Friday's Shave
Cold Water Rinse
Proraso Red
Jayaruh #1
Eversharp-Schick G1
Personna injector
CWR
Granddad's Blend AS
The Proraso Red Shaving Soap face-lathered well with Jayaruh #1 Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Eversharp-Schick G1 razor with a Personna injector blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Granddad's Blend AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

16/10/20
Pre: Shower
Brush: Yaqi Moka Express
Soap: Proraso Red
Razor: ATT SE1 -G
Blade: GEM PTFE S/S (10)
Post shave: Cold water rinse, L'oreal Ice Impact
Balm: Proraso Red
Aftershave: Proraso Red
The question was "Will the ATT be on its game today"?
The answer an unequivocal YES.
I enjoyed that, The Proraso and Yaqi whipped up a lovely face lather then the SE1-G gave me a very comfortable BBS finish from 3 passes, i honestly believe there is very little between the L1 plate of the Sabre and the SE1-G, both give fantastic, smooth, comfortable shaves, YMMV of course, maybe the ATT has just a tad more blade feel but they shave the same. neither feel as if they will ever bite you.
If you're thinking about a new GEM type razor and you like a "Mild" shave, either will do the job, although some find both too mild depending on beard type, i suppose its down to how each look and i think both have their positives.
The Sabre is easier to load, the ATT is a 4 pice razor and it looks so cool, the thread pin being a separate small part (if lost the razor is Kaput, i always have the plug in when cleaning this part) during blade changes i do not remove the screw pin just loosening the top cap enough for it to come off then fit the blade refit the cap, check alignment and tighten up.
Stay safe and enjoy your day All.
