id like to take part in trying out a razor but i dont just in case something goes wrong or i drop it loolAnother pass around, courtesy of James from Wolfman razors. This time it is Wolfman Guerrilla SB razor in Matte finish - 316L stainless steel.
Included in pass around are handle and razor head.
Now onto the more boring but necessary bit! Rules:
- open to active, UK members ( can be active either on TSR or ATG).
- Minimum post count: 100 (can be total in mixture between TSR and ATG), with at least 6 months participation on either.
- 7 days to try
- Disinfect the razor before sending onto next person
- send via Royal Mail special delivery onto next person once you’re done with it (just so the full value of it, £275, is covered in case of loss/damage). You are responsible for the razor from the moment it reaches you, to the moment other person has it in their hands.
- when sending on to the next person , include me in message where tracking and passing of the address is.
- I reserve the right to add/remove people to the list at my disclosure.
Once razor is with last person , I’ll let them know where to send it onto - since it'll be run on ATG too.
Pictures to follow soon

First shave was a side-by-side with old and new Guerrillas. The balance of the razors is a little different: the new Guerrilla shifts the weight towards the handle. The entire razor feels more solid and the hollow handle is less apparent. Even though the grip is better in the stonewash finish, I prefer the original handle dimensions and miss the little dimple under the base. No slip with wet hands on the slimmer handle - I've never dropped the brushed one though.
The head is slimmed down a little as well and is easier under the nose etc. The chunky safety bar on the original does restrict the optimal angle but does give you those oversized lather slots. I've never had an issue with loading blades in the old Guerrilla and normally load on the cap like any other razor, pinch both cap and baseplate together and thread the handle. Not surprised that James changed it though. Blade is locked tight in the new Guerrilla and no movement whatsoever.
The original does feel milder than the new.
The new Guerrilla is a smooth and comfortable daily shaver with minor blade feel (compared to the old version). Frankly after testing the new Guerrilla for the past few days, the end result and efficiency is very similar to the old razor I'm going to shave with the original tomorrow before saying which is closer. It's that close.
Personally I prefer the ergonomics and the balance of the original. And the finish. The stonewash finish is well done, I just prefer brushed razors overall.
If you are looking for a razor with high efficiency this isn't it IMO. Stick to the WR series. All my shaves have involved three passes.
