Monday's shave
Pre-shave - Warm shower, Wright's Cold Tar Soap face wash.
Razor - Blackland Sabre-SE
Blade - GEM PTFE (Day 7).
Soap - Jack Black Supreme Cream Shaving Cream.
Bowl - Little Wren.
Brush - Simpsons Duke 2 Best Badger.
Post shave - Myrsol "Lemon" Post Shave Splash, followed by Ibiza-Aloe Aloe Vera Gel.
A very pleasing 2 pass shave, BBS finish.
I shaved with the Supply-SE on Saturday and Sunday - again excellent 3 pass shaves, now that I have the angle dialed in. I only needed a 2 pass shave this morning.
I have finished my pot of Executive Shaving Natural Shave Cream. Decided to open the Jack Black Supreme Cream Shaving Cream. I am finding it difficult to get a decent lather with this cream. First attempt, resulted in a watery foam - although the cream performed well, good glide and cushioning. Today, using less water and more cream, it was hard to get the cream to foam up. However, the cream still performed well.
The Sabre-SE is an excellent razor - no complaints. My feeling is that the Supply-SE provides a smoother and closer shave over 3 passes, compared with the Sabre. That said, the Supply-SE is almost to easy to use - on a par with the OneBlade. I am finding the Sabre-SE is more fun to use - it requires more concentration and discipline. As ever, YMMV
All the best,
Chris
