    Yup, I know unboxing videos/photos are truly lame...but, since that not stopped me in the past...here is one my Wolfman razor that arrived today!

    Details:
    Head: Dual/Combo head in brushed, stainless steel
    * Head made to be 15-20% more aggressive than the stock one is.
    Handle: WRH7 in brushed stainless steel

    This lil box arrived today:

    Proudly declaring it came from the great north:

    Bubble wrap is universally seen as a great indicator of fun things ahead:

    ..almost as if it was there just to taunt me - another layer of wrap-stuff to get through:

    But finally...there it was....The Wolfman!

    Immediate reactions:
    - Beautiful,
    - Love the brushed finish,
    - Heavy and very solid,
    - Amazingly smooth when assembling the head onto the handle. Maybe the best fit I've ever seen on a stainless steel razor.
    - Handle is gorgeous.
    - Quality, quality and quality
    - Canada rocks.

    So, after having wiped the drool off my face and steadied my hands a bit I continued checking out this stainless steel marvel and to snap some more pictures...

    It's your traditional three piece razor design.
    Here you can also see clearly the dual/combo head configuration with one side having a safety bar and the other being an open comb.

    Safety bar side:

    It feels great holding and very well balanced:

    Note there's a bit of an 'optical illusion' here due to the angle and proximity to the camera lens that makes the blade look a bit uneven - but believe me it is perfectly centered and lies flat and even :)

    I'll be using this razor starting Thursday of this week and I can't wait :)

    I can't believe you are waiting until Thursday. I would have probably shaved the same day I got it.

    Using the iKon B1 Mon-Wed and then switching to the Wolfman on Thursday morning - hoping that that will give me a good ability to compare the two.

    That WAS a disturbing amount of pictures hehe just kidding. That looks like an very good razor.

    What "worries" me (for a lack of better word) that the handle seems slippery

    But I do like the open comb side, seems like it would cut anything

    The spot where most people grip their razors, the "sweet" spot, is knurled. Looks like a perfect razor handle design, IMO.

    I think I am going with the Dual Comb High Polished. Unless I change my mind, I will be getting the head only and use one of the custom handles I already have.
