During this years
SEptember i will also give my
Signature soaps a run out for the month.
The plan was to use the L1 Sabre, however, since the New Sabre turned up yesterday i thought i would do a quick side by side shave.
In the hand i like the feel of both razors, i do like the new handle on the V2, the V2 also feels lighter and has a bit more blade reveal.
So after a very nice face lather i was ready to go.
I started with the V1 on the LH side in a WTG pass, as i got to my cheeks i was thinking, "bloody hell this feels aggressive today" and checked the head?
Now then, i have to admit i was a bit of a plonker due to my eagerness to get started, i had concentrated on the set up of the V2 so had not fully nipped up the V1. Once that was sorted it was back to normal L1 service,
Onto the V2 on the RH side, from the off the new V2 has a bit more blade feel than the V1 although it is very manageable. The XTG pass both razors felt very similar reduced the stubble very well. There was not a lot left for the ATG pass and i felt again the new version was a touch more efficient than the old, it could also be familiarity with the old and angle finding with the new, both will get a few run outs this month.
Enjoy your day all.
