Another great shave with the Sabre tonight.
I decided on a face lather with the Yaqi and Stirling Sandalwood and the brush held enough soap for three passes easily. I am also lengthening my sideburns so I am more comfortable around my jug lugs (especially with the Rocnel).
I Find the Sabre ever so smooth, the weight sliding through the stubble giving a nice soundtrack as he goes, an easy 2 pass shave with a little touch up here and there, Nothing from the block, a nice cold water splash and a rub of witch hazel.
I used the Barts Balm sample pack again and i am starting to really like them, finishing with a splash of OSP Spice Road, which is a great Scented AS.
Another overall success, i am sure my technique is improving and helping the shaves as well as the Blacklands being just brilliant.
Should be a vintage week next week and i may have a couple of maiden shaves in store with some fantastic recently acquired razors Shhhhhh!
Have a great night all
