Think that was for me. The larger gaps are still super smooth but highly efficient in the WR4. I have gaps .77, .86, .94, 1.20, 1.25 and 1.50. The 1.50 is a bit much but I like all of them. The WR4 is, to me, the best razor James has ever made! Of course, that is just my personal opinion. I have 7 WR2’s in gaps 1.25-1.85, 3 WR3’s and 3 WR1’s that I kept. All in various metals from titanium, copper, bronze, stainless steel and aluminum.
The WRH5 handle has been made only a couple of times by James. It is an extremely rare handle and he says very hard to machine. Because this one was done in Nickel and such a custom razor, I was able to get him to do that one off handle for it. I have only seen one or two others.

george1906 Well that's a heck of a collection of Wolfman's there. I would specifically like to know about the 1.20, 1.25 and 1.50 WR4s. Also what gaps do you have in the WR3s? My name came up on the waitlist a couple of days ago from Tara so I want to figure out how high I can go gap wise and not regret it. My favorite Wolfmans so far are my WR1 in bronze that I have in DC configuration 1.25SB / 1.20OC, and another WR1 in brushed SS 1.10OC / 1.00 OC (I bought this first thinking this was going to be too large but liked it so much I went larger the second order) and my WR2 in bronze is 2.00OC / 1.80SB.

Sorry man, for some reason Tapatalk on my phone does the phantom thing where it unfollows some threads. Weird. Anyway, I would say that I love my 1.25 and 1.20 in the WR4. The 1.50 I prefer with the OC plate but it still may be way too much for most people. I love aggressive razors so I’m good but prefer the 1.25 and 1.20. In WR3, I have a .74 OC, .80 SB and a .86 SB. I’ll be honest, the WR3 is my least favorite Wolfman because of the large head. I have several other GEM razors with smaller heads that shave just as well or better. I will say that James may be redesigning the WR3 some day soon. This is not definite but a possible redesign may be coming. I have a ton of razors from a bunch of different manufacturers and I have not been able to find a better SE Artist Club razor than the WR4 in any gap.

Personally I love the design (and shave) of the current WR3 but that's interesting that he is considering making changes. Do you think that would be a replacement or a second GEM razor in the line up?

I too liked my time with the WR3 and wish I could get one now but need some time. Had no trouble at all with the size of the head...

No idea, maybe a WR3 V2?
