12/06/15 - I've been following this thread ever since it started and can finally comment about the Wolfman.... Mine arrived!!!
I only got the head because I really enjoy my ATT Atlas and Kronos handles and figured they would work with the WR1. I can always go back and get a handle from him.
For me, it's like a modernized Gillette New SC, which is my favorite old Gillette. But it's 10x better.
First couple of shaves using Pol-Silvers and I am very impressed. Overall perfect. I went with the standard blade gap and brushed finish, it's spot on for me. I couldn't be happier.
Very easy to find the angle. After 3 passes I had a No Irritation, BBS shave. Such a joy to use.

My Wolfman Ti stand arrived the other day. Here it is assembled with the Wolfman Ti head and UFO TiTan L handle.
Very nice pics guys. Good to see you in this thread Rodney.
Congratulations on you beautiful Wolfman razors gentlemen 
I am excited to hear that my razors have been shipped. Here are a couple of pictures. The single star base plate is with 0.74mm gap and the one with two stars is 0.86mm gap.

Is that Brass?
Yes, it is. The handles were inspired by the ones Molon Labe had ordered. I had asked for deeper knurling on both though.
Very nice, Roopesh. I'm looking forward to seeing your review of the .86 mm version.
I thought James wasn't accepting new orders until either January or February according to the "Availability" tab on his website.
Thanks Chuck. Unfortunately it will be some time before these razors get into my hand. Currently shipped to a friend and I have to make arrangements to receive them. I cannot wait myself.

I like your taste in handles
Also curious to hear your thoughts on the .86 blade gap, I love the .74 but I also loved the standard gap until I tried the .74.

Same here, anxious to hear your feedback at .86mm blade gap....
I like your taste in handles
Thank You. I fell in love with your handles in this design - so that made my decision easier. I went with 75mm and 85mm lengths with deeper knurling as I just love the knurling on my Weber Bulldog.
I will not be seeing these razors in person for some time
, so cannot provide feedback. Sorry! Will ask my shaving enthusiast friend if he can try them and provide his feedback. The damper though is that he normally prefers milder razors than I do. Thank You.

Those are good lengths. I almost went with 75mm myself but at the last minute decided I liked the 72mm length of the SS WRH2 I had at the time. Probably not a huge difference between 3mm, but I have fairly tiny hands so the 72 doesn't feel cramped at all. I've actually been using the aluminum one about 90% of the time and just grab the titanium every once in a while when I'm feeling extra frisky.
Lovely razors!! My only 'mistake' was to only order one from James. Thinking about getting on the list again once it opens up.
I'm thinking of Ti for the reduced weight over SS. Remind me is your aluminum both head and handle?
Handle only, I have the SS head. I like the feeling of it being top-heavy, it really allows me to just let the weight of the head do the cutting since it is balanced in favor of the head. With a heavy SS handle, particularly in the short 72mm stubby design, most of the weight was in the handle and I felt like I was constantly trying to counter-balance the head to keep the touch light. The lighter handle has probably helped me improve my DE technique more than anything else.
Thanks. I used a lighter EJ DE89 handle with ATT S2 and liked the weight/feel better than with a heavier SS handle. How does the SS match the aluminum in terms of color and finish?
