Came in today & had to get in a shave. As always, impeccable Blackland packaging & presentation.
To save the suspense and any extra fluff as I’m about to head out the door with friends & family for eats & cocktails, I will tell you that Shane over at Blackland has nailed every facet and objective goal that he wanted to accomplish with the renewed Sabre. Quality & fitment is precise (fiddle with the top cap, guard and base plate fitment gents. Just to get familiar with how the guard and magnets fit into a precise position for proper blade alignment and everything else. Takes no time to get familiar with the process) with excellent feel in hand that is both well balanced & secure. I used the L3 guard attachment as I had 3 full days of growth to contend with. That guard size is a very noticeable upgrade in efficiency & feel over the original L2 plate from the OG Sabre yet, it still offers a very smooth and controlled feel over the skin that is on par with the previous L2 plate option. Feels like a more stable and direct Clog-Pruf with the smoothness of the OG Sabre. 2.% passes was all that was needed to achieve a near full BBS minus a spot or two on both sides of the Adam’s Apple area. I was pressed for time and left that for the next shave where I can concentrate a bit more on total whisker annihilation.
Very, very impressive first shave and I think Shane meet & exceeded what he was trying to accomplish with the revamped Sabre. Only 1 shave in but, I’ve had my OG Sabre since it was first released (since 2017) and have put in well over 100 shaves. I can honestly say with the New Sabre that this is a superior version that still screams Blackland quality, style & innovation. I’m extremely excited to run this razor through its paces with all 4 levels of shave adjustability. This is a winner at the moment.
Great shaves to all….

That said, the business day hasn’t yet ended in California.
I went out for a few days today, but I left home very early so I didn't have a chance to catch up with the post. But I confess that I was about to pretend to be unwell in front of the family just to have gained a couple of hours and brought it with me
