Further testing with the Le Maurice razor...

Today I chose the 316L stainless steel base plate with a 1.0 gap. Again, I decided to use the open comb on one side of my face while using the closed comb on the other. I really want to get a good feel for each type and any differences they may have.

I lathered up some absolutely amazing smelling Black Watch soap with my trusty Omega Boar. Seeing as it's still DecemBoar I'm continuing with the theme. I have to say though that this soap smells really good and produces a really luxurious, slick lather. I highly recommend this one.

I did a bunch of passes, I don't know how many. I did this because I rarely settle for anything less than a bbs shave and this shave was no different. With that said, I did enjoy this 1.0 gap over the 0.8 gap I used last time. I also felt less of a difference between combs on this base plate than the 0.8 gap.

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this shave and am loving gaining experience with the lovely Le Maurice razor.

Happy holidays everyone. Enjoy your shaves!
