Gentleman,
I recently bought a Wolfman Guerrilla. 54, and like it really much.
Thinking that a WR1 would be a great addition to my little collection, I subscribed to the waiting list.
Now my question is, has anyone of you an Guerilla .54 (2023), and an WR1 in a configuration that is similar or near to it?
Is the Guerilla eaven comparable to the WR1 in any way?
You're Input would be much appreciated.

Maybe a little more Input about me.
The razor that works best for me and my face, is my CG gen2 lvl 2 sb brass.
If there is a wr1 that shaves like that, i probably buy two.

So Gentleman.
A good friend borrowed me his WR1 DC .61sb/.67oc head.
What better thing to do, then use it for a shave off.
This was my second shave with the WR1, so there was a little understanding already.
Today I used it on the Guerilla handle, with a Nacet, that was alternated with every pass.

Here the full setup,
Pre: hot shower, with a PAA Cube treatment
Soap: Wholly Kaw Washington's Blend
Brush: Chisel & Hound 26mm Fanchurian
Blade: Gillette Nacet (2)
Razor: Wolfman Guerrilla .54sb/ WR1 DC .61sb/.67oc both Stainless Steel
AS: Williams Aqua Velva
Care: Weleda Skinfood light

This shave was on a face with 3 days worth of growth, and I worked through 3 passes (WTG, XTG, ATG).
The left half of my face was the Guerilla side, the right was wr1 territory (switching between sb, and oc side).

First pass WTG,
The Guerilla did a smooth understated job.
3 days no problem at all.
First pass with the wr1 was on the .61sb side.
To be honest, I did not notice much of a difference to the .54.
They feel and shave very much the same for me.
Second pass XTG,
The Guerilla is just a very good daily shaver, smooth with enough efficiency that, after 3 passes you will be bbs.
Therfore second pass, like the first really good.
WR1,.67oc.
Now there is where it starts to get interesting.
The oc is still a more gentle shaver, but up's the efficiency noticeable.

I didn’t think a 3rd pass necessary, but for the sake of it, I carried on.

3rd pass,
No surprises with the Guerilla.
I like that it has a more tame blade gap, but has ever so slight blade feel.
I don't know if Wolfman stated if there was a small amount of exposure, or if its supposed to be neutral, but I do feel it a little, and like it that way.
With the wr1 I switched sides after every stroke, just for fun.
My preferred choice on this wr1 is definitely the .67oc.
At the end both sides of my face were bbs.

So what did I learn. 
The Guerilla .54 and the wr1 .61sb shave pretty much the same for me.
The .67oc would be very interesting, but I would still prefer a sb version, hoping it's as good as the oc.

At the end though it's still a case of ymmv,
and someone else would have a very different experience.
I for my part can close this chapter now, and order a wr1 with a blade gap that's definitely bigger than a .61, simply because it doesn't feel very different from my Guerilla .54.
