Preshave:
Hot water rinse
Brush: Yaqi White Knight 24mm Synthetic
Razor: British Gillette Rocket HD
Blade: Sainsbury's [Dorco] (2)
Soap/Cream: DR Harris Almond
Aftershave Balm: Bulldog Sensitive
Aftershave: M&S Woodspice

The combo behaved impeccably on its second outing, ably assisted by the DR Harris soap, and delivered a very competent, blood free BBS, 9/10.

Have a good, safe day.

Regards,
Chris

Purely out of interest of course, how much is that handle to buy if it’s possible on its own?
More than any rational person would spend on a handle alone, and probably at least double what the Hawk head costs. I bought it used and was very undecided at first. Fact is, it provides excellent ergonomics and control over the shave and works with more or less any razor head I screw it onto.

I wasn't expecting to enjoy the R2 as much as I did. It's an ATT - I shouldn't have doubted it.

I love the smell of The Dead Sea but I felt some irritation by the second pass and a bit of frag burn from splash. I've never had this before from this range. Gutted.
