Sabre Week
Starting out with the Level 1 plate. Today was smooth and easy, nice and close, almost felt carefree! The weight of the handle kept me focused, as some of my "hands-free" razors are very light, and due to being tired or inattentive, I found myself almost forgetting what razor I had! (Great work, Shane Blackland Razors, making the Sabre! I don't think the Blackbird nor my prized Vector would ever make me forget the tool!) Blade is one of the GEMS that come with the Sabre.  
Brush is the Yaqi tuxedo in the Mysterious Space handle. (which, come to think of it, would pair well with the other worldly look of the Vector!)
And the soap this week will be House of Mammoth Z.

Hey Eric, if you have time, hit up your local Rite Aid and try the carbon steel GEM blades. A 10-pack is super cheap.

I’m getting much more comfortable shaves with them compared to the Personna Stainless/coated blades. I know everyone is different when it comes to blades, but they’re really worth trying in my opinion.

You just have to dry them off when you’re done shaving to prevent rust.

I gotta agree, the Synbad and Maple just go great together!

Beautiful pairings Eric, I think you hit it spot on. I've always ignored the Cashmere brush (no clue what type of backbone, etc they have). After seeing it paired with the right handle, it might be worth considering.

Great selection and great work (as usual) Paul!
