Wolfman Guerrilla 2023 Version

Any surface, if polished and against another surface - will create less friction than the same surface not polished. This is a fact. Soap is a lubricant and assists with friction but fact remains, a polished surface creates less friction, less resistance. This is science, not an opinion.

Try dragging your finger across a mirror or a glass. And then try draggin a wet finger across a mirror or a glass.

On the polished surface, the friction decreases up to certain limit but increases beyond that, as the irregularities are cut off but beyond a certain limit the surface molecules exert strong attractive forces on each other.

So probably, the ideal surface for shaving is something that is neither too highly polished but also not too coarse.

Totally agree, a perfect smooth surface will create resistance when weather fills the gaps between surface and cavities in skin, the importance of shaving soap is very high, tha is why taking a pass in an area without soap is like skiing graft.

Not angry at all,
but your "simple science" has never been proven by science, definition, or any other means... I do realize and respect that it is of your opinion, but again, never been proven by science!

Is it a fact, though? Polishing also makes the surface flatter, which increases the surface area in contact with the skin, and friction is proportional to surface area. I don’t think it’s as simple as you claim. The way a surface behaves is surely affected by many factors. Consider how far a golf ball travels due to the vortices the surface shape creates to reduce effective surface area and friction.

Anyway, in practical terms does it really make a noticeable difference? I’ve never really noticed much difference either way, and certainly not enough to matter to me. The only razors that caused a big difference for me are ones that create a suction effect, like the Henson - they must create a vacuum, somehow, in certain conditions. I don’t think drag has ever been an issue with any razor I’ve used. There are razors that glide exceptionally well, but I think more to do with the head shape (i.e. surface area) than the type of finish.

I agree, soap is essential, a fully polished surface will stick to the skin without lubricant.

I wonder whether he will release BBS-1..
Maybe next one Ti, Bronze, Copper BBS-1??

Personally, I hope not. For me, the BBS1 head is too light. Makes the razor razor handle heavy...even if I could get it in a bigger gap. I think the WR2 is the best the design is gonna get.

I didnt like the guerrilla...at all.

I would much prefer James concentrate his efforts on something new....an adjustable.  At least a new 3 piece head.

Guerrilla OC was nice efficient razor with mild feeling. Although $200 looks reasonable for a Wolfman, you can get Lambda razor for that price. 

He needs to bring something new and fancy, if he wants to keep his fame alive.

Agreed. Those Lambda razors are a great value. Love them both.

Still waiting for that WR4. Has anyone heard anymore on that front?

Oh and that brass BBS-1 when it gets auctioned.

What happened to the auctions? I musta missed a bunch

James has paused them but they will be back according to Tara

I got one of the first 2023 Guerillas and it should be delivered sometime next week. I am underwhelmed so far and just bought it to add to the collection. James said the WR4 is on hold for now and can’t get out of him why. Hope he works on the adjustable that was supposed to be done before the end of last year. If he releases an adjustable Wolfman, that’s pretty much game over for me! The only company that can top a Rocnel Sailor to me is Wolfman with an adjustable.

How are you underwhelmed if you haven’t gotten it yet? 

I imagine they're not impressed with what they see and have heard of it so far, and more bought it for fear of missing out on something.

They are also for sale in bronze.

I mentioned adding the bronze option to his website and was surprised when he did. I couldn’t resist and ordered one.
