A welcome return of the Sabre today fitted with a new blade, By, he is a handsome chap.
The OSP and Chubby just do the business producing plenty of lather to carry off the shave.
3 gentle passes today, the weight of this razor oozes confidence to let the razor do the work, I really do enjoy using him.
A nice post shave finishing with the OSP splash which gives a nice hit of oranges when it first goes on.
Have a great weekend All
