amazement is one way to put it... the other is........
not sure if i told you but i have had two previous attempts with the 1.25+feather combo and neither worked out well for me. Was riding the cap and got a few weepers (which i never get anymore) along with quite a rough feeling shave.. I was never going to attempt that again.
but you certainly guided me well with the 1.25 so with ya recommendation and the positive result with the rapria, thought why not..
This combo is amazing, without doubt the best shave i have had with the WR2 (with any blade) ever. Had the traditional 3 pass shave, with the addition of one extra ATG just on the face. Super smooth, very comfortable, no weepers, no burn, super close shave. I am a convert and will preach this news to others, who knew that the angle would make that much of a difference,night and day
thank you very much kind sir!!

So glad to hear that, my friend!!
Wednesday’s Shave
Going with GD Amare Soap today. The brush was my Yaqi 28 mm synthetic. The razor was my Wolfman WR 2 SS SB 1.0 5 with a Personna Med Prep blade. After a four-pass shave, I used cool water to remove any excess lather. I then applied Thayers Rose Petal WH followed by L’Occitane ASB. The fragrance today was Yves Saint Laurent.
Trusty WR1/WRH2 handle with a Personna lab on day 5: BBS!! Simply lovely!! 
And so it is... a great WR2/Feather pairing today.
You have exquisite taste, Hedy.
A heretofore unpublished shot of the Otto Carter Wolfman WR-1 OC and stand for Wolfman Wednesday. Good things are worth waiting for. In this case ~2 years for the razor and another 8 months for the engraving work.

It’s HEDLEY.
Oops ... Tom beat me to it!
"Don't correct me!"
Oops...wrong Mel Brooks movie.
I never tire of seeing this amazing set up!
Thanks Hedey!
Sorry, couldn't resist.This one is not mine but is what got me hooked. Another Otto Carter enhanced Wolfman. Seeing it set me on a path I could not stray from. I believe it was featured here at B&B a few years ago.

Gents ... I traded my beloved WR 1.25 SB for a WR 1.55 SB. I just felt compelled, in part because of endorsements from guys I trust (looking at you, @loot ). Tonight was its inaugural shave.
I had previously shimmed my 1.25 to some very high levels, and I suspected that this 1.55 would still provide a smooth shave. It sure did.
I paired the Wolf with a fresh Polsilver SI, and opted for the Soft Heart Diamond from B&B — a soap base and AS that has become a real favorite of mine lately.
I hated to part with my solid WRH2 handle, but I had to do it for the trade. What I got in return is no slouch — a solid 90mm hybrid 3/7. The razor has nice balance. It’s certainly shinier than the H2 because of its lack if knurling on most of the handle.
The first pass was familiar Wolf — audible and smooth — with just a bit more blade feel than the 1.25 gap. Just a bit. Nowhere near R41 or Ikon Tech levels, and even less than CG L3, in my opinion. I felt very confident with it, and the first pass was sublime. Second pass (XTG) was just as smooth, but less audible, which means that the first pass was wickedly efficient. The trouble spots under my chin were tamed after both passes, and no third pass or cleanup were necessary. But I decided to open up the throttle for an AGT pass on my cheeks alone so I can gauge how long this BBS will last through tomorrow. This will determine whether the 1.55 can be my daily driver, as I do shave every day.
In summary, an absolutely perfect shave with this 1.55 Wolf. Glad I made the trade.

Yes! Glad you enjoyed it, Dan. I'm hoping you can 2 pass it daily. I ran it daily for for a week. Toward the end I just did 1 pass. Easy BBS on the face and jawline. My beard map requires too much attention to do well in 1 pass but with practice prolly could get used to it...and leave enough stubble for tomorrow.
You could always use it 2 or 3 days a week and give some less efficient razor get some work too.
You done good on the handle too! You know I am a huge hybrid fan. Totally custom too. He doesnt seem to do a whole bunch of them.
Excellent score. Looking forward to hearing how you adjust to it! Congrats brother.
