My last shave with the WR2 (8 days ago) was the best ive ever had with the wolf. I wanted to give it one more go before posting my thoughts, in case it was a one of fluke but last nights conifrmed the results of the previous shave. I rode the cap more than ever before, basically just at the point the razor starts cutting and wow.. The WR2 has always been smooth but for me at this angle, it was even smoother than normal with not a weeper in sight.

Last nights shave was a great test, at 8 days my growth was a full beard and with minimal prep (splash of water on the face) the wolf cut through the growth like butter...
