For my last shave in our existing bathroom today i used the Sabre V2 on L1.
They come tomorrow to start ripping out the old and tile removing for the new refit next week. It will be kitchen sink shaving for approx. 10 days.
Another face full of Badger with the resin handled SBB 26mm and plenty of lather for the shave today.
The L1 plate for me is very similar to the V1-L1, easily a daily driver, very comfortable with good efficiency. Today i completed a 2 pass shave WTG then ATG for a nice comfortable DFS finish.
In use the new Sabre seems a bit easier to manoeuvre and the handle is just great to hold, the L1 feels very safe, as safe as the Genesis to use i would say, fool proof.
As i strip and clean my razors between shaves i am conscious of the safety bar plate dropping out during cleaning so i strip it down completely and place pieces on a towel for cleaning and drying, a little niggle for me.
Overall though i really like the razor and enjoyed that shave.
Enjoy your day all.
