A very smooth, close shave from the Streamline, aided by the slick Stirling lather.
One of my favourite razors with one of my favourite soaps.
Simple pleasures are so often the best.
Happy Shaving one and all!

Razor: Sabre L2 (on loan)
Blade: Personna SS
Brush: shavemac
Bowl: Little Wren Pottery
Soap: Portus Cale
Post: BBA aftershave balm.

Second outing of the Sabre from @Boru62

I'm really not feeling this razor at all. It took a lot of touch-ups on the neck to get anywhere near what I would call close. I got to point where I just had to stop before I cause any irritation.
Thankfully the soap is very good. However I did I change my planned post shave and went with BBA aftershave balm.

Thanks to Kevin for sending the razor and saving me a lot of cash. Well I say save. I'm sure I'll find something to spend the allocated cash on very soon. ;)

Cheers
Rob

My last and final shave with the 1912.
I don't enjoy using it as I find it rough. It shaves off beard growth but it's not my thing.
It's a shame really, as I read lots of glowing reports from others who swear by theirs.
OSP Barber Shop soap is very easily persuaded to load and build, providing a cushioning slick lather. Definitely the star of my shave tonight.
