Care to extrapolate what my WR1 1.00 and WR1 1.25 would be?
Wolfman: On the waiting list. Questions.
- Thread starter Direwolf76
- Start date
Most of my WR1s are from around 2016-17. The .54 doesn’t feel like a neg exposure to me. And I have a recent DC with a .48 that is no way -0.14 and has more blade feel than the .61 OC side! I don’t think the tolerances are as accurate as we imagine.
Not that it matters as I only use the WR3 now. I’m confident and agree with the numbers for the single edges.
I think the same thing...I had a WR1 0.54 and it was similar to WR1 0.61 I don't think it's negative exposure
perhaps only 0.48 appears to be neutral exposure
WR1 and WR4 are not comparable, certainly different cut and different blade feel given by the type of blade
Theoretically WR1 0.98 = +0.39
They are just certain or measured null hypotheses
After that, I'll get on the list for a WR4.
Well the Wolfman product looks sort of interesting, but in the Yesar or so I have been on B N B, there is less Wolfman talk. Maybe demand is now keeping up with supply. As far a Non Aggressive, verses, Aggressive everyone face, and beard is different. Plus change from time to time like the season, so I think it would be tough to pick a perfect Wolfman, and could be costly mistake. JMHO.
I was going to pm you about that WR4 1.20OC and 1.25SB you saw somewhere else, as I don't want to break any forum rules here. Says you are not receiving pm's from unkown users. I'd like to read about what that user thought about said razor.
1.35 isn't a bit more efficient, but it's more efficient...I compare it to Blackbird levels
Think about a custom 1.25OC/1.35SB it might be a great idea
Its interesting how we perceive blade feel differently. My WR1's .67 and .74 with .1 and .18 blade exposure have way less blade feel than my WR2 1.15 which should have 0 blade exposure according Wolfman's numbers.
Are you referring to me?! I can't receive PM? I have to change something then...I didn't know
I only read about the purchase but I have no feed on shaving
I had and sold a WR1 0.67, kept the 0.74
I had sold a 1.15 and I didn't feel the blade at all, I preferred the 1.25
@Balin I've tried the .48 twice and both felt completely different btw.
One was much milder than the standard gap and the other is the mentioned DC I need to revisit at some point. I've kept my older .61-67-74 OCs. If I had to sell all the WR1 gaps except one I'd keep the .61 OC... I bought this gap several times.
Never really got on with the WR2 so didn't really explore the various gaps like I did for the WR1 and WR3.

My .67 OC is in SS and my .74 OC is in bronze so I kept both
. They feel pretty much the same to me, but the regrowth on the .74 seems to be about 2 hours later than the .67.The WR2 are a different beast for me too. I was planning a 1.15 SB but ended up ordering the WR3. I can't wait for it to arrive!

I did find the other forum about the 1.20OC and 1.25SB but like you said there was no report on the shave just pictures, which they had on a WR5H handle I've never heard of or seen before. Looks great the large gap WR4 and the handle!!!
Earlier in that thread there was someone that bought a 1.50 WR4 through one of James auctions but forget if they said it was one of those aluminum prototypes as a test to see if he was able to take off enough metal to make a 1.50 gap on the WR4.
Yeah, I tried to send you a message but it wouldn't let me.

And that razor is solid Nickel...
James used to make WRH5 and WRH6 handles, variations on the pineapple/WRH4 handle.

Yes, I think like you...WR1 seems to have more or less the same efficiency, the difference is noticeable in the hours of regrowth
I didn't know, sorry... I have to change something in the settings it seems
That's right him...in the end I think a wr4 1.20 could be fine for you
Yeah still waiting on the Hawk V3 I bought from @Eben Stone. Last update earlier today says it made it to Atlanta, so a few more days and I'll have my first AC razor experience. Any idea what the Razorock Hawk blade gap is? I searched and didn't find any numbers.I didn't know, sorry... I have to change something in the settings it seems
