The ring of death is now very evident in the Hibernia soap dish, how long will it last? Who knows?
Today the V2 Sabre was fitted with the L3 plate, i have to admit i was not really looking forward to using the more efficient plates of this beautiful razor, however, needs must.
I lathered up and as planned went straight in for an ATG pass, from the first stroke i knew it was not going to be as scary as i thought, it was actually very comfortable. Again i could feel a definite rise in the efficiency and blade feel although it was not a massive step up from the L2 and still very usable. I completed the ATG pass without any issues, a quick rinse and face check told me it was not quite efficient enough for a single pass and touch up. I lathered up again and completed a XTG pass, the razor letting me know it was still cutting stubble but with a very comfortable face feel, the rinse off check had me calling a BBS finish.
The post shave routine was very nice with some light indication spots here and there from the splash.
I am really falling for this razor, up next outing the L4.
Enjoy your day all.
