I followed along last month - mainly just reading the thread. It’s a bummer that Neal had to bow out for a little while, however I completely understand. Gotta do what ya gotta do for your own wellbeing. I hope everyone is doing well, and I’m glad to see a few guys coming back and posting again too. There have been some wonderful photos and posts last month, as per usual. Keep up the great work!
And, Charlie
@wristwatchb you and your bride have been in my thoughts. I’m sorry to hear that the recovery has been difficult. Stay strong. You both have it in you to get through this!
Following Jim’s
@jluc (now abandoned) method, I started using one soap throughout the workweek to finish it off. Most likely before the week is out, it’ll be history. Could be as early as tomorrow…
A little while back, I picked up this Blackland Sabre L1 from the DFS BST. It’s a mild little fella. Very smooth, almost zero blade feel, and pretty much devoid of the “buttering toast” sound that many GEM style razors exhibit. Just finished the fourth Ridiculously Awesome Shave (RAS) in a row with it. I’ve never used anything but CVS carbon blades up to this point - in any GEM razor. That’ll change tomorrow. One of the stainless blades will get tossed into the Sabre and run for a few more shaves. How many more days with the Sabre? Dunno. Until another shiny object vies for attention.
Hopefully I’ll be able to follow along for July as well, and maybe even contribute a little. Time will tell.
Have a great day fellas - and some awesome shaves as well!
