2.5 passes plus some clean up on my neck with a DE razor. I'm enjoying this smaller razor quite a bit, and the edge is feeling pretty comfortable.

I'm going to hold off on stropping until I notice a decline in performance. @gcgallant@sub.wetshaving.social and u/josiguuh piqued my interest with their lack of stropping over AA. I wonder if/when I'll be able to notice a difference.
