Wolfman razors

Hello everyone,

Does someone know how you can tell what the blade gap is on the Wolfman razor when it's not engraved on the bottom plate?

Thanks for the help

The standard blade gap on most Wolfmans is .61mm.
There is no way you will be able to determine the blade gap of one unless you ask the seller if you are looking to buy one.
James does not engrave the blade gap on his razors unless you ask him to do it when you place your order. Therefore, most Wolfman razors you will find should have the standard gap.

Shave side by side with the Wolfman and the Rockwell 6s using progressively more aggressive baseplates. When they feel similar, look up the blade gap for that Rockwell baseplate. I find the Wolfman to be close to baseplate #6 on the Rockwell.

Thanks for the help. The only way I can tell my razor apart is by the handle I put on them. If one day they were to get mixed around I am screwed

I thought about sending them to James and having them engraved. It's the only way to be sure

Buy a feeler gauge for around $5 and measure the gap. Measuring that way will get you close to actual gap. Then compare your measurements to the available Wolfman base plates to figure out which you have. Eg: you measure 0.59mm. James doesn't make a 0.59mm so it must be the 0.61. Then figure out a way to keep them separate or mark them somehow.

I was worried about the same thing, I contacted James and had him engrave the baseplate on my .74 and problem was solved

That's exactly what I want to do. It makes sense to have the blade gap engraved on all the base plates .

Though it can give a ballpark estimate, it will likely be off, since head geometry, etc. also play a role in how a razor feels on your face, and not just blade gap. Using a gauge to measure is probably the only sure way.

This is a great idea.
