less aggressiveness which Is always preferred for my own personal taste. Of course this is all personal because what I find aggressive is a walk in the park for someone with a thick beard or elephant skin.

I was not aware he did custom gaps like 1.20

I think a 1.30 might be an awesome WR2 gap for me in that case (for a daily driver)

James was kind enough to do my ti in 1.1 gap. It's perfect for me. I could decided between 1.05 and 1.15 and James actually offered it to me. Pretty cool.

He must really like you if he built you a copper WR2. Let's see some pics.

Hi have a WR2 1.25 with Darwin handle and it’s amazing! Any thoughts on what that translates to in a WR1? I was considering a .74. Thanks

I finally received my WR1 .94 DC with WRH7 XL hollow handle. Shaved with it Friday and it still amazed me how smooth Wolfman razors are at their highest gaps. I now have all the gaps that I want in WR2 and WR1 razors in stainless steel. I would compare the .94 on the WR1 to my 1.35 or 1.45 on the WR2 side. I sold my .74 DC which was the first Wolfman razor I bought several years ago. I feel like all I need on the WR1 side is the .86 and .94. On the WR2 side, I go from 1.25 all the way up to 1.65 in one iteration or another. I was discussing the smoothness difference between the WR1 and WR2 and I give the nod to the WR2 but not by much. All I would buy at this stage is a titanium, bronze/brass or copper WR2.

The WR1 .74 (mine's a DC) is a great shaver, but IMHO milder than a WR2 1.25. (I've got an OC, and a DC 1.15/1.25 OC/SB) 

I'd say a WR1 in .80, or .86 would be a better equivalent. I'm guessing on the .80 since I've never had one, but my WR1 OC .86 is probably close to even, or a bit more so than a 1.25

IMHO  Shy
