My handle UFO U2 has become my "go to" handle when I have a new head for testing. I can attest that the head Weber ARC is excellent, and to the handle UFO U2 are a couple "killer". I've got an extraordinary and close shave with a high smoothness. Of course in addition to the excellent Weber head, I used a Super Iridium blade of my friend milo in his first shave. I felt like a Rajah.

The ER travel brush didn't make the shot. Last trip I used AOS Lavender. Pleasantly reminded how great Musgo is! Put a little in my palm, worked it nearly entirely into a 16mm finest knot, and the brush kept delivering at dense lanolin lather!
