Very enjoyable, if somewhat hungover. My team reached the Scottish Cup final yesterday, sadly we didn't get the result we wanted but we still carried on boot it up, regardless. Third shave with the 74, this is normally the stage where the blade would be binned but I'm looking forward to seeing how long these infamous blades will go.

Today's shave comes with an interesting story, I was asked by Mr_Smartepants AKA Erik from over on the UK forum TSR would I give the razor a shave before I sent it back after lightly restoring the razor, the razor was purchased by Erik's Father sometime during the 1950s well all I will say Erik you are in for a treat the razor gave up a flawless smooth clean shave congratulations you have a real quality shaver coming your way.

My 2nd shave with the R2, another excellent shave i'm really liking this razor.

My 1st shave with the new TOBS soap, this is an extremely nice soap. A subtle lime scent that's very easy to lather and explodes into a lovely thick creamy slick lather. It's been a while since i had TOBS Sandalwood & Jermyn St soaps, but i don't remember them being this good.
