Blackland Sabre L1
GEM - PTFE
Zingari Man
PALADIN

First run with the Sabre and GEM razor- very smooth, comfortable, and efficient enough to achieve DFS+ with some buffing. Going to be fun getting to know this razor and and L2 plate as well.

Do you mean a titanium Stando Rod V2?

I am considering a general v2 or stando rod2 ss
I hope wolfman will release an AC razor.

@Sascoman- I find with the Sabre it needs to be opened to dry well, as the fitment is very tight and it may not dry fully if a blade is left in the razor. When I took it out of the cabinet it had some staining on the plate insides that was easily removed with some Scrubbing Bubbles and a toothbrush. It is a fine shaver!

A fine SEptemBoar shave for me today- two passes, one tiny bleeder, no irritation, quite close and smooth, 9+/10, DFS+:

Razor: Blackland Sabre- level 2 plate with a fresh blade shaves well
Blade: Gem SS PTFE (1)
Lather: La Toja stick
Brush: Zenith unbleached boar- great face lather today
Post: Rinse, a splash of some La Toja AS, a touch of sting on my neck, but smells and feels great

Enjoy your shaves!

Thank you kind sir - I always remove the blade and then wash and dry my razors after every use …… I’m OCD that way

It is a fine shaver indeed

A nice shave today with the Feather Super Pro blade. This blade may become my default standard for the Vector.

RAZOR: Blackland Vector SS [SB] / Timeless Ti Crown Handle
BLADE: Feather Pro Super AC [2]
BRUSH: AP Shave Co 24mm G5C
LATHER: Grooming Dept Omnia
POST: House of Mammoth Alive Aftershave Splash

SEptember

Tonight’s luxury shave
RazoRock Hawk V3OC
Schick Proline P-series (20)
Damp washcloth aka “shave binky”
AP ShaveCo Silksmoke 28mm synthetic brush
Pre-shave: no
Lather: Col Conk Unscented, face-lathered
Aftershave: Ulm Nom
Post-shave: face wash with shave binky
Post-shave: Neutrogena Hydro Boost gel cream

Lathered up and tried going shallow and light as possible. Kept scraping myself every few strokes. Went steep and even lighter. Better, but some whiskers on my jawline wouldn’t cut. Aftershave was refreshing instead of stinging. Will see if the blade behaves better next time.

Last day of Single Edge SEptember is here. Friday, September 30th has arrived all too soon!

Thanks to everyone who participated this month. We've been treated to some awesome Single Edge eye candy!

For those who have AC blade razors of any stripe, @Chan Eil Whiskers got his AC blade razors gathered together and is running ACtober over in the SE Razors room on the following thread:

ACtober (used to be October) is for AC Platform Razors | Version 1 | 2022

Welcome to... Yes, it's here at last. A whole month devoted to the AC platform. As much devoted as you want or as little. During the month of ACtober, which follows September and comes before November, shaving with AC razors might become somewhat of a tradition for some of us. Please...

www.badgerandblade.com

I may have one or two AC razors that I can bring to the party.

See y'all over there beginning on Saturday.

Yesterday while mobilized at work I used a Schick Grip with a Chick blade. Today, back at home I went back to my Hawk, bringing SEptember to a successful ending for me.

 

[Multum in parvo]

Final one for SEptember
DFS+ with a Schick M5 @6 and a Chick (lost count)

 

[JAHE]

Final shave for SEtember! Another highly efficient one with a KAI Captain...

Thanks @never-stop-learning for hosting the event!

SEptember - 100% SE
Great month of shaves. Thank you for organizing it, @never-stop-learning

Razor: Supply Pro
Blade: Supply Black (15)
Brush: Stirling Tuxedo
Soap: Cooper & French Old Goat
Balm: Proraso White
Aftershave: Bootlergger’s Eldorado

I used this blade at least once too often. The alum and aftershave let me know I got less than a stellar shave. But still sufficient for a DFS.

Thanks @never-stop-learning for hosting the event!

You are most welcome @JAHE!
