My order, October 2, just came up. I had originally gone with a wr2 1.25 oc, after advice given here and reading the comments, I decided to change my order to a wr2 1.55 sb.

Good deal for your order. It's good to see an October order coming through also.

Probably most people got on the waiting list in September and now October/November will go much faster.

My WR2 1.55 arrived today, can’t wait to take her on her maiden voyage  Big Grin.

Excellent news. I anxiously await a shave report.

Good to hear James is moving onto October! It seems they moved through the end of September proceed with order emails pretty quickly.

UPDATE

My order confirmation came yesterday (from Oct.2).  I received info directly from James with regard to my inquiry.  There is no such option.  Either I buy and resale it, which I don't want to, or postpone / cancel.
I hate to cancel my order and I will probably postpone it till end of the year.  "Unfortunately", for me, my second spot is coming in a month or so ... unbearable situation Huh

How did you get yourself into this unfortunate situation and end up with two spots?

Like some other members here.  Experimenting with the new order process (which started Sept. last year) and filling forms every other week.  After years of waiting, nobody knew how this will work (if at all?) and how long it will take.  I guess some, me included, didn't take it seriously.  Now I know it works.  And now I'm loaded up.

In keeping with the sombre mood of the times, I ordered the basic brushed finish.
And a WRH7 XL in basic polish.....I like the contrast but it isn't for all.

Brushed basic is the ultimate no muss no fuss finish....I don't detect any lack
of glide whatsoever....this is just a rock steady workhorse.

It's taken upwards of a year of trial and error to come to the realisation that
1.35 is the lowest acceptable gap for my face...my everyday gap.
While the 1.55 takes over for multiple days' growth.

The 1.35 has just the right amount of blade feel...audio feedback of a Porsche 911
and just smooth as ever.

This makes my 1.45 gap surplus and I will probably look to offload it when some sanity
has returned to our way of life.
How does the brushed satin finish (up-charge) compare to the basic brushed finish? Do you think it’s worth the extra cost?

Do yourself a favor, go for basic. If you like a more matte finish basic matte, shiny, basic textured. I've always gone full boat, for the mirror. I did the basic brushed (upcharge) on a drop last year, and it is gorgeous. My google order for a WR2 1.55 SB with the basic textured is also beautiful and no extra charge. It is so good it is hard to tell it apart from a mirror from a few feet away. Next time I'm going basic matte. I'll never again pay the freight for the upcharge finishes, as lovely as they are.
