I own a level 3 and it's very definitely a 'special occasion' razor when I want to do the whole battery of things (pre-shave, get one of my very best soaps, alum, witch hazel, post shave and balm) whereas lvl 2 is a braindead razor for daily driving and the 95 for me is more like, one or two days a week in a rotation of a little bit less present razors.
Thanks for sharing. I had my first shave with the L3 last night and it was good. Certainly an aggressive razor but I had no issues and skin felt great even after apply alcohol+menthol based aftershave splash. I went ahead and ordered the L2 plate before they go out of stock so I can give that a try and compare.

On the SB Lv2 there is for me a noticeable difference in aggressiveness between it and the Lv3. Not so much on the Lv2 OC, which i found very efficient. When my whiskers are sufficiently restored, and I'm over experimenting with my newly acquired Wolfman WR2, I'm going to try a longer handle on the Lv2 SB, and see if the increased leverage doesn't enhance the aggressiveness. With the standard 3" handle it is a mild shaver in my hand. YMMV.  Smile

I just got a level 2 OC and I did notice increased blade feel and efficiency, but I didn’t feel it was more aggressive. I still had an irritation free shave. It was just a little closer than the SB.

I'll see how the SB shaves and keep an eye out for L2 OC in the future. I am planning to use the L3 SB everyday for the next several days, may skip a day too.

Hopefully he plans to do the SS with the level 1 baseplate and I’ll be buying one for sure!

Does Brian ever make razor stands? I can’t find anything for the magnum handle and I don’t want to drill out a Timeless stand yet to make it fit.

Brian made stands for awhile but I believe they are on the back burner till he catches up with demand on his new version razors.

Good to know. Never saw one even in a google search.
