Now I've become more accustomed to the R2, I thought I'd give the highly acclaimed S.V soap a go. The sample was kindly gifted to me by the owner of this wonderful razor, Rob aka @Blackmass.
The soap took a bit of effort to work into a lather, but it was worth it. Great slickness and the post shave is up there with MWF. The scent's familiar but I can't place it, not my favourite scent but not off-putting, and I'd grow to like it.
I was left as smooth as a Comerson's Dolphin calf, which had been drip-fed the finest Sperm Whale oil for the first three months of its life, and then given a daily polish (Ambergris on - Ambergris off) by Daniel LaRusso for a week.
I hope you are feeling better soon, although a torn calf muscle is not quick to heal, you have my simpathy's P.Australian Private Reserve Santal SoapI've torn one of my calf muscles and I'm on crutches. Feeling sorry for myself I needed a big hug and some comfort food and nothing does that better than APR Santal. Smooth and smelling good.

Soap: Natural Ireland soap Co. Seaweed (Passaround @Manicdee )
Brush: Omega pro 49 Boar
Post: Alum & P&B Unscented Balm
EDT: L'Occitane Cade
I have just had a wonderful smooth 3 pass BBS shave with the Fatipe Piiccolo and Astra Combo.
I want to know if this soap received a Bronze Award who won the Gold? This is my second use and it appears to get better and better.
Using the magnificent Omega boar I whipped up an amazing thick creamy and protective lather with loads of slip and slide and a post shave feel second to none. A truly brilliant soap and one I shall be buying in the near future.
Thank you @Manicdee for the opportunity, I am well & Truly enabled.
Finished my Friday afternoon shave with Alum that gave me no feedback and Pheonix & Beau Balm before a generous splash of Cade.
Enjoy your shaves!

My first ever shaving brush and one I cherish.
It was recommended to me on this very forum and I now appreciate even more why.
Wonderful for the money mate.
Have a great weekend

I haven't tried the H2, but the R2 is very efficient and gets smoother with each use.Agree on the R2 plate @Boru62 - for me it is shaves almost as close as the H2 plate, but with much more comfort.
When you find a dolphin called a "Comerson's" you gotta go with the flowLOL, its a good job my office is empty at the moment and I'm not wearing cream coloured chinos
