Cracking shave today, my favourite set, possibly one of my favourite brushes and an excellent level 2 plate. I could possibly do with it being just a touch more aggressive but it is more than capable and certainly comfortable. I'll be keeping my eye out of one comes available at some point.

Hope everyone has a grand day!

Cheers

The level 3 is excellent for a few days growth but I prefer the level 2.
It's a shame your razor doesn't fit the newer plates or I would have been happy to send over mine to try.
 
Haven't used the C&E Sienna for a long time. A great shaving soap.
Sputnik are one of my favourite blades but I don't have a huge amount of them so I only break them out every now and then.

Tabac was such a good choice for a hot day like today ... not.
