I had owned a Sabre Level 2 and sold it a couple of years ago. I found the shave too rough. For some odd reason, zig decided to give it another go. I bought a new one last month (of course, just before the Black Friday Sale!)

I have now used the Sabre, same Level 2 plate, three times and each shave has been smooth and efficient. I love this razor. Maybe in the past I used the blade too many times before changing it out. The Gems do last longer than DE blades, but when they start to dull, the shave really struggles. I will be more aware now and toss the blade as soon as I notice any tugging.

I think you will be very happy with your purchase.
