3 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
I took my time this morning to concentrate on how to handle the edge on this straight razor. The edge is not mine. It is the one that was put on the razor when I bought it. The razor has a beautifully finished Jnat edge. It tests slightly less sharp than my own equivalent Jnat edge on this quality of steel. Frankly, I think most people would prefer this edge to mine. So, today I was thinking about how to make this work for me. The answer, for today at least, was to spend more time shaving each area to allow the razor do its work, and to do three passes. The result was terrific.
