Fantastic 

First shave with an I2. The razor delivered a slight departure in feel, relative to the Schick M1 and Canadian E3. Yet, this might be the most efficient of those. Effective BBS achieved. I will need to conduct a side by side with the Canadian E3 to identify which offers the higher efficiency. WK Timmermann red label provided a pleasing and warm scent to complement today's shave. I normally don't gravitate to this type of scent. But something about the balance of rum, vanilla and spice, meets Fall temperatures, makes this a welcome part of a shave.
