Don't underestimate the blade exposure! A lapse of concentration caused me to remove a 1mm x 1mm chunk of skin from my upper lip. Luckily my Secret Santa sent me a tube of Proraso styptic gel which stopped the bleeding on contact.
So far I'm very impressed with this razor.

Hi there,
I am on the list for the R2, Al kindly leant me the M1 and R1 over Christmas. I have since organised the purchase of the R1 top cap and base plate from another forum member.
I find the M1 far too mild for a good BBS/DFS without multiple passes, and find the R1 is a great shave, but I find it causes irritation if used as a daily shave. I am happy with the R1 as a going out, weekend razor but wondered how you view the R2?
Al and others have mentioned it is as good a shave as the R1, but smoother. I guess a base plate somewhere between the M1 and R1 would be a perfect daily shaver for me. How do you think the R2 compares?
I used the M1 and R1 with Polsilver, Silver Blue, Rapira and Med preps.
As an aside, the Gel you used is good, when it runs out you can buy Witch Hazel gel in Boots for fraction of the cost of Proraso, though it is not scented.... Happy New Year when it arrives.....

In my opinion the R-2 plate sits between the M-1/ R-1 in terms of aggressiveness and a gives a much smoother shave.
If you found the R-1 causing you irritation then I'd say the R-2 would definitely be a better option for you. Unfortunately I just found it too mild for me.
