For some reason, I could not post a pic yesterday. All good. The copper is stunning in person!

Just sharing my session notes for the B&B pass around of the La Faulx SS variant. I will start evaluating the DFS Ti variant tomorrow.
Metamorphosis
La Faulx SS Evaluation Series
Session 2
AESTHETICS AND HANDLING
Please see notes from Session 1 report.
PERFORMANCE
A transformative shaving session occurred today with the support of a Feather Pro Super blade. After applying another delightful lather of House of Mammoth Alive, I somewhat gingerly approached the first downward stroke of a WTG pass. And in that moment, I became confident today’s effort would result in an outstanding shave. With just a slight correction in angle, the pass continued with glee and ease. An enhanced level of comfort and safety elevated my confidence and speed. But I did not succumb to full reckless abandon as a level of respect must be maintained for the Pro Super blade. While I would not consider this blade harsh, it can lead to a level of post shave feedback in some razors, without vigilance of applied pressure. But that seemed less necessary with the La Faulx.
With WTG complete, I quickly moved through a XTG pass. Once again no danger was present and only swaths of stubble feared the combination of the La Faulx and Pro Super blade. And the ATG pass was no different. Although I did still slightly struggle with achieving an optimal angle in the mustache area. However, the results were significantly improved over Session 1. The only casualty was a small weeper on the right side mustache from a gluttonous fit of applying one additional touch up. I feel confident that my proficiency will continue to improve and fully master this section of beard terrain. Also no issues today with missing shaving angle engagement and spreading lather with the safety bar.
After post care application a very slight amount of feedback was present on the jawline and maybe just a hint on the right side neckline. The apparent safety and comfort with the Feather Pro Super combination is impressive. And today’s results were simply an outstanding BBS. I am excited to evaluate this configuration with the Ti variant.
Pleasant shaves to all!

I can’t seem to get an answer or response about when the new SE plates will be available for sale. I have asked on this thread a couple times and I sent you a message on Instagram.

Was told last weeks it’s a few weeks away but it’s not definite due to a lot going on. We’ll be first to know

The development of the new base plates of La Faulx is progressing well, they will be available at the latest in two weeks but I would like to offer them at the end of the week on my site.
After several tests I intend to propose two aggressiveness + and ++ which will have respective blade exposure of +0.05 and +0.1 mm with variations on the GAPs. Open comb versions will also be available.

looks great! Could you provide some notes for how each shaves?
How do you purchase the baseplates by themselves on your website? There doesn’t seem to be an option for that.
