Wolfman order time maybe? Help and suggestions please.

I just don't see the difference or how it would justify a 5-10X the cost. My RR Mamba is polished, blemish free etc and shaves like a dream. Even if it isn't as polished or refined, it's working tool and if you actually use it for it's intended purpose, it will show age over the years.

And before anyone posts a fancy, high res, touched up photo of the polishing or groves on a Wolman, those photos exist of all razors if people put the time into the photo shoot.

That said, I've never shaved with one and have no desire as I was lucky to find my perfect razor for a fair price. I stopped searching long ago.

Careful bub, you're gonna get labeled as a Wolfman hater, like me.

I'm asking myself the same questions as @DesertIguana.

I hesitantly got on their waiting list about six weeks ago, and sold over $300 of my stuff with an eye on a basic polish WR2, .95 gap, with a solid handle...

...and the approximately $360US price tag still made me squirm a bit.

With the price increase, I think I'm out.

I can't imagine that a Wolfman (or any other high-dollar razor) shaves any better than my $65 Razorock, or even one of my $10 Gillette Techs.

Short version:

I likely would have purchased a Wolfman at the old pricing, mainly out of sheer curiosity, and knowing I could sell it for what I paid...now, I'm far less interested.

Thank you James, for bringing me to my senses.

You could get a couple restored and shave-ready vintage straights at that pricing - j/s

Sadly, I've got several restored straight razors and a bunch (15?) of others that are sharp enough to shave, but unfortunately I've yet to figure out how to use them.

I can get a great shave from any of my shavettes...SR?...not happening due to my lacking the required skill set and dedication.

It's OK not to be a fan of a product that is successful, personally would not take for FREE ANYTHING FROM, Chic-A-Filet sells. Had one of their Chicken Sandwiches long ago when local Chick-A-Filet opened. My impression was so what, nothing special. But I understand there is cult following of Chick-A-Fillet fans.

I have Wolfman razors in both SS and Bronze. Before purchasing bronze, just be aware that it does patina and if you like shiny things, you'll have to polish it up often. Also, the smell of bronze isn't pleasant, at least for me.

I'm a big fan of the Popeye's Chicken sandwiches and, KFC is pretty good too! Chick-fil-A is probably a great option too but, they are a bit few and far between.

Well learned something, never notice SMELL with Brass or Copper things, but as I live with runny nose. Does Brass & Copper smell like Bronze?

 

[ButterfaceX]

I love the smell of metal in the morning!
Note, I do not pickup the smell of brass and or copper. But hey, YN(ose)MV.
Wolfman, Popeye's, Chick-Fli-A..I am confused.
My suggestion...
If you really want it...get it..
You deserve to get, what you want..You are worth it.
Remember, you only die once..
I think, oh wait..

I'm on the list too. For anyone who has tried both, how does the WR2 0.95 gap compare with Chick-fil-A?

Yes that is like their lessor choice option, and significantly more price point, aka CHEAP.
