That's a hard one, as you say the blades are different and I've had success with razors like the brass General where you haven't so making a comparison to other razors won't help you much.......all I can say at the moment is with the blade I've been using its a Very Smooth but also a very Efficient razor, clean in two passes, and a buttery smooth finnish.

Now I have not used it with the SS Gem blades yet so can't comment on those but I am going to use one in a couple of days so will be able to tell you then. I am shaving with the Sabre for a full 7 days in a row so I can get enough of a feel for it so I am able to write a reveiw regarding the razor and the different blades I will be using. It's too early yet but I could stick my neck out and say this may be my best razor I've had yet.....but as I've said, It's a bit early to say for sure, the General fitted with a feather super is very efficient but perhaps not as smooth as the Sabre. I agree it is one stunning looking razor and for me even after only two shaves I would say it shaves as good as it looks!
I hope this has been of some help Rob.
). It was only the handle which was the deal breaker for me. I thought the shave it gave was excellent.
Nowhere near as mild as the Hone or as heavy. Could you not have the general and re tool the handle or simply replace with another brass handle? Charcoal goods or what ever they are called!
Resistance is futile, you know that!
Funnily enough we had a late night boozy discussion about accents and local dialects last night.Wow, it looks like paradise mate, I see you have picked up the lingo fast enough ! They will love that in Cornwall!
All right my ansum, right on!
