Yes, I surprised myself but am getting to realise that YMMV business makes sense...Everyone else fell in love with it but I guess I got used to the Weber and the S2 is now becoming familiar in my, amateur, hands so I didn't want to take the risk of using it and not liking the way it shaved so decided to part with it straight away.
I'll watch to see how others get on with interest.
Thanks.

I accept that I should have persevered...but we all make decisions on the spur of the moment. That was one of mine and might well not have been the best I ever made. BUT, thanks to the advice received here, I console myself with my proud possession of the Weber, which I genuinely love. And I have much fondness for the others...which you lot helped me choose - the S2 is a cracker, the Progress is versatile, The R89 is a mild, soft, cuddly kitten and the R41...well, the R41.... and the Braveheart has a sort of a useful place, albeit slightly towards the back of the queue ..... so it's not all bad
But I'm genuinely very pleased and interested to hear of all your experiences and hope to hear more and accept I should have been a bit more sensible and put it down to a temporary rush of (you know what) to the brain.

You're just saying that to make me feel better, Lee :icon_smile:
Indeed, Andreas, but I really ought to have sent someone round to check the house over beforehand...a bit like they do before they let you get a rescue cat or dog from Battersea or Blue Cross.

It's currently on Ebay. It prob. would be on BST, but.......
Lovely looking piece and beautifully engineered but a bit too light feeling for my huge paws. I've got some heavyish razors and have got to grips with them and, being a noob, don't want to start learning again changing technique etc. with a lighter feeling jobbie. And, realistically I have all the razors I need.
