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.

Time for a change of razor for next week. Had some really good shaves this week. I always say this when I use the Outlaw, but I really think this is a fantastic razor.

A Fantastic shave after a long day travelling home yesterday The Windsor paired with the SB is a dream shave.

I Bought this soap on here a year past July and this is the second time iv used it.
I really do need to take it easy with spending & enjoy what i have,
Easier said than done.

Here’s a couple of shaves i done in Norway although all much of a muchness from the shaves earlier in the trip.

Glad you made it back home safe and sound.
 
And as my final entry for this past week of SOTD's I am delighted to offer you a shave themed, 'A theme with no name' as I am running out of the ability to keep my brain working. And yes, I know, you are thinking 'Didn't that happen several years back?'


'Sod that, were leaving now before being forced to continue any further. We did leave the Captain behind didn't we?'
