3 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
Last night I took this razor back to the Jnat and worked it until I saw the edge moving water in the way I expect. Today's edge does not appear much different from yesterday's edge. They both tested the same for sharpness so, after honing, I stropped this edge a little less than yesterday's.
While this is most likely confirmation bias, I felt more of the feathery magic of the Fili 14 today than I did yesterday. The shave result is the same as yesterday's but I certainly enjoyed this shave more, knowing that I've done all I could do.
I also had a Fili 14 shave this morning, so nice ๐ค
I'm pretty sure the shave is better if you have red scales :)
And faster! ๐
