Still trying to get this PAL blade to settle down but I read some good posts on palm stropping, corking, and was reminded of my Sabre L1 plate (probably the mildest GEM style razor combination I own). If this were a Personna GEM PTFE-coated stainless steel blade, I would already be into the good shaves by now. We will see how the next shave goes. I might cork the blade if shave four on the PAL blade is not smoother. Anyway, below is today's shave setup.

Growth: 2 day beard
Prep: Warm shower: Stirling Sheep bar soap
Pre: None
Brush: Rudy Vey 25mm STF
Lather: PAA Supreme Sandalwood Science (CK-6 formula)
Load Bowl: HC&C shave bowl (straight walled)
Lather Bowl: HC&C shave bowl (straight walled)

Razor: Blackland Sabre
Base Plate: L1 (no shims)
Handle: Blackland Sabre

Razor: GEM 1912 Squat Head
Blade: PAL Blue Carbon Steel (D3)
