I enjoyed that!
No issues whatsoever, i was using a very flat angle and the shave was just so smooth. 2 passes for a DFS+ result.
This Palmolive/Maca-root soap is so easy to lather and the SBB Silvertip made short work of the soap to produce a wonderfully creamy, clean scented protective covering.
I did get a little indication from the splash just under the chin but very happy with that.
Happy New year all,
Stay safe and enjoy your day All.

The START Shave Cream lathered well with the Jayaruh #1 Silvertip Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Unmentionable Razor with an Unmentionable Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Pinaud Clubman AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Pre      -  Warm water face rinse
Brush  -  Jayaruh #355 Maggards Knot
Soap   -  Ariana & Evans L'Orange Verte
Razor  -  Blackland Sabre L1
Blade  -  GEM PTFE S/S (1)
Post    -  Cold water Rinse, TC's infused Witch Hazel
Balm   -  Barts Balm Lime Balm & Lotion
A/S      -  Pinaud Gents Gin
[Image: Wk-01-21-2.jpg]
For me The Sabre L1 tames a new GEM blade from the off, such a smooth shaver, i knew i need not try any other "New" GEM razor from my first shave with it, as for me this razor tops the lot.
I do love a vintage GEM though and again for me, none of them come close to this tool of shaving smoothness.
YMMV of course.
Today a nice early morning shave 2 passes for a smooth face feeler finish, the soap and brush combo worked perfectly, face lathering until the slickness was just right, this knot is similar to the RR400 Plissoft i have and feels great on the skin, i do like the scent of this one, a nice citrus burst wake up in the morning.
Oh and an uncensored Photo. Wink  

Stay safe and enjoy your day all
