Lovely shave again today. I must say, I do like this milder brother of my 84-P very much too. Only difference with the .84-P I notice is around the jawline. That takes a bit more attention to clean it up properly.

Barbasol Floating Head, Astra SP, VDH soap, Aqua Velva

Just a side note, I found an Astra SP in my staff of stuff with a different label from the one's I bought recently. It lasted for at least a dozen used. The one I have been using degraded significantly with fewer than four uses.

A wonderful bbs Saturday morning shave! Fon goldenstar wedge is a effortless shaver , paired up with Murphy & McNeil's tobac fanaile only heightened the experience further. If your in the market for a new soap I highly highly recommend M&M , they have some of the best soaps on the market and the post shave feel is heavenly.

A very welcome change using the Signature soaps from nigh-on a month using the same soap. A fantastic lather was had today making the shave with the Sabre even easier.
BBS and comfortable from 3 passes.

Pre-Shave: Warm Shower, Proraso White
Blade: Shark Super Chrome (7th Use)
Razor: Muhle R41
Brush: Muhle Chrome Silvertip 21 mm
Cream: Proraso Red
Post-Shave: Alum Block, Dickinson's Original Witch Hazel with Rose Water

Didn't need to shave, but felt like it. I had a nice run on a beautiful sunny day so I had to shower. Figured, why not capitalize on this wonderful day with a shave.

I had some time so I bowl lathered today. I got a nice Proraso moist lather, not as watery as the Italian barbers, but solid.

I did 2.5 passes today. One pass on my right neck side to reduce chances of irritation. I also loaded up the soap in that area.

I had some tugging on the 2nd pass going across the grain on my right jawline. I normally have some tugging in that area, but this felt more than usual which I took as a sign that it isn't just technique, but also an old blade. Not sure if that is accurate, but nonetheless I tossed the blade in the grave bank.

I did a 3rd pass ATG on the cheeks and chin with no problems. I even did ATG under my chin where I normally get stuck on the skin and would avoid for said reason. I don't know why I did it ATG this time, but it went smooth with the light touch.

All in all, I am really impressed with my shave. Going to give it an 8 out 10.
