Wolfman WR1 gap advice please

I don’t see many people talk about the .86 blade gap. I have a .74 and a .86, both OC, and oddly enough the .86 seems smoother and less harsh.
If aggressive razors are your thing, go with the .86.

I ended up going with a 74 SB. I’ll let everyone know how I feel about it once I receive it. I also compare it to the 61 and 67 I’ve been using.

Thanks!

I'll definitely be curious to get your thoughts on the .74 gap. I have a .61 SB and I really enjoy it... I especially love using it with 1-2 days growth... I find that's where it really shines for me, as it feels very comfortable to use (especially ATG pass) with less stubble/growth (not that it can't take down several days growth, as it certainly can).

If I get lucky, I'd really like to get another Wolfman which is exactly why I'm so interested in reading posts on the WR1 various blade gaps... So, if you don't mind elaborating, can you share your thoughts on the differences between the .61 and .67 gaps? I hear some people say there's little to no difference between these two. I've also heard people say the .61 OC and .61 SB feel almost the same as well. Obviously, this is a hobby where "YMMV" applies more than ever, but yet, I still try to collect as much info. as I can, sometimes establishing a "standard" view amongst certain items, which can be valuable info., factoring in ever so slightly while considering my purchases. It's fair to say the WR1 and the various blade gaps is an item I'm still trying to collect more info... But it may just be such an individualized razor (with specific gaps), where the only way to know is trying it out personally. But I still appreciate everyone's experiences and thoughts. Thanks!

Old post, but it seems that most WR1 talk is buried in the WR2 thread or outdated.
How are you liking the .74?
I recently picked up a WR2 1.25. I rejoined the waitlist for a WR1 .74.
I’m thinking of going for the WR1 to have something a bit different and because the RR Lupo has turned into a surprise favorite shaver. I believe the Lupo is modeled on the .61. I love how it shaves but wish it were a bit more efficient.
I think you have a WR2 too, right? Do the WR1s still get any use?
Thanks!

Hi there!

I did enjoy the .74 but it was the first one I sold when I started paring down. 67 was about perfect for me. For Wr2 I enjoy the 1.05 and 1.15 the most.

All a mute point. I haven’t used a DE more than once or twice in almost the last year and have sold all but my titanium wr2’s.

I use WR1 0,54DC for first 2-3 shaves on a new blade, 0,61DC for shaves 4-5 and 0,67DC for 6-7.  IF had to choose 1 it would be the 0,54DC

Thanks for the feedback guys!

I love the .74. My first WRs were .61 SB & OC. I kept them for quite a long time but eventually sold them after getting the .74 DC, and an .86 OC. Love both of those. I picked up a WR1 .94 the last drop before the google order method began.

So I mistakenly grabbed my DC .74, thinking it was the DC .94. I was midway through shaving a 2 day growth thinking ... Wow ! This thing is so smooth ! I then took a closer look and realized it was the .74. I personally think it is a great gap to have.

I love the WR2 1.25, and the 1.55. WR1 is great too in .74, .86, and .94. YMMV of course.

if you're familiar with any of these ... a Charcoal Goods Lv 2 for daily shaving, or Lv 3 if you skip a day or two, a Timeless SS .95, a Blackbird, a Karve F SB or OC. For me those are all top shavers. Not saying they are equal to the WRs, or that they are not ... just that I like those too for a comparison. 

A Feather AS-D1, or a Pils ...  I cannot enjoy shaving with them. Too mild. So if you like a mild razor such as those two, you may not like what I prefer.
