Wolfman WR1 equivalent to WR2 1.15

[Gilf187]

I'm looking to get the equivalent of the WR2 1.15 OC or closest thing in a WR1 because I want to try out the smaller head. I see varying responses on this in my searches and nothing definitive so figured I'd get the expert opinions over here. Thanks in advance for any responses!

I reckon a WR1-OC .61 or .67

I owned a WR2 SB 1.15 and could never get along with it - it was just a touch too aggressive for me to get a clean shave without "incident".

I own a WR1 OC .74 (coupled with a hollow WRH1 handle) and really, really like this razor. A great shave, everytime.

Could be the geometry of the WR2 doesn't work for me, so these types of recommendations need to be personally evaluated, crowd-sourced, etc.

Boti Ti is a clone to the WR2. Gap 1.15 exposure .15 the head alone cost $65 delivered. Great shaver. Mine is attached to a Timeless Ti handle.

The Boti head is fairly small and still covers the end tabs. Weight about 17 grams

WR1 0.80 will get you in the space of a WR2 1.15

For me the WR1 0.74 SB is the ‘cat’s pajamas!‘

I did not get on well with the WR2, but that’s me. The WR1 and WR2 are very different razors IMO.

Thanks so much for all of the responses

The important thing is to know that WR1 will have a much more pronounced blade feel with the same efficiency, think about this aspect too.
WR1 is always less smooth than a WR2
The final choice remains up to you, friend

I have a WR1 .74 OC and a WR2 1.15 OC and find they are very similar in efficiency. Maybe because my WR2 1.15 is an open comb but the blade feel is greater than my WR1 .74 OC. I haven't tried a WR2 SB but from reading reports on here, people find the WR2 SB smoother. I am on the waiting list for a WR2 1.15 SB.

I've got a WR2 1.15 OC too so that's a perfect comparison for me. Thank you!

I have a WR2 1.15 SB, WR2 1.15 OC and a WR1 .80 OC. They are all quite comparable. The WR1 .80 OC is the quintessential open comb razor for me. I have owned and used literally dozens of OC razors, and the .80 slays them all. It is the only modern OC I use now. And I use some vintage OCs but they don’t perform like the .80.
