The T2 is great, just trying to dial in the most comfortable adjustment setting for daily shave. #3 seems on the money, but I'm trying partial increments either side of #3 to discover where close & nick free lies. There is no click setting on numbers, so there is scope to set between them for a tuned personal preference.
I've got no complaints with it. YMMV though of course.
I haven't had enough experience with other good razors to form a comparison opinion though.
Someone want to swap a Wolfman or such for a half dozen new brushes?

Put your name down now for the Wolfman of your own specification and it could be delivered by Christmas

Good luck @TroyTools, IF, Father Christmas could deliver your Wolfman on time during the pandemic.

James is constantly working through the list expediently. Before Christmas would be no issue. Shipping ain’t that bad. It’s just an excuse you keep using to not buy moar soaps!

Attention to ALL Wolfman razor loves... that's right... you know who you are Mr. Wolfman... please post ALL your pictures showing you're BARE HARDCORE WOLFMAN RAZORS!!! to @Gargravarr
i dunno how you do it, even with the minora (which i love) i cant go past 4 shaves.. maybe its cos i chase BBS and always go ATG? dunno, but 35 shaves.. wow
Well you’ve answered that question for me.Pre-shave:- Shower
Brush:- Shavemac Finest 23/46
Soap:- Murphy & McNeil - Triskele
Razor: Focus Slim Al
Aftershave:- Murphy & McNeil - Triskele
First shave with a shavette and a few weepers but nothing major. First time I have broken out the alum in a long while. Beautiful smooth 2 pass DFS+ not quite dolphin smooth all over
I am glad to have had the opportunity to try a shavette and will persevere until I have comfortably mastered the shave without nicking myself but feel it will never replace straights.

Stop chasing BBS
It's an addcition, purchasing moar soaps cured mine.
I have tried, many times... but i am weak
especially over the past couple of weeks... start with good intentions but then right at the end when i am about to wash up i go for it again, even though i know weepers will come (depending on what i use)
today, i will give it another go with the R41.. no ATG, no ATG, no ATG.... we'll see
