The last time I used the CG the level 3 OC gave me a 3/4" cut on the second pass XTG. I didn't feel it when it happened but it did bleed a little! Must have been inattention on my part. First time anything greater than minor nicks and weepers with the CG. I'm quite happy with the efficiency of the level 3 but the level 2 does provide a more comfortable shave.
Very true, Ron! Could have been many things: initial angle, blade, inattention. I cut myself pretty good with my Barbaros TR2 going XTG and that's one of the mildest razors out there. I was distracted and somehow got the angle wrong.

"The Perfector", a completely mysterious French contribution to shaving, was near perfect indeed. I came very close to abandoning the third pass on the beard, and dispatched with the head shave in one plus cleanups. I'm looking forward to another shave with the Rockwell handle which is also a good fit. Finished the last of the Coate's Tea Tree which is fantastic stuff.

Wonderful Sunday morning shave, breaking into the samples from the contest winnings courtesy of @Captain Pre-Capsize, had to include a gratuitous lather shot, used about a pea size drop of the shave soap from the sample container and the lather just was insane.​
