3 passes. Face lather. Good shave.
Today I’m trying a Black Shadow edge for the first time. I like the feel of this stone a lot. I used it with a slurry and with plain water. It is velvety smooth either way. The shave was extremely comfortable but I would like a 3-pass shave to be a little closer. I’m not certain this is the fault of the Black Shadow. I’m going to refresh the edge and pay more attention to sharpness at each stage.
Nice stone! I’ve seen that the owner of 1stone recently changed the proposed order of the Black and Green Shadow: now the Green one is the final finishing boss.
I bought myself a La Lune stone, but I haven’t tried it yet 🤷♂️

I wasn’t even aware of a Green Shadow. The Black is a very hard stone. The slurry it raised seemed similar to the slurry on my Ozuku.
I intend to try a La Lune at some point if I’m able to discern differences in feel between the stones I currently have.
